VolunteerMatch and Squidoo have joined together to sponsor a new
photo contest. The contest winner will be able to name the charity that will
receive a $1000 donation.
The photos you submit need to capture the fun
and impact of giving back. Acts of kindness occur all around us and they occur frequently. Capture
those kind acts in photos and enter the contest.
Don’t worry if you are not a professional photographer. I’m certainly not and I entered my first submission today.
If you work for a nonprofit organization, you need to:
- Go to http://www.squidoo.com/kindnessinfocus and read the contest rules
- Get the word out to your volunteers. Have them snap pictures when they see kindness in action
- Carry a camera with you and catch your staff and volunteers doing what they do best
- Dig through photos from previous events and activities
- Submit your best photos to the contest
If you are a volunteer, you need to:
- Go to http://www.squidoo.com/kindnessinfocus and read the contest rules
- Inform your favorite nonprofit organization about the contest so they can "motivate the troops"
- Keep attentive to kind acts going on around you. Capture those acts in a photo
- Be creative when taking pictures
- Sift through previous photos for possible submissions
- Submit your best photos to the contest
Have fun and feel good about supporting a great cause. Even if your entries don’t win, you will raise the awareness about your favorite cause just by doing this simple act.
Don’t wait any longer. Pick up your camera and start taking pictures of people making a difference. Submit your favorites to the contest. You will be glad you did.
