As many of you know, Finding True North runs Nunavut’s only Instagram contest using the hashtag #nunagram. Nunagram went viral earlier this summer as people all over Canada took special notice of Nunavut’s amateur photographers.
Each week, we enjoy perusing through your photos and getting a glimpse into the variety and beauty of the territory. Thus far, all we’ve asked if for people to tag their photos with #nunagram to enter in a contest to be featured on our page. But now we’re upping the ante. Introducing: #nunaween
Nunaween (Nunavut + Halloween) is our call out to all you costume-loving Nunavummiut to share your amazing Halloween pictures on social media with the hashtag #nunaween. Why? Because just like #nunagram was able to show the rest of the world how awesome Nunavut is, we want #nunaween to show them just how awesome Nunavut is at Halloween.
Nunaween Rules
The rules are simple:
1. Take a photo of you, your kid, your dog, your neighbour, or your boss in a Halloween costume. The craftier, the better.
2. Post the photo on your Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram page using the hashtag #nunaween.
3. Follow Finding True North on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Follow us from whichever social media accounts you have!
4. Photos should be taken somewhere, anywhere in Nunavut. Nunavut-themed costumes photographed elsewhere in the world also count.
5. Submit all your photos by Sunday, November 2nd.
We will feature our favourite photos on our social media pages and in a very special Nunaween blog post. And, for those of you who don’t know, Halloween in Nunavut is huge. Get ready to feast your eyes on some seriously ghoulish and highly entertaining costumes. To get an idea, take a look at some photos from previous Nunaweens:

Great Halloween pictures but your article in Vice was ill-timed: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/the-ghomeshi-question-the-law-and-consent/article21315629/
That’s a great article. It emphasizes the use of heavily negotiated consent in the practice of BDSM – in fact, consent is often more routine in kinky sexual relationships than in “vanilla” encounters, because of the risks associated with and the culture of kink. Even if there is some legal grey area that needs sorting out, the idea of *ongoing* and *negotiated* and *enthusiastic* consent is the key take home message, and something that the BDSM community, including the performers and producers of Hell in the Armory, should and do advocate for strongly.
