Barrie, Ontario, Canada, December 20, 2008 --(PR.com)-- PhotographyCorner.com (http://www.photographycorner.com) recently announced the 2008 Photograph of the Year contest, featuring nine, high-profile sponsors with over $11,500 in prizes to be won including a grand prize valued at $3,800. The contest is free to enter, with submissions accepted via email. Any photograph taken in 2008 is eligible to win if entered.
The PhotographyCorner.com 2008 Photograph of the Year marks the 3rd annual photograph of the year contest organized by the popular photography resources site. With over $11,500 in prizes available to be won, and with first prize alone valued at almost $4,000, the PhotographyCorner.com 2008 Photograph of the Year contest stands to be not only a fantastic venue for photographers to display their best work of the past year, but also a great platform for sponsors to promote their products and services to the photography community.
There are several things that set the contest apart from some of the other “Best of the Year” photography contests. Firstly, winners can be from anywhere in the world, not just limited to the US or Canada, making the contest truly a worldwide photography contest. In fact, their most recent contest winner was from Argentina, with other past winners from various places around the world including the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, Israel, Africa, Saudi Arabia and Sweden. In addition, instead of having a select group of judges pick a winner, the entire community will vote on every photograph, broken down in several rounds. With this unique voting process, every eligible submitted photograph is given a chance to win, not just a select few picked out by judges, giving the community complete power over which photographs are awarded “Best Photograph of 2008.”
In an interview about the Photograph of the Year contest, the owner and founder of PhotographyCorner.com, Tim L. Walker, expressed that "the excitement and unique features of this contest display exactly why PhotographyCorner is such a popular and unique home for photographers on the web. Anyone can enter the contest, and anyone can win. I don’t decide. A bunch of ‘professional’ judges don’t decide. The community decides. They’re the photographers – they should pick the winners." He continued by adding that “it’s encouraging to see such an amazing and diverse group of sponsors step up to reward and encourage photographers from around the world. With over $11,500 in prizes, the winners will add thousands of dollars worth of equipment, software and services to their arsenal, allowing them to further improve their photography – and that’s what it’s really all about. Photography enriches all of our lives in one way or another, and contests like this serve to improve the photography we see all around us every day.”
The 9 contest sponsors, including GetData.com, MyPicTales.com, ColorRight.com and SmugMug.com, have offered up an amazing collection of cash and prizes
