Winner of the film competition is…
Every November for the past 9 years I have grown a moustache in aid of the global men’s health charity fundraiser Movember. The aim of Movember is to raise money (and awareness) to beat Prostate Cancer, Testicular cancer and men’s mental health issues. Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men and is treatable if caught early, which is part of why this is done – to remind people how important it is to get checked, especially if you have family members who have had it. My grandfather died from prostate cancer, and my Uncle was tested not long after to find that he had it, but because he caught it early he is fine THANKFULLY!
Over the years my campaigns have raised around £170,000, which is amazing. £110,000 of that was in just the past two years! The way I have helped make those figures possible is by organising a prize draw giveaway, thanks to some amazing companies who have donated these prizes. If you donate £15 or more to my campaign and then send me the receipt, you get entered into the prize draw. The more donations you make, the greater chance you have of winning! You can enter from anywhere in the world. When you go to the page, you go to the donate section. You don’t join the team, as that is something different. There is also a film competition (more details below).
Here are the instructions to enter the prize draw:
FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS!
1: Simply go to this link which takes you directly to the donation page
2: This will ask you to put in your donation amount and personal details.
3: Make sure the amount is at least £15 (roughly $20, but do check the exchange rate as it is all a bit crazy right now and the total for the minimum is in pounds). You can donate more of course, but £15 is the minimum to qualify entry into the prize draw. PLEASE REMEMBER MINIMUM MUST BE £15 OR YOU CANNOT BE ENTERED INTO THE PRIZE DRAW.
4: You can enter as many times as you want, and as long as each donation is at least £15, you will get another entry for the prize draw. Just make sure you forward me your receipt to Movember@PhilipBloom.net Once you get the auto responder (which asks if you attached receipt) then your receipt has been received. You do not need to send it again.
5: It is open to anyone in the world, not restricted to the UK. If it is asking you for a UK postcode, you have clicked on the wrong link at the start. You have selected to join my team, which you don’t do to donate. Click here to go straight to the donation page.
6: Entry closes on the 8th December at 10pm GMT. This is the official end of fundraising for Movember 2015
7: One prize per ticket.
8: Any import/ duty taxes are the sole responsibility of prize winners. If you win something you don’t want, please email asap to let us know, and we will do a re-draw at a later date.
9: The exact prize draw date will be announced soon but will be in December.
10. You are donating directly to an organisation representing the charities – nothing goes to me. This is not a lottery, this is not gambling. You are being thanked by me for helping raise money for Movember by your receipt being entered into a prize draw for all the gear that many companies have donated.
FILM COMPETITION
This is a bit of fun and is in addition to the prize draw. There will be separate prizes to be announced shortly. Being a creative, I think having something like this as part of the push to raise money makes a lot of sense. The concept is simple “Recreate a scene from a well-known movie but moustachio it up…how you do that and what you do is up to you. Subtle, in your face…its your choice!
THE WINNER OF THE FILM COMPETITION CONSISTS OF THREE PRIZE!!!
AVIATOR
Aviator have donated their great looking new The Aviator Camera Gear Rocket Travel Slider Base Kit.
The Rocket Base Kit weighs just 3 ½ lbs. (supporting loads up to 45 lbs!) and compacts down into a deluxe padded case about the size of a shoe box. It easily supports high-end pro cameras like the Epic, Sony F55, HDSLR’s, Blackmagic Cinema Camera and more. Even a fully-rigged Aviator Travel Jib.
PREMIUMBEAT & ROCKET STOCK
The great team at PremiumBeat are donating a set of their special Movember gift boxes complete with:
- PremiumBeat and RocketStock Credit Vouchers
- PremiumBeat USB loaded with free SFX and AE templates
- PremiumBeat T-Shirt
- PremiumBeat Mug
- Custom Field Notes Notebook
Entries need to be made specifically for the competition and say so in the Vimeo description.
You then need to add it to this group on Vimeo!!
All films need to be uploaded by the 1st December by 1 minute to midnight GMT (I am sure you can work out what that is for you!) It’s open globally, and there is no age limit. One thing you have to do is to donate £15 or more, like the prize draw, but when you forward the receipt as detailed above put “FILM COMPETITION ENTRY” in the email title. You will then be entered into the prize draw AND the film completion (as long as you submit your film of course!) only when I have the receipt will I allow your video to be visible in the Vimeo group.
