Picture A Hope (PicaHOPE)
Picture A Hope is a programme to see photography lending a hand to raise fund to better the lives of less fortunate and to create opportunity for the needy to live a different life!
For our first programme, we are producing a Digital-postcard of Singapore for sale to raise fund for a computer school for our neighbor country island, Batam. All proceeds raised will be used to set up a free computer training centre that provides free basic computer skills to the many IT illiterate adults in Batam with the focus of equipping them for better job prospects. With the support of numerous volunteers, the framework of the Digital-postcard has been established. The final product Digital-postcard is scheduled to be on sale around Christmas this year.
The Digital-postcard will consist of approximately 250 images of Spore with selected printable images of various file sizes up to 8R sizes.
In addition to seeking for cash sponsorship, our imminent concern is to select 250 images for the D-postcard. We are looking for suitable postcard images of all tourist attractions, cultural aspects and different festivities in Singapore.
Since this is a low-budget volunteering programme, we will be depending on the free contributions of photographers for the use of their images. Each individual will be accordingly credited for his/her contribution to our programme. As a token of appreciation, photographers will be given a Digital-postcard for their images used. Permission will be obtained from the photographers for the use of the images outside this programme. The decision of the photographer will be respected. A legal binding agreement will be signed between the photographer and fundraising committee on the rights of the images.
The Digital-postcards will be priced between $10 - $15. The CD will be distributed in Singapore at premises where we could get sponsorship of advertising space and media such as selected bookshops, and Changi airport where there are high visitor traffics.
If you wish to contribute photo of Singapore or want to support our PicaHOPE programme, kindly contact Gwen at gwenphoto@gmail.com . More technical details and criteria will be sent to interested participants.
