Artwork is needed for the 2010 JDRF Holiday Greetings Program!! The Holiday Greetings Program to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation needs your help.
We are currently soliciting artwork for the 2010 program. Your holiday designs will be transformed into beautiful 5 x 7 Holiday Cards raising much needed funds for the JDRF.
All ages and talent levels may submit artwork for consideration. Individuals with type 1 diabetes will receive priority but all submissions are welcome and will benefit JDRF.
JDRF has raised over $1Million so far and we want this success to continue. Please help spread the word.
INFORMATION & GUIDELINES
Each year, JDRF sells sets of greeting cards made by kids and teens with diabetes and their family members. These cards give young artists a chance to help make people more aware about diabetes, and to raise money for research to find a cure.
MoreThanCards.com runs the Holiday Greetings program benefiting the JDRF Chapters nationwide. JDRF is now inviting all budding artists to send in their designs for its 2010 cards. Up to 15 winning designs will be made into cards for the JDRF 2010 Holiday Card Collection.
Cash prizes of $50 will be awarded to the artists whose designs are chosen.
