Today's the day!

Get your cameras out and start taking pictures, because Credit Union Journal's annual "Day in the Life of Credit Unions" project is finally here – and we want credit unions around the world to participate.

No one knows a credit union better than the people who work there. You know what makes it special, what makes it stand out and why it matters so much to your members – and Credit Union Journal has a chance for you to share that with the world.

For the last two decades, CU Journal has celebrated International Credit Union Day with one of our most popular features – “A Day in the Life of Credit Unions.” And this year we’re calling on credit unions across the globe to take part in the 21st edition of that project.

This year on Thursday, Sept. 20, get out your camera and start snapping photos. From the minute the first employees pull into the parking lot and unlock the doors to the end of the day when you’re taking out the trash or wiping down the counters on the teller line, we want to see it – an ordinary day in the life of your credit union.

All photos must be taken on Sept. 20 and must be sent in by 11:59 P.M. ET on Oct. 4. Please send high-resolution photos to ICUDay@sourcemedia.com, and be sure to include basic caption information such as the name of your CU, where you’re headquartered, where the photo was taken and a brief explanation of what the photo depicts.

We’ll select some of the best snapshots to be included in a special “Day in the Life of Credit Unions” slideshow that will be featured on our website in celebration of International Credit Union Day on Oct. 18.

The Day in the Life of Credit Unions project was conceived to highlight credit unions and all of the ways they help their members, so even though many credit unions will have all kinds of special events happening in their branches on ICU Day, the real "magic" is in the credit union difference, which happens every single day.

For more information, please contact Aaron Passman at aaron.passman@sourcemedia.com or 785-979-4218.
