SUBMIT A STORY / PICTURE
During the Holidays there is often very little Queer representation and with your help, we want to change that.
We are creating a Community Collage / slide show and want to know what the Holidays / Christmas / Diwali / Kwanzaa etc. looks like to you. We are collecting photos, videos, short stories, and or poems from people, that reflect but are not limited to their:
- Family
- Chosen Family
- Friends
- Partner(s)
- Favourite traditions
- Favourite memories
Note: photos / videos do not need to include faces / people.
The material collected will be put into a slideshow, which will only be played at the beginning of the event. None of the photos or videos submitted will be shared on social media.
