The Islamic Food And Nutrition Council of America has got something cooking! And since it's by courtesy of IFANCA, "the leading Halal-food certification organization in North America", you know it will be a halal ordeal!
IFANCA is planning to shoot one or all of the following: a television, radio, internet ad campaign this June! Thus, they are currently recruiting Muslim Volunteers to act in the advertisement.
Have you got what it takes to be the face of IFANCA? Do you want to be part of a halal endeavor in America? If so, send all the requested items in before the mid-May deadline. Details below.
Here's what IFANCA wants: In order to be part of this ad campaign, send your photos, with names and ages and an adult’s contact information, at media@ifanca.org. Alternatively, photos can also be mailed to Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America’s Media Department at 5901 N. Cicero Ave., Suite 309, Chicago, IL 60646. Parents of all minors should send the photos with signed permission notes. Photos sent by minors without a parental permission letter will not be accepted. The deadline is May 15th, 2010.
The ad will be shot in the big city of Chicago, only a four hour drive from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Most Muslim Michiganders have extended family in Chicago anyway and can use this trip as an excuse to visit.
While you're there, be sure and give a sincere 'Salaam!' to the Chicago Islam Examiner, Qasim Rashid.
