Call for Photos: Pride

Noun Project is looking for images that portray the spectrum of people in the LGBT+ community at work, in relationships, sharing their talents, and the activities they’re passionate about. More images reflecting the diversity and the reality of the community will help overthrow outdated stereotypes and perceptions.

Within Pride, we would love to see images that celebrate diversity and intersectionality including:

  • People of color
  • People with disabilities
  • Various body types
  • People with tattoos
  • People of various ages, ethnicities, and perspectives
