UK Fundraising has been sharing fundraising photos and images via Flickr for some
time now:

and we’ve noticed some charities using it too. But we reckon lots more haven’t dipped
their toes into this powerful tool for fundraising, communications and online community
building.

 

So, we’re launching a monthly competition for the best fundraising photo, image 
or screenshot, submitted on a particular topic.

 

Which topic? Well, we are in the lucky position of receiving books about fundraising
for review and coverage on UK Fundraising.

 

So, the topic of each month’s competition will be the topic of the book that is 
the prize on offer.

 

We start things with John Baguley’s best-selling “Successful Fundraising” (2nd edition).

 

So, do you have any photos that sum up or communicate successful fundraising? Why
not enter them into the UK Fundraising group on Flickr?

 

Not sure how to do that? First you’ll need to register (for free) on Flickr.com,
then upload the photos to your account on the site. Then, you can visit our competition
page at

and click on the “add photos or video” link.

 

We’re starting off by welcoming fundraising photos from anywhere, not just the UK,
but only photos from people/organisations based in the UK and Ireland are eligible
for the competition: we’ll only post the prize to a UK or Ireland address.

 

Want to see the entries we’ve received this afternoon just from inviting a few people
using Twitter? Here they are:

Good luck! The first winner will be announced on 1 March 2009.

 

Any publishers who’d like their book featured as a prize (we’ve got quite a few 
months covered already), do get in touch with hl***@************co.uk.

 

Is this competition a little familiar? Yes, we can’t claim to be innovative with
this idea. Thank you to [Professional Fundraising magazine for the idea](http://www.professionalfundraising.co.uk/home/info.php?id=90).
