Hope In The Shadows (New Art at Bandidas)
The photos featured are taken during an annual photography contest where Megaphone vendors use single-use disposable cameras to capture images of their communities. The top photos are selected by a community jury, vendors and supporters, and published in the award-winning Hope in Shadows calendar, which is sold on the streets of Vancouver and Victoria by Megaphone's homeless and low-income vendors. Vendors buy each calendar for $10 and sell them for $20, keeping the profit.
#10 - R.E.S.P.E.C.T, #15 - Best Friends, #21 - Belonging Love, #29 - Keeping The Past
Megaphone received over 1500 photos for this year's contest, which a community jury narrowed down to just 30 finalists. These top 30 photographs showcase this year's theme, "Belonging" and offer an intimate look into the lives of our vendors.
