The expression goes “a picture says 1000 words”; well for us a picture says 110 words and they’re all about social impact. AGBU has partnered with PicsArt to celebrate 110 years of global philanthropy, education, and cultural development in the Armenian community through our #Snapshot110 photo challenge.

The Challenge:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Share AGBU’s global social impact by communicating our key values (see word bank below) through an image. Take a snapshot of AGBU events and activities, or photograph one of the many centers, institutions, and hubs for development that AGBU has established worldwide. Use PicsArt’s editing suite to transform your images with your creative touch, and/or underline the social impact value of your choice. This is an international competition, so join in and represent your city!
