9/11 - IS THERE ANYTHING MORE TO SAY?
THE SEARCH FOR 119 PERSPECTIVES

We've received 72 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 15, 2011 midnight.

The most original submissions will be compiled into a curated online catalog.

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.
