Today we’re excited to announce that Canon has launched its inaugural Canon EOS Festival of Photography which is set to become an annual feature for all of you who enjoy photography, creativity and being inspired!

The Festival runs for three months from 29 April to 1 August 2010 and comprises four exciting photographic events sponsored by Canon – Head On Festival; Canon AIPP Australian Professional Photography Awards (APPAs); World Press Photo (WPP); and ‘The Sydney Morning Herald Photos - 1440: A Day, a Minute, a Moment’ exhibition.

All four events bring together some of the world’s most creative and imaginative minds, celebrating the highest level of photographic excellence both nationally and globally!

We’ll be keeping you up to date with all the Festival news and events through this blog. All the details and elements of these four events will also be brought together on the EOS Page on Facebook, in a dedicated Festival tab, from May 24 onwards. This ‘Festival hub’ will feature information on a number of exciting photographic competitions themed around the various Festival events. By entering you’ll have the chance to win impressive prizes including the latest EOS camera gear and unique photographic opportunities. More details to come!
