September Contests from Lenzr Will Challenge Photographers
September brings a pair of photo contests that promise to satisfy any challenge-starved photographers. Though the topics are wildly different, they both require a professional and innovative approach.
Remember: both of the following contest will end on September 25, 2011.
Classy Summer Drinks
A good photographer can stir the emotions of his or her audience. Sometimes they elevate our souls with their work, and sometimes they tempt us with shots of ridiculously good-looking food.
At the height of summer, the photo of a delicious drink can be a siren call to weary travellers. Lenzr’s newest contest, Classy Summer Drinks, asks photographers to shoot an irresistible drink under summertime conditions.
The sponsor of this contest, an online seller of stainless steel ice cube trays, will award the winner a package of stainless steel containers. What’s more, the winner will be able to customize the contents of their package by browsing the sponsor’s catalogue.
A Manufacturing Process
Ever since Marx began talking about the alienation of labour, people have become increasingly wary of the origin of manufactured products. With the recent surge of interest in CSR, eco friendliness, and free trade, consumers are more vigilant than ever about how their products are made. Even so, few people have seen an assembly line at work, let alone stood beside one.
Lenzr’s next contest, A Manufacturing Process, wants photographers to provide an exclusive glimpse into the manufacturing process. More precisely, it’s asking for photos of machines performing some sort of manufacturing task.
The main purpose of this contest is to find images for the sponsor’s website. Solarsoft will enter a $250 licensing agreement with the winner, and a $75 licensing agreement with three other runners-up. As an added bonus, Solarsoft may feature the winning photos on their site, though they are not obligated to do so. Solarsoft is an expert in ERP, and photos from the contest are intended for their pages on process manufacturing and lean manufacturing.
These contests are already open, so make sure to submit your photos soon! For both contests, voting to determine the Top Ten photos will begin on September 15th, 2011 and last until Sept. 25th. On Sept. 25th, the Top Ten photos in each contest will advance to a panel of judges, and the winning photos will be announced on Oct. 1st, 2011.
There’s a potpourri of prestigious prizes to be won in eight different competitions on Lenzr. The five challenges that launched earlier in October features prizes like Apple iPads, soy based cosmetics, and even a red electric snow blower - this month’s sponsors include erp software, designer swimwear and a beauty school and they’re suddenly as cool as a well digger’s foot.
