Winners — USA Net Character Project Prize Pack

Janice J. (100), Tanya Wilson (110) and Linda Moeller (113) are the secondary winners.
USA Network announces the launch of Character Project, an ongoing artistic initiative to celebrate the extraordinary people, from all walks of life, who make this country unique. Inspired by USA’s iconic “Characters Welcome” brand, and with the support of the not-for-profit photography organization Aperture Foundation, USA assembled a team of 11 world-class photographers to capture the character of America during the summer of 2008. The artists’ work is showcased in the powerful photography book entitled American Character: A Photographic Journey (Chronicle Books), which features a foreword by best-selling author and former “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Brokaw.
American Character features the work of legendary artists Mary Ellen Mark and Sylvia Plachy as well as Dawoud Bey, Jeff Dunas, David Eustace, Eric Ogden and emerging talents Marla Rutherford, Anna Mia Davidson, Joe Fornabaio, Eric McNatt and Richard Renaldi. Each photographer provides a provocative perspective on our nation’s most compelling characters. From high school football players in Brownwood, Texas and organic farmers in the Northwest, to residents of Alaska, famous left-of-center musicians and the people connected by a single transcontinental road, the book celebrates the distinct characters and varied pockets of life that make our country great.
I would like to contact the people who nominate someone as a photographer for your project. My sister is an unassuming but gifted photographer, the sole employee of the University of Alaska video department producing videos she got the job after being the first woman skiff driver on fishing boats in Alaska. Her work has been featured on many national magazines, when the World’s Most Dangerous Catch was being filmed she was on assignment shooting the same crew, she has displayed her work at a photography exhibit after been recognized as one of the top photographers in Alaska.
I recommend this not because she needs this but her independent, respectful woman of 54 still has her young looks (even her brother can say that) and boundless energy. I’m the Type “A” one so I am asking for her. If you would be so kind to help me find the producers or casting director I’d happily connect them.
Thank you very much
