Photoshelter launches first annual student photo contest
PhotoShelter, a marketplace for photographers to market their stock photography, has announced the launch of its first annual student photo competition open to all full-time college and university students. The competition entitled Elevation 2008 is focused on finding the next generation of professional photographers and providing the opportunity to gain exposure to some of the most influential and discriminating eyes in publishing including judges from the New York Times, Newsweek, Spin, The Fader & Nylon.
Five grand prize winners will receive a comprehensive package to kick start their careers, including a custom 11x14 portfolio with name embossed, courtesy of Brewer-Cantelmo, 30 free portfolio quality prints from AdoramaPix, and 100 promo cards designed and printed by SB Design. Winners will also receive a one-on-one portfolio review with a PhotoShelter Editor, and a 3-month free PhotoShelter Personal Archive Standard Account for help with image storage, protection, and sales (a $90 value).
“For a young up-and-coming photographer interested in making professional photography a career, having their work reviewed by our panel of distinguished judges is a unique opportunity. A professionally-developed portfolio and industry exposure are things that many accomplished professional photographers wish they could have enjoyed while still in school,” said Meagan Ziegler-Haynes, Director of Photography of PhotoShelter Inc. “One of the most exciting aspects of the PhotoShelter Collection is to discover and recognize the work of young and developing talent. We’re all looking forward to finding the newest generation of photography greats.”
