Jack and Jill is excited to announce a photo contest for the 2018 SCOPE cover! SCOPE is our annual publication that showcases Jack and Jill’s exceptional programming, advocacy efforts and community involvement. For the 2018 edition of SCOPE, we invite chapters to submit a photo to be featured on the cover. In commemoration of Jack and Jill’s 80th anniversary, we would love to have your chapter recreate one of the images at right for the cover art. Originality and enthusiasm are the only primary prerequisites! To have your chapter’s photo considered, please ensure that you capture one of the images with your chapter children and/or teens. Alternatively, you may select one of your own chapter’s historic photos to recreate (the old photo should be included in the submission). The picture should be high resolution (600dpi). Typically, a 5MB photo (at minimum) will be suitable for print. Submit your entry in .JPG, .EPS, .PSD or .TIFF format to specialprojects@jack-and-jill.org by March 15, 2018 for consideration. The winners will be featured on the cover of the 2018 SCOPE. Other entrants may be featured throughout the remainder of the program year. Remember, SCOPE is made available to the public, so ensure that you have parental permission(s) before submitting your chapter entry.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR CHAPTER’S ENTRY!
