Olympus springs photo contest

Owners of most Olympus digital cameras have an opportunity to win a $100 gift certificate from the bytecam maker by entering its spring photo contest. The spring competition, which ends June 30, is open to all Olympus digital camera owners except those with an E-1 or E-3. Photogs who own E-1 and E-3 cameras are encouraged to join the camera maker's Elite Club, which runs contests for hotshots with those high-end models. According to the contest rules, submissions will be judged on originality (30%), photographic quality (30%), composition (30%), and comments submitted with the photo--the story behind the photo(10%). Three $100 American Express gift cards will be awarded to the winners of the photo bout. Shutterbugs can submit one photograph a month during the contest period, so Olympians who haven't entered the event yet have two shots left to win those prizes.
