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.
