THE Provincial Eating Disorders Awareness (PEDAW) campaign invites amateur photographers from the North Shore to participate in a province-wide photo contest.

According to a press release, PEDAW is searching for photos that capture the campaign's subtheme, Perfect is Boring, and showcases the beauty of imperfections. All photos will be displayed on the Love Our Bodies, Love Ourselves blog (loveourbodiesloveourselves. blogspot.ca).

Amy Pezzente, coordinator for PEDAW, said in the statement she views the contest as having the potential to challenge perfectionism and the standards of real beauty.

She believes there is no such thing as perfect and hopes the contest helps others realize it too.

The top three winners will receive official Love our Bodies, Love Ourselves wristbands and Perfect is Boring T-shirts.

The deadline for submission is Aug. 31.
