What’s it all about?
Canon is urging New Zealanders to get Creative for a Cause by taking a photograph that depicts a cause that they are passionate about and uploading it, along with a 25 word description of what their photo represents and who their selected charity or not-for-profit organisation to their website.
24 images as selected by popular vote and editor’s picks will be reviewed by a judging panel who will then select the top 5 finalists.
From the top 5 images, one entry will be chosen based on popularity and photographic merit. Canon will donate $25,000 to this entrant’s nominated recipient.
In addition to the $25,000 donation, Canon will reward the winning entry and four other finalists with a Canon prize pack.
