The Queensland Community Foundation (QCF) invites all Queensland based photographers, instagrammers, philanthropists and charities to enter the 2019 QCF Photo Challenge, part of the QCF Philanthropy Week. For your chance to win yourself $500, and your favourite Queensland charity $2000.
The photo challenge is run by QCF to support and promote philanthropy and giving in our community. The photo can be realistic or conceptual, specific or broad. It can be an act of compassion, kindness, doing good or highlight a specific cause or issue.
Entry is simple; take a photo and post it on Instagram or facebook, tagging QCF and using QCF Photo Challenge hashtags #qcf #qcfphotochallenge19 #dogoodqld OR submit your entry at www.qcf.org.au/photo_challenge_2019
The QCF Philanthropy in Focus Photography Challenge is open for the entire month of April, for your chance to win your favourite Queensland charity $2000. The Photo Challenge is proudly supported by Northern Trust.
“Northern Trust is delighted to support the QCF Philanthropy in Focus Photo Challenge once again. Last year’s challenge produced some incredibly moving images and stories of philanthropy-in-action, which directly engaged with a broad audience through social media channels. We are excited to see what the talented photographers of Queensland can capture this year!” Angelo Calvitto, Country Executive Australia, Northern Trust.
QCF was established over 20 years ago as an enduring source of funds to serve those in need.
The challenge is to capture philanthropy, giving or kindness in action. Queenslanders, and Queensland based charities can enter multiple entries into the challenge.
“The photo challenge is a fun and easy way to take part in QCF Philanthropy Week. Photographers or instagrammers can team up with non-profit organisations or enter independently. The photograph needs to tell a story which celebrates and inspires giving, kindness and compassion.”
– Bronwynn van Baalen, Executive Officer QCF.
The challenge closes on 30 April, and the winning entry will receive a $2,000 donation for the Queensland charity of their choice and a $500 prize for the photographer.
The photo challenge is open to professional and amateur photographers.
