Upcoming Changes to Photo Comp

Posted: October 14, 2011 | Author: Simon @ the heart of food | Filed under: Competition, Photography Exhibition | 1 Comment »

Hi!

I just wanted to give you all a heads up regarding some changes that we’re seeing to to improve the nature of the photography competition.

Whilst we’re not in a position as of yet to give you the full details regarding the changes as they’re still to be finalised, what I can confirm for the moment is:

The deadline for entries has been extended beyond this evening to sometime early November (specific date to be announced soon).
The conditions of entry will remain pretty much the same, so all current entries are still valid.
In the unlikely event that the conditions of entries changes, anyone who has already made a submission will be given the option to change their submission.

Sincere apologies to anyone that has been inconvenienced by the last minute change to the photo comp. If everything goes to plan, the changes should be well worth the inconvenience.

Regarding the questions of judges on the judging panel, whilst that too is to be finalised, I can confirm that one of the judges is Quentin Jones; a veteran photographer for Fairfax Media currently shooting for SMH, specialising in food & lifestyle photography. He is also the person kindly donating his time to conduct the food photography workshop at the conference.

You can check out his portfolio at ink stain media.

On behalf of the organising committee, it is my pleasure to announce the Eat. Drink. Blog. 2011 Photography Competition.

Eat. Drink. Blog. 2011 Photography Competition

The competition will give the Australian food blogging community the opportunity to showcase some of their best photographic work over the past year.

A small panel of professional food photographers will judge all entries and select the top 15 entries as finalists. The finalist entries will be printed and put on display at a small photo exhibition to be hosted at Bitton Gourmet.

Once the judges have selected the finalists, the competition will be split into two main streams – the Impact Award selected by the judging panel, and a Community Award selected by popular vote from the blogging community, readers and the general public.

Eat. Drink. Blog. Media Hub

The Eat. Drink. Blog. Media Hub has been setup as the central HQ for all multimedia content from the conference, and associated events such as the photography competition and photo exhibition.

Below is a quick orientation of the Media Hub gallery. Click on the image for a full-sized version.

Competition Entry Details

The competition entry page, which can be accessed via the menu bar of the Media Hub (top right) or via this link, has all the details regarding the entry conditions.

Submissions for the competition will close Friday 14th October. The finalists will be announced in the following week and voting for the Community Award will commence soon afterward. More details will be made available once the finalists are announced.

A big thanks to our photo competition and exhibition partners Impact Communications and Bitton Gourmet.

I look forward to seeing all your wonderful entries!
