The Children's and Youth Photography and Film Exhibit:

An exhibit of photography and short films by children and youth with disabilities will be on display both during and after the day-long celebration.
 
Our past experience shows that this unique exhibit captures the imagination, beauty, creativity and wisdom of photography and films created by children with disabilities and allows for active involvement in the arts.

We are currently asking children and youth with disabilities to create and send us their creative masterpieces for inclusion in the photography and film exhibit.

Submission Deadline: September 18, 2009
