You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s (or family-to-be’s) spirit, love, and beauty.
You know someone. I guarantee it.
I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography — $1000 worth, to be exact. Whether it’s canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a slideshow to watch over and over, it’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $250 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?
I have teamed up with a group of 4 other Winnipeg photographers for this amazing giveaway. All entries received will be pooled together and the 5 most deserving nominees will receive their session with one of these talented women, chosen at random.

The rules:
* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)
* The nominee must reside in Winnipeg. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
* Contest opens December 1st
* You must e-mail me the full story by Dec 20th : givingisawesome@mts.net
* Prizes not redeemable for cash nor are they transferrable
*Sessions must be booked prior to August 2010
The winner will be announced on Christmas Day — get nominating! Can’t wait to read all of your entries!
Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.
With love,
Lana Boulanger - Artsy Fartsy Photography

hi, Lana! I have been mulling this around for a while, who did you get started with this project? Would you be able to direct me to more information? Thanx! I think I want to get the ball rolling around here!
The winner is still in the process of being contacted. I will update with more details once they accept!
WHO WON THE CONTEST??? WILL THERE STORY BE POSTED??
I literally just received contact information and will be contacting the Keith M family. Any details about their story to be shared will be 100% up to them. I can say though that I am hoping this gift of family photography will give them renewed hope and allow them to really celebrate what is most important to them. Hopefully more specifics will follow…
