The 2007 Angkor Photography Festival Flickr Contest PHOTOGRAPHY FOR CHANGE
Siem Reap, Cambodia. Nov. 18th – Nov. 28th 2007
As part of the 2007 Angkor Photography Festival we are holding another Flickr contest. Winners' work will be shown alongside the work of professionals during one of the evening projections in the Cambodian town of Siem Reap, near the famed Angkor Temples, and prizes will be awarded by a panel of judges.
The contest accepts all photographs about Asia―the Angkor Photography Festival is a center for Asian photographers as well as photographers with an interest in Asia, so for this year's contest we want you to submit photographs that are about Asia―the people, culture, arts, politics etc. The photographs do not have to be taken in Asia but must be connected in some way with the region.
The contest is only open to non-professional photographers. Anyone making more than 50% of their income from photography is considered a professional. If you are a professional photographer and wish to submit work to show at one of the festival’s exhibits and projections, please contact: angkorphoto@gmail.com
CONTEST RULES:
1). All images must be related to Asia, either photographed in Asia or about Asian culture around the world.
2). Enter up to 5 images total
3). Images entered in the 2006 contest will be rejected.
4). Work that has been digitally altered, or uses excessive Photoshopping will be rejected. Standard photojournalism darkroom corrections are acceptable.
5) All images must be available on your Flickr page at a minimum 1024 x 768 points (horizontal or vertical) at 72 dpi, suitable for projection. Any images that are too small will be rejected.
6). If possible, please be sure photographs have caption information: who, what, where, when & why. There are no restrictions on when the photographs were taken.
7). Photographs will be judged by a panel of judges including professional photographers, editors and journalists. Contestants will be notified before the festival if their work has been accepted. Prize winners will be announced the night of the projection in Siem Reap and the winners from both the singles and sets categories will receive copies of signed photography books by well known photographers (to be announced).
8). All photographs will remain the copyright of the photographer. However, if your work is selected for projection, you give permission to the Angkor Photography Festival to use your images for non-commercial promotional use, including both print media and internet/digital use by the Angkor Photography Festival.
9). DEADLINE: October 31st, 2007
