How can you capture the essence of your community in a photograph? What story does your photograph tell about your neighborhood and the people who live there?
David Goldblatt’s photographs, on view in The Jewish Museum’s exhibition, South African Photographs: David Goldblatt (May 02, 2010 - September 19, 2010), document the social, cultural, and economic divides that characterize his homeland—South Africa—during and after Apartheid.
In conjunction with this exhibition, the Education Department invites high school students to submit original photographs which convey the unique character of their own community through images of the people who live and work there. Please view Goldblatt's online photo gallery or visit the Museum before sending in submissions.
Send an entry form either by mail or e-mail along with one photograph (no larger than 12 x 16 in.).
