There are only two more days to get your Giving is Awesome nominations into me. The deadline is tomorrow, December 23rd by midnight.
Here's the rules again that I posted a couple of weeks ago.
It's that time of year again to give back during the holidays. I've decided to join hundreds of other fellow photographers this year in the Giving is Awesome giveaway founded by the amazing Kristen Kalp. I partipated last year and there was no question that I would do it again this year. I got the email from Kristen a couple of weeks ago stating that she was going to launch Giving is Awesome again for 2009. It came just in time. The family below are the ones who opened up their hearts and nominated the "O" family. You can see their session here. It's all a feel good situation and I get to provide my services to a family that deserves their moments and beauty captured through my eyes. Something they can always hold on to.
Last year, Giving is Awesome, gave over $565,000 worth of custom photography to families across the globe. This year they are looking to double that total and hit the $1,000,000 mark.
With all that said.....here's how it goes
You know someone. You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty.
I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $800 worth, to be exact. Whether it's canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a slideshow to watch over and over...it's in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $200 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?
The rules:
You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-home or enjoying relaxing days at the spa does not qualify as sincere financial need.)
The nominee must reside in Northern Virginia or Winchester, Virginia areas. Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
Comment on this blog entry to let me know you've entered, and e-mail me the full story: kathyz928@comcast.net.
I will start accepting nominations on December 1, 2009. The deadline to get your nominations in will be December 23, 2009 by midnight . The winner will be announced (if permission given) on Christmas Eve...get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!
