Something for the Subway

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Contacting Toronto: We’re in this Together

‘We’re in this Together’ is opening up a dialogue about Toronto in all its facets, and we are looking for images that explore Toronto in the following ways: the different communities that define Toronto; how personal relationships help make the city more livable; current political and economic realities; geographical boundaries; ecological uncertainties. All accepted images will be seen on over 300 screens across the TTC, with a photo playing once every five minutes all day throughout the month of May, as well as on the project website. A Public Installation of CONTACT; supported by the the Ontario Arts Council. Submissions must be made through Flickr. Submission Deadline: May 30th, 2012. www.contactingtoronto.ca
