Pluralism Project hosts photo contest for religious diversity
The Pluralism Project at Harvard University is hosting a photo contest highlighting religious diversity in the United States.
From the Pluralism Project website:
We invite you to participate in our second annual Pluralism Project Photo Contest. We are looking for high-resolution digital images that convey the vibrancy of religious diversity in the USA. We are particularly interested in images in the following categories:
- Religious practices and rituals
- Religious centers, including festivals, center openings, and parades
- Participation of religious groups in American civic life
- Interfaith encounter or social action
- Women’s leadership and participation
- Emerging leadership within Muslim and Sikh communities
- Historic and present day images of the Atheist/Humanist, Bahá’í, Confucian, Native American, Shinto, Taoist, and Zoroastrian communities in the US
One grand-prize winner will be selected; the winning photographer will receive a $250 cash prize and an extended exposé in the spotlight on our homepage, www.pluralism.org.
What’s Next? PeaceNext
Every five years, the world’s greatest interreligious event welcomes thousands of people to see the world through different eyes. People of different faiths come together to learn, grow and celebrate their diversity. They realize that despite their religious differences, they share a similar calling to build a more just, sustainable and peaceful world. Friendships are made. Wisdom is shared. Lessons are learned. Souls are touched.
Why wait another five years?
The Council of the Parliament of the World’s Religions is pleased to announce the creation of PeaceNext, our very own social network that will bring together the global interreligious community in dynamic and far-reaching ways.
Share a reflection.
Post a photograph.
Pass along a link.
Celebrate your community’s accomplishments.
Share your city’s interreligious concerns.
Find a friend you met at the Parliament on the other side of the globe.
Meet a new friend who lives on the other side of town.
PeaceNext is not the Parliament, but it’s the digital extension of the event. Friendships are made. Wisdom is shared. Lessons are learned. Souls are touched.
Not every five years, but every single day.
