Canon Creative for a Cause photo competition invitation.
About Creative for a Cause
Canon’s Creative for a Cause is a photographic campaign encouraging Australians and New Zealanders to get creative for the causes they are passionate about to win a cause of their choice $60,000 AUD and $25,00 NZD.
Australians and New Zealanders are renowned for being passionate about causes and for taking photos. This campaign will link these two passions and provide a platform for people to raise awareness of the causes they are most passionate about through creative imagery.
Images are powerful storytellers. Through Creative for a Cause and the power of creative imagery, Canon hopes to make a difference to the many important charities and charitable organisations in Australia and New Zealand.
Canon is encouraging Australians and New Zealanders to submit inspirational images that represent the causes they are most passionate about.
Canon believes that a single image can change the world.
The Campaign
Canon is urging Australians and New Zealanders to get Creative for a Cause by taking a photograph that represents a cause that they are passionate about and uploading it, along with a 25 word description of what their photo means and who their selected charity or charitable organisation is, to the Creative for a Cause 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 from Australia and one from New Zealand will be chosen based on popularity and photographic merit. Canon will donate $60,000 AUD to the Australian entrant’s nominated recipient and $25,000 NZD to the New Zealander entrant’s nominated recipient.
In addition to the cash donation, Canon will reward the winning entries and finalists with a Canon product prize pack.
Cause categories
The cause categories to submit images under are: Arts and Culture, Children, Medical and Health, Humanitarian, Welfare, Education, Environment and Other.
