Canon supports Illinois photojournalists
A big shout out to Canon for their support of the photojournalism community in Illinois!
Canon has donated a 40D kit (body with EF 25-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS lens) to be donated to the winner of the IPPA Monthly Clip Contest winner. Fred Zwicky, of the Peoria Journal Star, was the winner of the contest and accepts the camera with a huge smile. Thanks Canon!
Canon also sponsored our IPPA/WNPA convention, underwriting one of the breaks. Canon also gave us a Canon 9900i PIXMA Inkjet Printer and supplies to make prints for the upcoming iBOP Gallery Show. Details on the showcase of winning photos will be announced later. Canon also donated a camera bag, which will go to a yet-to-be-determined contest winner.
Thanks to Ed Meyers <emeyers at cusa.canon.com> for showing their goodies Saturday. Contact him (Chicago area) or Brian Matsumoto <bmatsumoto at cusa.canon.com> (downstate) for more from Canon.
