We want images of your life on Oct. 17, 2014
Say "Cheese" Nova Scotia!
The countdown is on. Just four more days until we create A Day in the Life of Nova Scotia — and we're looking for your help.
We're asking every Nova Scotian with a camera and access to the internet to show us a little bit of your day on Friday, Oct. 17. Who will you have breakfast with? Where will you go? Who do you love? What's your favourite thing about Nova Scotia?
Take some photos or a short video and send it on to us.
We will stitch it all together into a documentary that you can share with everyone you know. Think of it as a virtual love letter to — and from — the people of Nova Scotia.
We know Peter Coade is calling for a rainy day Friday. And we also know a little rain won't keep you inside all day. Let's show the rest of the world what Nova Scotians are made of!
Here are some ideas to spark your imagination:
- Celebrating an important life milestone Oct. 17? Take us along for the celebration.
- What do you love about your piece of the province? Stand in one spot and shoot us 25 seconds of video as you turn in a circle. Remember to tell us where you are.
- Flying in or out on Friday? You're allowed to shoot video from the plane. What can you see?
- Nova Scotia has 7,400 kilometres of coastline. Walk us down your favourite stretch. Take your camera on or even under the water.
- Can you shoot safely from your bike, kayak, car, bus or motor home?
We are hoping for an avalanche of digital media, from all over the province. Surprise us. Make us laugh. Make us cry, even. Show us the beauty you find in the people and places around you.
We've come up with a number of ways you can get your media to us. You'll find an FAQ list here.
Nova Scotia is a stunning place. We can't wait to see what you see on Oct.17.
