IN SEARCH OF 119 PERSPECTIVES on 9/11






We've received 50 different perspectives on 9/11 from all over the world. We're waiting for yours.

10 years after 9/11 we want to know: How do you remember it? Do you remember? Where were you when it happened? Does the day matter, then or now? Does remembering do any good? What does the day say about America and Americans? How has it shaped the first decade of the new millennium? How has it shaped you?

We're accepting: -video (max. 1 minute) -photography (max. 2 images with short caption) -text (max. 500 words)


Send in your submission to writepentales@gmail.com with the following in the subject line: "9/11, your name and location". We're accepting works until September 11, 2011 midnight.

We'll present works in numerical order as they come in. Each featured piece will be introduced by our editors and the most original submissions compiled into a larger collection.


PenTales was created in New York City by two childhood friends who've always loved to swap tales. We're now a community of thousands around the world who share our perspectives in person and online in photography, writing, and video on topics that unite us all.
