Expose Your World - Australian photo competition

Expose Your World - Australian photo competition
by Photo Competitions
Deadline: July 25th, 2008
The focus of this year's expanded competition is travel with winners
sharing more than $70,000 worth of prizes from major sponsors
including Abercrombie & Kent, Tarraleah Lodge, Nikon, SanDisk,
AsukaBook, Asus and Vibe hotels. As well as a bigger prize pool, we've
extended the opportunities for photographers – both professional and
amateur – to be recognised for their exceptional work.

Finalists in all categories will also be part of an end of year
winners' exhibition with photos and video presented by Pixel Perfect
Prolab. A selection of the winners' images and stories will feature in
the Australian Traveller magazine, be displayed in the stunning
RovingEye coffeetable book by Asukabook and have the opportunity to be
represented by RovingEye.

Winners this year will vie for two magnificent experiences from
Abercrombie & Kent and Tarraleah Lodge in Tasmania. The winner of the
newly introduced Single Shot category will take part in a
trip-of-a-lifetime with A&Ks Turtle Rescue program, a seven day 5-star
experience in Queensland's Cape York region. The Lodge at Tarraleah
has just recently been voted one of the 65 top new resorts by Conde
Nast UK. The winner of the Photo Essay category will not only take
home the sensational Nikon D300 DSLR but will spend five nights, all
inclusive, lapping up the luxurious surrounds set in the heart of
Tasmania's wilderness area.

RovingEye believes in encouraging new talent and supporting the
industry and the search for Young Australian Photographer of the Year
does just that. The overall winner will take home a Nikon D60 DSLR
with an AF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G ED II lens. The winner will choose a
Vibe hotel in any Australian capital city to spend five nights
shooting the urban life of the city, which will be feature in the
Australian Traveller magazine. To be judged by Alan Davies, the
curator of the State Library of NSW, this is the ideal opportunity to
be seen and judged by the best, to fast-track a young career and to be
part of this exclusive community of winners.

RovingEye's 2008 Expose your World photo competition is setting new
benchmarks in providing opportunities to profile the works of known
photographers and unearthing new talent both here and around the
globe. It's a company on the move, and it wants to take as many
talented photographers, writers and filmmakers along with them for the
ride!
