Impact 100 Announces Photo Contest
Impact 100, the women’s philanthropic organization that has awarded more than $1.2 million dollars in grants in the past four years to Indian River non-profits, has announced a photo contest open to amateur photographers in the county. There is no entry fee to participate. The winner will receive $250; second place, $175; and third place $100. An anonymous donor has donated the prize money on behalf of Impact 100. The photos will be used in videos and various publications for Impact 100.
“The photos should depict the essence of what Impact 100 is all about,” explains Vice President, Communications Martha Lemasters. “We will assign each of the photographers to two of our community partners to take photographs. We are looking for the humanity of our grants…the achievement of our grants in touching photos depicting an end result,” she explains. Each photographer can enter up to 12 images for consideration. For more information about Impact 100 contestants should refer to the Impact 100 video now playing on Youtube.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnpP2yrvBbg.
