Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Scoop Launches All Black Supporters Photo Gallery
...Scoop Interactive...
Inspired by the picture of Jonah now adorning Scoop’s front page - submitted by an ardent expatriate Jonah fan - Scoop has decided to run an interactive Scoop campaign in support of the All Blacks World Cup bid.
From today through till November 6th Scoop will – unless we get a particularly nice picture of Cate Blanchett in Lambton Quay – publish only All Black and All Black fan pictures on its front page.
However, for this to happen we need the pictures.
And so Scoop wants you – and we know you know an All Black fan even if you aren’t one yourself – horror, horror – to send us the pictures.
These can be either of yourselves made up as All Black fans - you will need to at least be holding a flag - or pictures photographs, paintings of your favourite All Blacks. Pictures can be accompanied by a short message to the team.
Smaller Scoops are invited to draw us pictures of their favourite All Black heros and submit those. Parents will have to handle the technical aspects.
We would appreciate not receiving files over 1 megabyte and to be eligible submissions must be in JPEG or GIF format and sent by email to editor@scoop.co.nz.
Scoop will endeavour to publish as many of the pictures it receives as possible.
For those stumped by the technical complexities of putting a photo on a computer you will probably find that your local photo shop has a scanner and will scan an image for you for a small fee.
