'Make your wish count. Discover, decide and
discuss organ and tissue donation'.
A few weeks ago,
I posted about the Life Flashes photography competition that is being run throughout December and January by The
Heart Lung Transplant Trust (Vic) as part of
DonateLife Week 2013.
I know that everyone was really busy with the lead up to Christmas, and lots of people asked me to post a reminder once all of that was over and done with.... so here 'tis
I'm calling out to all of my creative friends today to join up for a fun photographic competition.
I'm a member of the
Heart and Lung Transplant Trust (Vic). It's an organisation that assists pre and post heart and lung transplant recipients at the Alfred Hospital.
The
HLTTV is running an online photographic
competition named
'Life Flashes' through December and January to
celebrate
DonateLife Week (24th February - 3rd March 2013) and promote
organ and tissue donation.
DonateLife Week is organised by the Organ and Tissue Authority and held
every year to promote organ and tissue donation. The theme of
DonateLife Week 2013 is 'Make your wish count. Discover, decide and
discuss organ and tissue donation'.
How the competiton works:
- Take / create a photo for DonateLife Week in line with the 'Make your wish count. Discover, decide and
discuss organ and tissue donation'.
- Write a 50-100
word essay to accompany your photo to explain how it relates to the
theme and promotes organ and tissue donation.
- All photographs will be published on the HLTTV Facebook page, and shortlisted photographs will be blown up and printed on large canvasses and displayed at
The Alfred Hospital during DonateLife Week 2013. They'll be seen by thousands of visitors and staff.
- There will also be a
small launch event at the start of DonateLife week where prizes will be
awarded to the winners.
In other exciting news, Chantelle from
Fat Mum Slim has chosen the
Heart Lung Transplant Trust (Vic) as her charity for the month of January 2013.
From Fat Mum Slim:
♥ I get a lot of requests for charities to be involved in the photo a
day challenges, and I’ve had trouble figuring how I could make it work.
I thought that in 2013 we could donate a prompt to a charity and bring
some awareness.
For January I wanted to share the charity: The heart and lung
transplant trust. So prompt number 3 is for them. They’re holding a
photographic competition over this month to bring awareness in the lead
up to Donate Life Week 2013 {24th February – 3rd March 2013}. You can
read more about it here. The photo competition is titled Life Flashes, so feel free to add the hashtag #LifeFlashes to your heart photo.
All the details on
how to play along are on
Chantelle's blog. On the third of January, I'm hoping to see lots and lots of hearts with the #LifeFlashes hashtag.
If you're posting them on Instagram, make sure to include the hashtag so that I can find them all and include them in an instagram poster for our DonateLife Week Life Flashes Photograpy Exhibition at the Alfred Hospital!
