5/20/2016 "What is a Hoosier?"

On Friday, May 20, 2016, Indiana University Press will look to answer the question “What is a Hoosier?” as residents from all 92 Indiana counties are invited to submit photos of their lives taken on this one day in May.

Photographs of what Hoosiers do, see, and treasure during these 24 hours will be selected and crowd sourced into a new book, One Day in May: 24 Hours in the Life of Indiana, to be published this fall in celebration of the Indiana bicentennial.

One Day in May will be a visual celebration of a state two hundred years young—a remarkable, one-of-a-kind kaleidoscope capturing a Hoosier’s world on this particular day. Through their own photographs, Hoosiers will reveal their passage through an ordinary Friday, from city streets to farmyards, offices to homes, state parks to campuses.

The book will be arranged chronologically from midnight to 11:59 p.m., offering an unforgettable glimpse of the state’s beauty and grit.

Participants may submit one picture per person with photo uploads due by Sunday, May 22, at 11:59 p.m. Photos should include a caption, the time taken, the city and location, a description, and the photographer’s credit. Selected contributors to the book will receive a complimentary copy upon publication.
