GetHealthyHarlem.org Photo ContestShare your view of Northern Manhattan and win a prize

Why photographs? GetHealthyHarlem.org (GHH) is a website that provides health information

and resources for residents of Northern Manhattan. It is also a social networking site, whichmeans that GHH is a place where users can post events, blog and share information. We want to

feature visual images of health in Northern Manhattan — the people, places and things that affect

our wellness.

Who we are: GHH is a project of the Harlem Health Promotion Center (HHPC). HHPC is one of

37 Prevention Research Centers funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and

affiliated with Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. We are located in the

heart of Harlem on 125th Street and have been serving the Northern Manhattan and Metropolitan

New York City community since 1990. GHH was launched in 2008 and the Northern Manhattan

community has been engaged in all aspects of website development and planning from its look

and feel to content and marketing.

Theme: What does health in Northern Manhattan mean to you?

Description: Through your photographs you can show what it means to be healthy in this

community — or the health challenges you face here. Where do you walk, run, jump rope? What

gym do you go to? Where do you buy your food or love to eat? Do you love to cook? What kinds

of things do you do to keep your spirit and mind at peace? How do you get social support to stay

healthy or to take care of you when you have a problem? How do you keep yourself healthy

overall? You can also provide photographs showing what these topics mean to someone you careabout.
