Vote for Picture Hope

There are certain companies, certain organizations, that seek to positively support women in this blogging, social media world. One of those organizations is Shutter Sisters. The women behind Shutter Sisters observed early on what powerful creative work women were making with their cameras and organized a site where women could share those images and inspire each other. If you're not visiting Shutter Sisters regularly, I encourage you to start.

Beyond that, the Shutter Sisters have come up with an amazing project. They saw a contest, sponsored by Lenovo and Microsoft, where photographers could submit proposals for their "dream photo assignment." So they submitted their idea. It's called Picture Hope. And it's beautiful. I'd really like their idea to win, but they need help to get it voted to the top. Here's what you can do:

Go to the Shutter Sisters' Picture Hope contest entry. Vote for them by clicking the yellow "pic this" button. (You will be prompted to register, which I did, and it literally took less than 60 seconds.) Vote right away, because the contest ends April 3rd.
