IMAGES OF RESILIENCE
An International Fundraising Competition for Meri Walker
Juror: Teresa Lunt
The National Association of Digital Artists (naDA) sponsored a special international competition for photographers and digital artists as a fundraising effort to support 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. All entry fees, sales commissions and other donations or proceeds from this international online competition were contributed to the GoFundMe campaign that has been set up for Meri.(gofundme.com/f/help-meri-walker-rebuild)
