Elliot Yamin and the Inspired By Diabetes Creative Expression Competition
Since November is American Diabetes Month, I thought I’d remind you of the Inspired by Diabetes contest I told you about a while back.
What’s new is that Elliot Yamin, of American Idol fame, diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 16, has signed on to be a “global ambassador” to speak out about the disease.
He will serve as a judge for entries from the U.S., and will donate a package of concert tickets and backstage passes to the U.S. grand prize winners. In addition to the Yamin concert tickets for U.S. winners, the U.S. and global winners will still each receive a $5,000 USD contribution to charity and a trip to the U.S. or global Inspired by Diabetes art exhibition.
Remember, the contest ends January 31, 2008.
