THROUGH YOUR LENS: A National Photo & Essay Contest about School Facilities

Photo and Essay Contest

In an effort to raise awareness of the need to fund school buildings that support learning and provide a safe, healthy environment for students and teachers, Critical Exposure, the 21st Century School Fund, and the Healthy Schools Campaign are providing us an opportunity to show the public and our policymakers what our public schools really look like.

From now until Sept 14th, students, teachers, parents, and anyone with a stake in our public schools can enter the contest at www.ThroughYourLens .org. Your photos and stories will help inform a national debate over federal funding for public school facility repair, modernization and construction.

Selected photos and stories from students and teachers will be shown at a special exhibition in Washington , DC , possibly in the Russell Rotunda of the Capitol! Many more entries will be published in a "Through Your Lens" book and in an online gallery. Five student winners will also receive a Vado pocket video camcorder from Creative Labs.

For more information about the contest, to submit images, to download the contest flyer, or to find ways to promote the contest, please visit www.throughyourlens .org/promote. php.
