Background:
The CBRM Health Care Redevelopment Project team and Northside/Harbourview Hospital Foundation invites you to participate in a photo contest to have your work chosen to be represented in the new Northside Health Complex that’s currently under construction. As part of the project’s interior design, the work of local photographers will be displayed to showcase the talents in our communities.
Overview:
All members of our community are invited to participate in the photo contest. The photos will be displayed in waiting areas and hallways throughout the Northside Health Complex. Some of the images may be part of signage to help with wayfinding.
Please submit a piece that reflects the Northside. Members of the Northside/Harbourview Hospital Foundation, the CBRM Health Care Redevelopment Project, Build Nova Scotia and the community will form a selection committee to evaluate and determine which photography is selected.
If your work is chosen, you will be awarded a prize and your name will be recognized. We encourage everyone to submit a photo and help brighten the patient experience in the new facilities.
