Vote for photos of Glasgow taken by homeless artists
The images are the result of the 'My Glasgow' project by Simon Community Scotland, which provides support to people who are homeless.
Participants were given disposable cameras and asked to capture the city as they see it within one week.

Lorraine McGrath, chief executive officer of Simon Community Scotland, said: "People we support continue to amaze us every day.
"They have done it again, the images the public have to choose from showcase talent and love for Glasgow and all its quirks."

The charity is now inviting the public to help choose 12 final images to feature in the first 'My Glasgow Calendar', which will go on sale in October.
All finalists have received a cash prize, and the final 12 will receive a further prize for being part of the calendar.

Emma McBride, project co-ordinator for My Glasgow, said: "I've been blown away by the creativity of everyone involved.
"These photos capture the raw vibrancy and beauty of Glasgow from a truly unique perspective.
"I'd encourage everyone to come down to The Merchant City Festival, visit The Metropolitan Bar, and cast their vote – either by QR code or online.
"It would mean the world to our finalists."
The final 24 photographs were on [[pub]]lic display in the windows of the Metropolitan Bar as part of the Merchant City Festival last weekend.
The images are also available to view on Simon Community Scotland's website and social media channels.
