Engage supporters and create fun photo contests fundraisers.

Traverse City, MI (PRWEB) January 14, 2013

There has never been a better time to fundraise in a new way.  PhotoScramble has launched an easy way for nonprofits to create a photo contest fundraiser. Replace solicitation phone calls and mailings, with the ability to receive donations based on photo entries and voting.  PhotoScramble has several revolutionary features available to promote the contest including site badges, QR codes, a website integration widget, and social media to share the fundraiser and give it the kick start it needs.

Today, more pictures are taken than any time in history.  PhotoScramble has used that fact to develop tools necessary for nonprofits to easily create a successful photo based fundraiser.  Each photo contest has the ability to be customized to fit the unique needs of the contest host – from contest title, contest description, rules, website address, graphics, photo entry dates, voting dates, prize award dates and most importantly, donations based on entry and/or votes. Other leading-edge features included are the ability to share an individual photo with social media, daily contest recaps, image statistics, image exif data, and winners based on judging and/or voters. Some of the most innovative features include: sellable add space for up to 14 sponsors, banner space, contest graphic space, contest statistics, and the ability to publically share contests in multiple locations, including the high traffic site of www.photoscramble.com.

When it’s time to host this year’s fundraiser, give PhotoScramble a try.  Not only is it fun, but it can be left online for others to see after the contest has completed. For the Love of Cats is an excellent example at: http://www.photoscramble.com/contests/glamour-puss-photo-contest. Take advantage of no daily fees and reach donation goals the New Way. Engage members to share photos and have fun.
