Calling for photo submissions!  Submit to
peacecorpssfro@gmail.com.

In celebration of Peace Corps Week (Feb. 26 through
March 2, 2007),
the Peace Corps San Francisco Regional Office (serving
Northern
California, Hawaii, and Nevada) is launching a
traveling RPCV
photography exhibit.

We are looking for your best and favorite photo that
captures your
Peace Corps experience. Was it the stunning view from
your village
hilltop? The ribbon-cutting of your computer center?
The children
peering through your window? The women who taught you
to weave?

You decide! If you'd like to participate, please email
your photo* to
peacecorpssfro@gmail.com along with:

-- Your name, years and country of service

-- Your current hometown

-- Where the photo was taken

-- A paragraph that tells the story of the photo


How will your photos be used?

Photos representing a cross-section of Peace Corps
history, countries,
programs and Volunteers will decorate the Peace Corps
San Francisco
Regional Office and travel as part of Peace Corps
photography exhibit
throughout our region, beginning in Davis, CA on Feb.
23. All photos
will be displayed with your name and the information
you provide.

Other photos will be incorporated into our local
recruiters'
slideshows and presentations as they traverse the
region in search of
the next great PCVs.

Submissions don't need to be "calendar quality." We're
more interested
in the story the photos tell.

Sorry, at this time, we are only able to accept
digital photos (but
that includes high-quality scans of your great prints
from the
'60s-'90s!).

Please email your submission by Feb. 16 to be
considered for inclusion
in the first exhibit in Davis, CA on Feb. 23. A
submission will serve
as consent to the release authorization form below*.

Thank you! For other ideas for celebrating Peace Corps
Week, please
