Media Release 4 January 2010
The winner of Pareto Fundraising’s 2009 Festive Photo Competition, in which entrants uploaded a festive photo that inspired their friends and colleagues to vote for the entrant’s favourite charity have been announced. The first prize donation of AU$2000 was awarded to Hamlin Fistula International, an organisation dedicated to restoring the dignity of thousands of young women.
In a very close second place, CreArte received a donation of AU$500. The wonderful work that CreArte does with the beautiful children of Chile is inspiring. Third place the Kolisko Waldorf School, of the Philippines, received tremendous support as well, and a donation of $AU200 to support the school in its wonderful work.
COO Jim Hungerford comments “It was wonderful to see such passionate support of such wonderful causes expressed through everyone’s photos, votes & comments! Thank you to everyone who has made this such a success and congratulations to all the charities that were supported.”
“With 125 photos and thousands of votes cast, the competition was a great success. In the coming month, a case study will be published focusing on promotional tactics and how entrants encouraged people to engage and vote for their image.”
The competition was set up using social networking tool facebook and was built and administrated by an independent supplier company, Cheddar.
