Local broadcaster KPCR 92.9 Los Gatos—AKA Pirate Cat Radio—is looking for three community members to model station merchandise and represent KPCR at the Los Gatos Wine Walk on April 25.
“If anyone has told you that you have a face for radio, this is your chance to prove them wrong,” said Station Manager Daniel Roberts in a release. “Selected models will wear KPCR apparel at the station’s Wine Walk booth, interact with attendees, and take part in a professional photo shoot.”
In exchange, participants will receive KPCR merchandise, concert tickets and complimentary hair and makeup from Beauté Bar, located at 191 Saratoga-Los Gatos Rd.
“Collaboration is how real communities are built,” said Ofelia, proprietor of Beauté Bar who hosts The Ofeefee Show. “When we connect face-to-face, you feel the heart, the passion, and the story behind each business, and that’s what people truly connect to.”
The call is open to anyone comfortable in a public-facing setting who is available on April 25. Backgrounds in modeling, radio or events are not required.
Applicants are asked to send a photo and a short note explaining why they’d make a great model to in**@**cr.org.
Cal Academy of Sciences mobilizes nature photogs
City Nature Challenge, the largest annual biodiversity census in the world, returns for its 11th year of connecting people through local nature and their communities.
From participating in organized biodiversity surveys to recording neighborhood wildlife, City Nature Challenge encourages community scientists of all levels to explore their local environment—all while contributing to biodiversity science and conservation.
Identification of photographed species will be crowdsourced through the online community, with results announced on May 13.
How to participate: Photos and sound recordings of any wild plant, animal, fungus, slime mold, or other evidence of life (scat, fur, tracks, shells, etc.) can be uploaded to the iNaturalist app or website, where a global community of naturalists confirms identifications. Wildlife can be found anywhere: homes, neighborhoods, backyards, and beyond.
The Center for Biodiversity and Community Science (CBCS) at the California Academy of Sciences co-leads the Global City Nature Challenge with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
