I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

Introduction

​

The National Association of Digital Artists (naDA) is pleased to announce a special international competition for photographers and digital artists as a fundraising effort to support a vital member of our community, Meri Walker (aka the iPhoneArtGirl). Meri lost her home and all her belongings in the fire that ravaged Talent, OR on September 8, 2020 – a devastating loss. Meri needs significant support to rebuild and reestablish her life.  naDA is proud to support the efforts of her friends, family and others in the mobile art community in this endeavor. To that end, all entry fees, sales commissions and other donations or proceeds from this international online competition will be contributed to the GoFundMe campaign (gofundme.com/f/help-meri-walker-rebuild) that has been set up for Meri.

​
