January Greeblepix Contest! + Haiti Relief
Yay, friends! It’s Greeblepix Photo Contest time again.
And to celebrate Martin Luther King Day, as well as feeling like I need to do something more for Haiti – for every entry this month*, I will personally donate $1.00 to UNICEF in support of Haiti relief efforts. I am hoping we have a record number of entries, OK?
The theme this month will be “inspirational.” Photos that either inspire you to be better, work harder, or look deeper inside. As you know, I like themes to be pretty broad, so feel free to take the theme loosely, but given what has been happening this week in Haiti – I know we can all reflect on how lucky we all are today. And how we can do better at helping others.
Google has pulled together a great page with various ways to donate if you are able to.

As always, the Greeblepix winner will receive a $250 camera equipment rental from Pro Photo Rental!

Hi Aimee – good for you girl. Neat idea! Thanks for the contest, and thanks for the extra donation to Haiti relief.
So for this months entry I’m linking directly to flickr (thats a new one for me) instead of my blog.
entered! Is it bad if I’ve done so many Greeblepix that I’m having trouble remembering which photos I’ve entered and which I haven’t? LOL! Hopefully this one’s not been entered before. *snerk*

My computer is broken so I can’t post anything new but I’ll take a look through my flickr stream and try to find something that fits…$1 goes a long way in Haiti…so worth it. Thanks so much for the hard work you put into doing this and your generous gift.

Do you have any idea how hard INSPIRATION is as a theme? Jeez, woman.
Also, I’M IN AMERICA NOW. YEE HAW.
I entered! I’ve never entered a photo contest, before but it’s fun to throw my hat in the ring. And what a gracious offer you’ve made with your contest. Not only is my hat in the ring, but it is also off to you.
Oh man! Very cool idea Aimee. On such short notice, I went with something inspirational to me. I can’t create under pressure! lol

Inspiration to be better, eh? That’s what I totally call eating cupcakes for dinner after getting cold and wet in the rain, too late at night.

This is such a worthy thing to do – wish i had thought of it . Good luck hope you raise lots of money. Blessing on you !!!
Great cause – Good luck 🙂 !
if we get to vote my vote goes to jennythebloggess. Her photo touches a tender spot in my heart. My little sis is curently going through chemo for breast cancer. She is also scheduled to get a mastectomy after chemo. ow that she is bald we were discussing the idea of getting tattoos on her head and chest as a means of taking creative control of her challenging situation. Jenny’s photo is what I imagined it could look like.

I don’t need a camera. I just wanted to cost you a dollar.
What a great way to combine giving back with your contest!! I entered (even though in the past I’ve never thought my pics were good enough for any contest!) =)
You guys are SO rockin’ it.
I just found this contest/blog and appreciate your donating money to Hati relief.
Aimee, this is awesome. So many great entries and an excellent cause. a great first month for me to start out. Thanks for reminding me of it.
I really bent (OK, probably broke) the rules, but I wanted to make you pitch in another buck.
Well I’ve always shied away from entering for some reason, but for #haiti of course! 🙂
Ok, just because you’re donating, not because I think it’s a super awesome shot (maybe by next month….) =)
What a wonderful thing to do. Thank you.
wonderful contest, generous offer!
I’ve been holding off entering because I can never figure out what photo would be “best” to enter. But now? I still can’t figure it out, but I’m entering anyway. Great cause, great contest, great company! Thanks, Aimee!
Voila! A photo for Haiti… I thought children should be appropriate. 🙂
It’s only 9:56 according to my computer, so I hope I squeaked in on time! Not sure how far off we are from Mountain time…I’m in Oklahoma.
anyway, thank you so much for your generous donation to Haitian relief!
I cheated too, mine is a digital painting, but I just wanted to support your efforts and get you to at least 100!
Those who bound to to the standard faiths allege that the expert of their reliance rests on revelation, and that revelation is confirmed in the pages of books and accounts of miracles and wonders whose complexion is supernatural. But those of us who force long discarded the credence in the magical unruffled are in the self-possession of revelations which are the cellar of faith. We too arrange our revealed religion. We from looked upon the face of men and women that can be to us the symbols of that which is holy. We enjoy heard words of divine understanding and truth vocal in the gentle voice. In of the domain there experience come to us these sagacity which, when accepted, allow to us revelations, not of unexplainable belief, but of a real and fated fidelity in the clerical powers that animated and live in the center of [a themselves’s] being.
Thanks for doing this, Aimee. You’re one of the good ones.
It’s so awesome you are doing this… thanks!
OOPS. Just now saw this was from LAST January! Ignore my photo entry then, lol. But thanks again for donating! 🙂
