thumbs img 8619 2 Vote for my photo please!Please help send me (all expenses paid by the con­test spon­sors) to one of four scenic national parks to take pho­tos and receive instruc­tion from four dif­fer­ent pro­fes­sional pho­tog­ra­phers. There is less than 45 hours left in the con­test so be sure to vote for my photo before 2pm EST on Fri­day, Sep­tem­ber 5th. This is the first of four chances to win one of four spaces at these work­shops so if my photo doesn’t hap­pen to win this time (from the pool of almost 3,000),  I do plan to enter dif­fer­ent pho­tographs in the other con­tests. Your votes are very much appre­ci­ated. Thank you to all who have and will vote for my photos!

UPDATE: Final sub­mis­sion total for this con­test was 4,101 pho­tos. Thanks to all who voted.

Aperture Nature Photography Workshops Contest

August 28th, 2008
Aperture Nature Photography Workshops Contest

This Week in Pho­tog­ra­phy is spon­sor­ing a new con­test (in addi­tion to their bi-weekly assign­ments) where sev­eral ama­teur pho­tog­ra­phers will get the chance to go to four dif­fer­ent US national parks (Olympic, Tetons, Yosemite and Yel­low­stone) and receive train­ing and tips from pro­fes­sional pho­tog­ra­phers. They are hold­ing four dif­fer­ent con­tests and the first has only one week left for sub­mis­sions. My dad went to Yosemite one sum­mer on vaca­tion and I would love to go not only for the beau­ti­ful scenery but also for the chance to receive instruc­tion from some very tal­ented artists. I have just put up a vot­ing wid­get in my side­bar so vote for my photo if you think it is worth your vote and also check out the other sub­mis­sions. There are a lot of really well made pho­tographs sub­mit­ted already so it looks as though a lot of peo­ple are as excited about this oppor­tu­nity in the same way that I am.

UPDATE: Vot­ing is now closed. Thank you to all who voted for my photo.
