2009
Get Snappin' Photo Contest
Begins July 2008

We will be having another photo contest for the 2009 Aboriginal History Calendar!

So buy some film - or get a memory card - and slap it in your camera and get snappin'.

Get out in the community and take some pictures that best capture the theme:

"Our People in Our Community"

 

Pick out your best ones and send them to Windspeaker.

Two photos will be selected and awarded $1,500 each.

Now that will buy a lot of film - heck - that will get you a new camera or two!

In addition, the two selected photos will also grace the 2007 Aboriginal History Calendar sponsored by Scotiabank and to be distributed in Windspeaker's December 2006 issue.

Now that's fame!

 

The fine print:

Entries may be colour slides or prints (no Polaroids, please), not larger than 8" X 10".

Subject of photos must be Aboriginal.

A maximum of four (4) photo entries per person.

Photographs that have been previously published or won a photographic award are NOT eligible.

By submitting the photo(s) you confirm that you are the exclusive rights holder of the photo(s).

Each entry must be labeled with the entrant's name. This information should be printed on the back of the photograph or on the slide frame (a grease pencil works best), or on an attached label.

Hint: To prevent damage, do not stamp or write heavily on the back of your prints. Package your entries carefully in a protective cardboard sleeve.

Entries must be accompanied by a list of the pictures enclosed. The list should include your full name, address and daytime phone number. Entrants under 18 must enclose permission of a parent/guardian.

Sorry, submitted entries and photos cannot be returned.

Windspeaker and Scotiabank are not responsible for lost or delayed entries.

There is a prize of $1,500 for each of the two photos selected. The selected winning photos shall become the property of Windspeaker.

Professionals and amateurs may enter.

Photographs will be judged on creativity and technical excellence and how they best capture the contest theme. A panel of judges will select the prize winners. Their decisions are final. Winners will be notified by phone.

Remember all entries must be RECEIVED
