It’s that time of year again, when you get to unleash your imagination, creativity and passion for the chance to win amazing prizes and, most importantly, eternal glory.
Yes, the EOS Photo5 competition is kicking off again, with registrations now open. For those of you who don’t know, the EOS Photo5 competition is in its third year and is based on a creative brief centred around five objects in a box sent to registered participants. Those taking part transform these objects through photography into inspiring images and upload them to the Photo5 site. This year, the competition is bigger, better and more challenging than ever before - the rules have changed, the prizes have changed, the briefs have changed and the level of difficulty has definitely changed!
Without giving too much away, I can let you know that those taking part will be tasked with not just shooting the EOS Photo5 object, but also incorporating a specific creative photography technique.
For the first time, EOS Photo5 will also run in New Zealand making it possible for Kiwis with a creative flare to have a go. Another exciting change to this competition is the inclusion of an ‘open brief’ meaning that people who miss out on receiving a box can still enter - now there is no limit for how many Australians and New Zealanders can get involved.
So, if you’re keen to let your photographic brilliance dazzle us all, then make sure you get in quick and register for the competition at http://www.canon.com.au/worldOfEos/photo5/. Boxes are limited so people should register as soon as they can. Registration is free. Winners will be announced on November 23, 2009. Every winner (five in total) receives an EOS 5D Mark II Premium Kit (with EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM) and a trip to Queensland, hosted by professional adventure photographer Chris Bray.
Here on the blog, we’ll be posting EOS Photo5 news and information, as well as connecting you to other Australian blogs discussing Canon EOS Photo5 so you can hear what they’re saying. Stay tuned!
