The New York Institute of Photography (NYIP) ran a back-to-school campaign to offer a free photography course to students in a bid to help foster or incite interest in photography. Nine different online courses were offered by NYIP as a prize for the winner, and all users needed to do was send out a tweet, comment with their preferred course and enter their email.
Back-to-school can be a stressful time for students and parents alike with costs coming from all angles when it comes to getting ready to head back to class. As such, this promotion from NYIP for a free photography course helps to offer winners a way to stay educationally active on off hours and explore a rewarding hobby.
