Deadline for Next Contest: June 6
The deadline for entering photos in the C-Note photo contest, "Growing up male" is June 6, 2008.
This is a great opportunity for youth--including the children of credit union employees--to win $100, and even $1,000. All entrants stand an excellent chance of becoming one of only a handful of finalists. After that it's up to you and your credit union members to drum up the vote.
Your young credit union members, your credit union employees and their family members ages 13-19 can submit their photos by logging in and clicking the image on the top right of the photo contest page.
Anyone, registered or not, can vote once every 24 hours from the same computer or computer network.
