Charity fund raising calendar get’s the people’s vote
The 2009 ‘It’s Showtime’ fund raising calendar, created by Jupiter to raise awareness and funds for ORBS (oncoplastic reconstructive breast surgery) has scooped an international people’s award!
The calendar was created and shot by Jupiter’s Adam Shaw (Photographer) and Lorna Milligan (Creative Director), and featured 13 women who have all experienced breast cancer.
Adam entered a selection of portraits from the ORBS calendar into the international photo competition – the Prix de la Photographie (PX3), which was recently held in Paris.
PX3 is Europe’s biggest and most prestigious photographic competition. Px3 strives to promote the appreciation of photography, to discover emerging talent, and introduce photographers from around the world to the artistic community of Paris.
Alongside the main competition, they run a ‘People’s Choice’ award, voted for not by the judging panel but by people online.
Nearly 18,000 people voted and ORBS won the ‘People’s Choice’ award.
We’re delighted to have won this special accolade and hope that it helps to further raise awareness and generate more critical donations.
