org Photo Contest


Share 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, which
means 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 125 th 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 care
about.
