Local Photographers help deserving families this Christmas.
Children’s Photographers join in the holiday spirit by launching the “Giving is Awesome” contest December 1st
Winnipeg, MB, November 25, 2009: Most people agree their family portrait is among their most cherished heirlooms. But for some families, affording the opportunity for a professional photograph is lost in the struggle to pay bills. This holiday season, five local photographers are hoping to turn things around for five local families. In the spirit of giving, Paper doll Photography, Peekaboo Studio Photography, Artsy Fartsy Photography, Freckleface Photography and Karen Hunter Photography each pledge to donate $1000 in custom portraits to families who simply cannot afford them.
The initiative is part of a worldwide photographic effort called, “Giving is Awesome." Premier photographers from around the world have already donated over $565,000 worth of artwork in 2009. That number is expected to double in 2010.
Winnipeggers are encouraged to nominate a deserving family by visiting the participating photographer's blogs for complete contest details and emailing givingisawesome@mts.net. Nominators could also receive a photo package worth $250.
The contest opens December 1, 2009 and closes December 20, 2009 with the winners being announced Christmas Day.
Thanks for posting this, Jay and Sarah!
