Are you ready to showcase your pride and joy to the world? The #JoyofPride is now accepting nominations for its annual photography-based art installation on power boxes along the Colfax Ave corridor. This exciting initiative is a joint effort between Colfax Ave, YouthSeen, Black Pride Colorado, and photographer Eboni Bonée Coleman of EB Pixs.
If your nomination is selected, you will have the opportunity to participate in a photoshoot with Eboni and be featured on one of 17 power boxes along Colfax this summer. This project is part of an exciting new effort to establish Denver's first Queer Cultural District and feature voices and faces of our local LGBTQ+ community on the street.
To be considered, nominees must live or work in the Denver Metro area and answer the question, "How do you find joy, strength, and belonging in your daily life?" Self-nominations are also welcome! Nominees must be willing to have their photo and quote featured and be available for a photoshoot in Denver between May 11-14.
Nominations are due on Sunday, May 7th, 2023. Selected participants will be notified by email no later than Tuesday, May 9th. Nominees from the Queer Youth, Transgender, and Nonbinary communities are especially encouraged. For nominees under the age of 18, a release will need to be signed by a parent or guardian.
All pieces will be produced as a full vinyl wrap and professionally installed by Harmonic Media.
