What is Blink Connects 2019 about?

It is a video and photo portfolio review, part of the important Creative Community Service that Blink strongly believes in, and will be free for all participants. This year, we are proud to team up with the International Women’s Media Foundation to offer additional advice on crucial skill sets that creators might need in the ever evolving marketplace.
