With the 150 year anniversary of the city of Nassau approaches, the Downtown Nassau Partnership is calling on Bahamians to participate in a photo collage project commemorating the special milestone.<\/p>\n
The response thus far has been underwhelming.<\/p>\n
Gevon Moss, DNP project manager, expressed disappointment to a local newspaper over the low number of entries for the photo collage initiative so far.<\/p>\n
“We are not happy with the low number of entries. The ones we’ve received so far are very good, but we want more,” Moss said.<\/p>\n
The collaborative collage project was launchedback\u00a0 in February with the goal of inspiring a new sense of “pride and patriotism” in Bahamians for the sesquicentennial anniversary in November.<\/p>\n
Persons are asked to submit photos which will show off the beauty and essence of the City of Nassau.<\/p>\n
Moss says the DNP plans to use the collage project to engage residents in a positive manner whle broadening the dialogue concerning the ongoing transformation of downtown Nassau.<\/p>\n
The ‘Towne of Nassau’ became a city in 1861 when Britain established the Anglican Diocese of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos.<\/p>\n
At that time, Christ Church was elevated to cathedral status and a bishop was appointed by Queen Victoria.<\/p>\n
Mr Moss said the project will help to record what Nassau is today and allow Bahamians to compare it to the city of 150 years ago.<\/p>\n
Mr Moss said the DNP wants more people to become involved in the revitalisation of Nassau. “It’s something for all Bahamians to be a part of,” he said.<\/p>\n
Persons still interested in participating can e-mail up to five digital high resolution images to mycity@DowntownNassau.org with their name, address, e-mail and contact information. The photos must display beauty, interests, composition, colour, originality and capture the essence of the City of Nassau, the DNP said.<\/p>\n
Entries should also include the date the picture was taken, title of the picture and a brief summary of what it represents. The deadline for all entries is April 10.<\/p>\n
The photos will be featured in local businesses and magazines, an exhibit at the Central Bank of the Bahamas, and in the telephone directory.<\/p>\n
