For the past 11 years, Loma Linda University Health has created an annual set of prayer notes to be used in patient care. Each card, similar to a postcard, has a beautiful nature photo printed on one side and an encouraging verse of scripture printed on the back. There is also a note that says, “I prayed for you today and asked God to bless you.”
The images are chosen from an annual employee photo contest. The deadline for the 2013 photo contest is Friday, December 6, 2013.
Following are the contest guidelines and rules:
- Employees may submit up to ten color photos they have taken.
- Images should be inspirational and promote feelings such as peace, strength, hope, or joy.
- Photos must be cropped to fit a 5.5-inch by 3.5-inch card.
- Photos with bright colors print well and are often chosen by the judges over more muted photos.
- Submit photos in digital format on a CD labeled with the photographer's name, work extension, and work location. They may also be submitted via e-mail to kmcmillan@llu.edu with name, work extension, and location listed in the e-mail. If pictures are sent from a LLUMC e-mail account, the file must be deleted from the “sent mail” folder after sending to free up space on the servers.
- Minimum resolution is 300 dpi at 3 x 5, and photos should be in jpeg format. Some cards will be printed for Children’s Hospital, so photos appealing to children are welcome.
- The 1st place winner will receive a $100 gift card; second place, a $75 gift card; and third place will be awarded a $50 gift card. Runners-up will receive a $25 gift card.
Submit photos to Kathy McMillan, employee spiritual care, LLUMC room 4011. E-mail questions to kmcmillan@llu.edu or call ext. 48406.
