My personal reason why this campaign means so much to me…. Papie: A personal story that affects us all from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.

Movember Fundraiser/ Massive Prize Giveaway! from Philip Bloom extras on Vimeo.

It’s  Movember time again and once again we are raising money in the annual awareness campaign fighting prostate cancer. How do we raise awareness? MEN GROW MOUSTACHES!!! 🙂

Last year together through the prize draw and film competition on this site we raised over $60,000 which was INCREDIBLE!

There will be a prize draw again this year. I have got some excellent help in the form of Joanna Ely who has come on board to help me make this a success this year. Her email is JoMo@philipbloom.net.

We will be contacting as many camera centric manufacturers as possible. Anyone who makes anything connected to cameras and filmmaking in the hope of getting them to donate a prize for the draw. You can see the quality of prizes by checking out last year’s page! If you have something which you think will appeal to people and want to donate it as a prize please contact Jo!!

We already have the prizes rolling below so check them, also HUGE thanks to these companies and individuals. Couldn’t do it with you! There are LOADS more to come!

It will be the same as last year. Anyone who donates $25 or more (around £16) will be entered into a prize draw to win an amazing prize. Last year we had cameras, software, lenses, dollys..and SO MUCH MORE. The companies were so generous and this year I want it to be better than last year.

Jo will be writing to everyone to see if they can help, but again if you make something that fits the bill and want to donate something please contact Jo at her email address.

Most will be for the prize draw, currently the only film prize competition is the DEFY G2!

To donate just go to my Movember page by clicking this link, donate to me or if you have a friend in my team donate to them,  then forward your receipt to Movember@PhilipBloom.net so I can put you in the draw which takes place early December! The money goes straight to the charity and not through me. I just need the receipt as it’s your entrance ticket.

If you want to help raise funds and grow a moustache (if you can’t but still want to help raise funds that’s cool too!) then join team Bloom ‘Tache 

The Film competition is finished. Check out the incredible winners below.
