CAIR-Chicago's Ramadan photo competition aims to encourages young Muslims and community members to pick up a camera-- or their iPhones-- and document their lives as they live them. We shouldn't rely on the media to tell our stories; rather we have to bring our own narratives and experiences to light. The purpose of this photo competition is to empower young people-- of all races, religions, and genders-- to tell their own stories and document their lives, and in doing so, challenge misconceptions about their identities and beliefs.
