Spillman Farmer Architects Employee, Kate Carter, Wins Instagram Photo ContestBethlehem, PA, Nov 13, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Kate Carter, one of SFA's own, received the top honor in a self-portrait contest on Instagram, a photo-sharing social media network. Her winning image, "Hope", is a poignant and personal self-portrait depicting Carter, hand-in-hand with her ailing grandmother. The competition, "Express Yourself," challenged Instagram users to submit creative, out-of-the-box self-portraits. The competition, which received 450 entries from around the world, was sponsored by Instagram Lovers Anonymous (IGLA) and KPCC, a public radio station operated by Southern California Public Radio (SCPR). The sponsors selected eight finalists, and Instagram users had 48 hours to vote for their favorites. As part of the top prize, Carter was interviewed by Grant Slater, photo and video editor for 89.3 KPCC radio station. In the interview, which aired Saturday, October 20th at 12:00 p.m. PST (3:00 p.m. EST), Carter discussed her winning self-portrait, as well as her efforts to integrate and leverage the use of mobile technology into the practice of architecture at Spillman Farmer Architects.
