PHOTO CONTEST

Submit your favorite photo(s)! We especially need photos of CBIs and Volunteers in action. Bonus points if you are in your polo! Please upload your photos to a third party photo site (such as FlickR or Picasa Web) and send us the link to the album(s). There is no limit to the number of photos that you can submit in this manner, but please note that by submitting your album(s) you give AMIGOS permission to use/publish any of those photos and you affirm that you have permission from anyone featured in the photo to use their image. Your pictures will help us paint a picture of the AMIGOS experience in places like recruiting materials, our website, and in newsletters.  We will choose winners in multiple categories, and the over-all top photo will receive the $100 prize.  Click here to enter the photo contest.
