In July, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) participated in the first AYLUS National Volunteer Showcase Photography Contest. The National Photography Committee Chair, GPA leader Cynthia Jinghui Huang, initiated this contest to promote AYLUS youth volunteerism across the country. The contest is open to all 115 branches nationwide until the end of July, 2022.
All branches are encouraged to select an unlimited number of photos reflecting their beautiful and meaningful moments of their volunteer activities over the past years, and submit them to volunteerphoto2022@gmail.com in the name of their branch.
Awards include First Prize of $300, Second Prize of $200, and Third Prize of $100, paid to the awarded branches to cover the costs of community activities.
AYLUS will produce a showcase video using submitted photos to promote AYLUS youth volunteerism, while all rights to the photographs remain with the photographers.
