Call for Photographs

Community Show: Year 2020

How will the year 2020 be remembered?

It’s been said that the way we live history is not the way historians tell history.              

This is your opportunity to take your place in history and show us your personal life experiences and observations during the year 2020.

The Historical Museum of St. James-Assiniboia is creating a photographic show and we are looking for anyone that would like to be a participant in this collaborative  venture.

When submitting your photograph, think about what makes your image reflect the year 2020.  Show us photographs that capture your daily life, a specific event, a certain special individual, family or friends, a business, a place, sports, pets, school life, work environment, or virtually anything you can capture to tell the story of the year 2020.

We will collect your photograph(s) over the month of December 2020 and up till January 25, 2021.  (Submissions from all ages welcome.)

Participation Guidelines:

  • Email photographs taken between January 1 2020 – December 31, 2020, as a JPG attachment to st.jamesassiniboiamuseum@gmail.com.  
  • Please limit your submission to 6 photographs per individual and include name, and age of person taking photograph.
  • Please include a caption with each photograph submitted giving date the photograph was taken, where it was taken, and names of any individuals (optional), people, places, events, and any information that helps define the context of the photograph.

By participating, you agree to the following when submitting your photograph(s):

  • You have the permission of any and all individuals featured in the photograph to submit the photograph to the Museum.
  • You relinquish all rights of the photograph(s) to The Historical Museum of St. James-Assiniboia Inc. to use the photograph(s) in a public show, on-line presentation, publication or for other Museum related purposes.
  • Although The Historical Museum of St. James-Assiniboia will do its best to feature all submitted photographs in a public showing, events or activities, we cannot guarantee that all photographs will be included.

We thank all participants in advance. 

Stay safe and be well.

(*Please stay tuned to the Museum’s Website, Facebook and Instagram towards the end of January 2021 for announcements of how and where your photographs will be shown.)
