Five Objects Photography Challenge

This competition is sponsored by maverick entrepreneur and wine genius Max Boronovski!

I got the idea for the challenge from Allison McCarthy’s 18 Objects Photography Project.  I highly recommend checking out her site, it is full of quirky and creative inspiration.

The basic idea behind the challenge is to get peoples creative juices flowing by asking them to photograph 5 Objects from their bedroom and post them on the 273 Challenge Facebook Fan Page.  You can see my example here

With this challenge I hope to spread the word about Kiva and 273 with the ultimate goal of raising $27,300 in loans for entrepreneurs in the developing world through Kiva by 27/3/2011!

Prize: $50 Kiva Gift Certificate

This can be used to make a loan to an entrepreneur in the developing world through Kiva.  Once the loan has been repaid, the winner can choose to keep the money, make another loan or buy a gift certificate and create their own 273 Challenge!.

Start Date: 8 May 2009

End Date: 12pm Stockholm Time 31 May 2009

Winner Announced: 1 June 2009
