Photographers, your prints are needed for the AAJA Silent Auction

This is my second call for your donation of an auction photo(s). Corky Lee needs your donation by the end of June. 100 per cent of the money from auction go directly into the pocket of AAJA photo scholarships. Your donation is also tax deductible.

Dear AAJA Photojournalists,

Unfortunately we don’t have many donations yet!

Photo students can also donate a photo.

When selecting your print please consider what someone would purchase. Generally celebrity great feature, sports photos sell well.

Need one or two 11″ x 14″ prints to make this happen. The AAJA Silent Photo Auction is during the national convention August in Detroit. Coming or not, you can donate.

Mailing & Print Instructions:
1. Print (IMAGE) must be exactly 10.5 x 13.5 inches. Anything larger than this dimension will need to be cut to fit the frame size. Selected prints will be matted in 16” x 20” frame.
2. Please sign your autograph on the lower right corner of image with a silver metallic pen in dark areas and a black pen in lighter areas. The signature should be 1/2 inch above bottom of print and 1/2″ from right side of the print.
3. Include basic caption information of when and where you took the photo and description of photo on separate paper.
4. Enclose your name, affiliation, address, phone number and email address.
5. Do not send CD or email photo.
6. When mailing and packaging, corrugated card boards are suggested to keep print(s) from bending. Last year some photographers mailed in tubes available at the post office, additional packing materials are available.

Call for prints to benefit AAJA student scholarships

Dear AAJA photographers,

The Silent Auction at the AAJA National Convention was very successful.

But we need more of your 11 x 14 prints for Silent Photo Auctions in San Francisco and Sacramento that will help out AAJA Chapter student scholarships.

Please donate one or two prints to each of the chapters to be sold at the AAJA Silent Photo Auctions in San Francisco on Saturday, Sept. 18, and in Sacramento on Monday, Oct. 4.

When selecting your donation print, consider what someone would purchase. In other words, spot news doesn’t sell well – sports stars, celebrities and great feature photos sell well. People who buy these photos want to hang the purchased photo on their wall.

Mailing Print:
-Your 11×14 print will be framed in a glass frame.
-Autograph your print on the lower right under the photo in white border area.
-Include basic caption information of when and where you took the photo and description of photo on separate paper.
-Enclose your name, affiliation, address, phone number and email address.
-Do not send CD or email photo. Prints without autographs do NOT sell well.
