Canon Park Contest: Deadline 30 September 2009
Canon launches fourth contest for U.S. national parks
Canon U.S.A. Inc., Lake Success, N.Y., encourages U.S. residents to visit their national parks and photograph their beauty with its fourth annual Canon Photography In The Parks Photo Contest. The contest invites photography enthusiasts, now through Sept. 30, to enter by submitting their "Inspirational Nature Images," the theme for this year's contest. Photos taken at any park or monument in America can be entered through the Canon Digital Learning Center web site. New this year, Canon will have two contest divisions for photographers between the ages of 13 and 17, and a separate division for adults ages 18 and older. This will enhance the contest experience by allowing aspiring teen photographers to compete amongst their peers.
"Through our Photography in the Parks Photo Contest, we have seen a great number of awe-inspiring outdoor images submitted from around the country. It is during these beautiful spring and summer months that we all should take the time to go outside and enjoy all that nature has to offer," says Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Canon U.S.A. "As an environmentally conscious organization, we encourage everyone to enjoy the beauty of nature, and work to protect it."
Winning photographers from the Photography in the Parks Photo Contest will receive some of Canon's best photographic equipment. Along with some of Canon's hottest equipment, the Grand Prize winner will receive a trip to a National Park.
As part of Canon's Parks Program, a team of photographers will be touring four National Parks from June through August. At each park, the Canon team will host free photography workshops and provide Canon's camera equipment for participants to use at no charge. Each class will teach various photography techniques and explore many of the camera functions as participants take a walking tour of the park.
