Manchester, VT – February 14, 2014 – Digital Wish is running a yearbook photo contest. Entries are due May  5, 2014, on Cinco de Mayo.  We’ve teamed up with Olympus, Picaboo Yearbooks, and a talented photographer from USA Today to give away three Olympus digital yearbook cameras, as well as an iPad. We are also giving one of the winners a class set of 30 free yearbooks. Just simply enter the contest by uploading your photo to our photo contest website.

This contest marks the launch of a new partnership between Digital Wish and Picaboo Yearbooks to equip schools with the tools they need to design and print yearbooks for less. You design the yearbook, we print it, and any money you earn goes  directly towards funding new classroom technology.  Sign  up and get started.

Build Your Yearbook Online for Less The setup is easy, the printing is inexpensive, and it’s a great way to fund for technology in the classroom. Yearbooks start at $8.49 for the first 20 pages, which also includes 4 free customizable pages per student and a free online version. The online editor uses simplified drag and drop technology, so even the youngest students can participate in capturing their memories. It is great for small rural schools because there is no minimum amount for orders, and there is only a 3-week printing turnaround. Digital Wish’s blog has a great primer on running a yearbook club in your school, as well as tips for teaching graphic design. It’s easy to stay ahead of the year-end rush with our step-by-step yearbook how-to guide. Contest  Prizes All prize winners will receive a special “Cinco de Mayo” surprise box.

• Grand Prize: An iPad and an Olympus TOUGH TG-830 Digital Camera
• 2nd  Place: Free printed yearbooks for all yearbook club members (limit 30) and an Olympus TOUGH TG-830 Digital Camera
• 3rd  Place: An Olympus TOUGH TG-830 Digital Camera
• Top Honorable Mention photos: A Digital Camera Basics book.
