I choose not to use facebook.  Can I enter this competition without joining facebook?

Hi Shane,

This particular competition is only available through Facebook however make sure you check out Canon's other competitions - Photochains and 1Wall. Also the Photo5 competition will take place later in the year. For more details go to Canon's World of EOS page: www.canon.com.au/worldofeos  

Is this a photography competition, or a popularity contest? Since there is no judging, the winner is decided solely on the number of "friends" they have, and how well they can promote their own image. I predict blurry, very poorly composed shots will do much better than sharp, well lit and properly composed photos. After all, it's not about the photography, it's all about being popular.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your feedback on the voting mechanics. Allowing the community to decide a winner for this competition gives a chance for fans and enthusiasts to tell us what they think stands out, while the other two competitions on the Facebook page (World Press Photo and Photos 1440) have judges choice winners in addition to public voting. I hope this helps!

Hi I was wondering if you can help me.

I have lost the magazine out of my batterypack on my 400D. I cant find a place to order/buy a replacement Battery Pack magazine I sent an email to a place at the Gold Coast and the person at the other end told me they dont sell books!!!!  Surely there is a place that has staff that know their stock somewhere????. I live in Brisbane.

regards

Leigh

Hi Leigh,

I would suggest giving Canon Customer Service a call. They should be able to tell you where you will be able to find a battery pack. Their number is: 13 13 83. Hope this helps.

It is a "festival of how many friends you have on facebook" and absolutely nothing to do with photography or image making.
