HOW TO JOIN: Buy A Postcard, Pay It Forward

In our effort to unite artists, promote their artwork while at the same time serving our community, we would like to invite photo enthusiasts, photographers - both amateur and professional, to contribute their talent and skill for a cause. The entire proceeds of this project will go to Tsinelas Foundation, a non-profit organization which promotes literacy and assists poor students in poor barangays in Cebu.

If you are interested, we are giving you the venue to make a difference. Here's how:

1. Submit two (2) of your photos. Any subject will do as long they are original. Rest assured that you will be properly credited as the photographer. You will retain full ownership of your photos.

2. Each photo will be printed out into three (3) postcards, that's a total of six (6) postcards per photographer. Each postcard will be sold for P35.

3. One of your photos will be blown up and put up in an exhibit at The Outpost on September 5, 2009. After the event, the blown up photo will be given back to you.

4. You will have to pay a fee of P150 to shoulder the printing expenses.

Payment should be made on or before the deadline. Meeting place will be at Turtle's Nest, Gorordo Ave., Lahug. We will inform you of the payment schedule. It would be best to come personally so we could also meet and orient you about the project and Tsinelas Foundation.

5. Deadline of submission of photos will be on August 12, 2009.

You can submit your entries to beyondartssake@gmail.com on or before the deadline. Please include the following:

Greetings!

Beyond Art's Sake, a group of individuals promoting art for charity, invites you to be a part of our project: Buy a Postcard, Pay it Forward. This project aims to encourage your participation as photographers to raise fund for Tsinelas Foundation, a foundation dedicated to increasing literacy among children http://tsinelasdiaries.wordpress.com/about/.

We would like to ask you to share 2 of your photographs which we will print as postcards. You can share any of your photos, as the subject does not really matter provided that they are original. Of course, we will credit you as the photographer.
Your photo files will be printed out into three (3) postcard prints for each picture. One of which will be blown up and showcased in an exhibit at The Outpost. A fee of P150 is also required to shoulder the printing expenses.
The postcards will be sold for P35 each and the blown up photo will be given back to you, the entire proceeds will go to Tsinelas Foundation. The photo exhibit is on September 5th.

We are hoping for your positive response. Together, let us make a difference one step at a time and prove that Art, is indeed, not just for arts' sake.
