Submit your photographs for Covid Project

The GCA is collecting images for a new photography program titled "The Covid Project" which will document what life has been like during the pandemic and result in a free online eBook (and a print edition available for purchase.) Each club will be limited to submitting up to 5 images, of which at least 1 will be selected for the book.  Images may be accompanied by a statement of intent of 25 words or less. Clubs may also submit one or two member’s brief written recollections.

Interested in representing the HPGC in this activity? They would like every club to submit, so we need your photos please. Email a few of yours to hancockparkgardenclub@gmail.com with COVID PROJECT in the subject line and we'll submit the five we feel best represent the HPGC.

The purpose of this project is to provide a forum for GCA members to share their personal experiences in an a-political manner.  No political content, or content that is deemed to have political overtones, will be included. Read more on the GCA site here.
