• Canada Without Poverty Calls for Photos Depicting Poverty
  
  Canada Without Poverty seeks submissions of photographs, drawings and paintings depicting poverty in Canada – from the east and west coasts to the far North and all points in between, from urban, suburban and rural perspectives, from those with the lived experience of poverty and from those who may not have experienced poverty directly but can see what it looks like and how it is impacting people.
  
  If you have one or more images you would be happy to share and allow CWP to use with credit, they would be grateful to receive and review your submission(s). Their immediate need is for pictures to develop one or more powerful PowerPoint presentations depicting poverty and the faces of poverty across Canada today.
  
  Of special need is for images depicting the poverty that is more hidden from public view (they have many images of homelessness, which is the most visible manifestation of poverty). A good example of this type of imagery is that assembled through the Saskatoon Photovoice project of 2006. They would especially like to receive images from people with the lived experience of poverty who provide captions for each image submitted, captions that in a few words describe the meaning to them of what is on view. These kinds of images are powerful in communicating, in a few seconds, the reality of poverty in Canada.
  
  CWP asks that you send any submission(s) in JPG or GIF format to info@cwp-csp.ca.  - July 11, 2011
