1. Imagine if... you were blind
2. Write down what you would miss seeing
3. Take a photo
4. E-mail your picture to admin@seva.ca
OR
5. Join Seva Canada's Facebook group
6. Upload your photo to Facebook (Twitter & Flickr)
7. Tag "Seva Canada" in your photo
8. Share your photo and message with your friends
9. Win prizes!

The first 50 people to submit their pictures will receive a beautiful gift from one of our generous campaign sponsors, Paperblanks!

So wherever you are, grab a camera, join the fun and help raise awareness about global blindness!

And in Vancouver on October 14th...

In partnership with SMART Pics, Seva will be setting up photo booths in 3 separate Vancouver locations on October 14, 2010 to encourage people on the street to participate.

Join us at one of these 3 locations:

On Granville Island, in the Net Loft outside Granville EYELAND from 11am to 3 pm
In the foyer of the main branch of the Vancouver Public Library from 12pm to 4 pm
At the corner of Broadway and Cambie near Blenz Coffee from 11am to 3pm

A combination of both SMART Pics, Seva and SIFE BCIT street teams will be at each location to attract attention and drive traffic to the photo booths.
