PHOTO DISTRICT NEWS AND KODAK LAUNCH ANIMAL PHOTO CONTEST TO BENEFIT ANIMAL WELFARE GROUPS
Photo District News (PDN) and Kodak have launched the Best Friends: The Ultimate Animal Photo Contest, which celebrates the art of pet and animal photography while also raising money to help endangered and mistreated animals throughout the world. The contest is now accepting paid online submissions from amateur photographers, with part of the proceeds going to three animal and wildlife protection groups.
Participants are invited to log on to www.bestfriendsphotocontest.com and submit their photos for any of four categories: Domestic Animals, Wildlife Animals, My Pet and Me, and Animal Humor. A portion of each $12 entry fee will be donated to the contestant’s choice of one of three non-profit animal welfare groups: The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), Best Friends Animal Society, and Kids Saving the Rainforest.
Submissions will be accepted through Tuesday, December 22, 2009. Winners in each of the four categories will be selected by a panel of photography professionals. One Grand Prize winner and four other first place winners will receive selection of prizes from Kodak, including the new Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera; a Kodak ESP 5250 All-in-One printer; Kodak EasyShare Z980 Digital Cameras, and Kodak Professional Tri-X, T-Max or Portra film. Winners will also gain admission and exposure at the PDN PhotoPlus Expo 2010 in New York.
Contestants and non-contestants are also invited to log on and vote for the weekly “People’s Choice Award.” The photographer whose image earns the most “people’s choice” votes at the end of each week will win a PDN prize bag including ten Kodak Single Use Cameras and more. The winning photographer’s photo will also be published in our online gallery, along with the nine other winners.
