Look Up Mobile!
3rd Annual Photographic Landmark Hunt
On August 27, 2010, volunteers will launch the third
annual Look Up Mobile! TM
Photographic Scavenger Hunt to raise much
needed funds for the work of
South Alabama CARES.
Held in cooperation with the
Mobile
Arts Council, this fundraiser is a one-of-a-kind event,
and gives you and/or your organization a chance to get your
name before the public as a benefactor of a worthy cause and
sponsor for something creative and fun.
The 2008 and 2009 Look Up Mobile!
TM Projects raised over
$25,000 for AIDS/HIV Education and Services and created
quite a buzz in the Mobile area. This year’s event is
expected to be the largest yet. Books will be $35 each and
sales will be limited. In addition to individual
participation, teams are encouraged. The contest is open to
all ages this year for the first time. See contest rules.
Five local professional photographers (TBA) have been selected to shoot a
total of twenty-five artistic photographs of historic and/or
recognizable locations throughout Mobile. These photographs
will be printed in a high-quality booklet with color front
and back covers that people will purchase as the entry form
for the contest. The books will go on sale to the
general public August 27, and at a special preview event on
Friday, August 14.
All entries must be submitted no later than 5:00 pm,
Thursday, September 30, 2010 to the Mobile Arts Council.
A grand prize of $2,500 will be given to the entrant who
correctly describes all locations. Winner must be
present to win. See
contest
rules for more information.
