What happened at our first LIVE crowdfunding Event during MEFCC
We're Aflamnah. We're crowdfunding the Arab world. We're changing things up a bit. We're making things happen.And the best thing about it is we're all in it together!
So we had this vague idea of doing a LIVE crowdfunding event! We asked ourselves so many questions
Will people come? Will they take part? Will they have fun? will they tell their friends?
It's a challenge but then we thought well let's do it where there's already a crowd and let's make sure it's relevant.
So we were delighted when the opportunity presented itself on a silver platter with Martin Beck's photography project We Can Be Heroes curated by MEFCC.
So here's what we did:
1. We set up a live photography studio - a real working studio - nothing fancy!
2. Martin dedicated three full days to taking photographs of people attending the event
3. In order to have their photo professionally taken, people had to pledge to the crowdfunding campaign on site - right there and then!
4. Photographs were taken and they could select the one they wanted which was then emailed to them after the event.
We've had so many emails from people who loved what we were doing, loved Martin's style and their photos and they now have a piece of the campaign with them in it cos we had the most awesome backdrop created for us by the lovely people at ArtPlus (http://www.artplus.cc).
So here's a few of the pics we took on the three days of the event
