Ganas Student Photography and Essay Contest

We are very proud to announce the launch of the ¡Ganas! Student Photography and Essay Contest website. ¡Ganas! is student photography and essay contest designed to promote youth empowerment. The contest is sponsored by the Office of Senator Eliot Shapleigh, Wal-Mart, the Municipio de Juárez, the YISD Fine Arts Department, the EPISD Fine Arts Department, the City of El Paso, Viva Creative Group, and Impulse Development (hey, that's us!)

Teachers from multiple school districts in El Paso and Juárez will be uploading student photographs and essays during the months of February and March. The best 300 entries will be selected and displayed at the El Paso International Museum of Art during Cinco de Mayo week.

You can visit the new website at ganasonline.com. It was an honor to build the website for such a great project, and be sure to tell any interested teachers or students about the website.
