Calling All Photographers: N. Hempstead Wants Your Work

The Town of North Hempstead will be holding a photo contest with an anti-bullying message.

The theme, "Not In Our Town," looks to stop hate, address bullying, and build safe, inclusive communities.

North Hempstead launched this campaign in the spring with the “Not In Our Town: A Unity & Anti-Hate Conference.”

“The Not In Our Town initiative speaks right to the heart of how we feel here in North Hempstead about fighting hate and intolerance, however in order to really effect change we need to get our young people involved” Supervisor Judi Bosworth said in a press release. “We are hoping that our North Hempstead students will be excited about expressing their views on this important issue, as they use photography to illustrate how they stand up to hate in their communities and schools.”
