Create your own run/walk that represents or supports NMIFA’S AFC membership and/or NMIFA’S 15th anniversary.
This contest is open to all NMIFA-LITS GXM members who must record and screenshot their run/walk showing their representation.
The contest started on Dec. 14 and the last day to submit your entry is on Dec. 20. The judging will be held on Dec. 21 and winners will receive awesome prizes, organizers said.
