Contests: August 2008 Archives
If you'd like to socialize with other photographers in your locale and tap into an opportunity to win valuable prizes to boot, you might want to join the more than 5000 shutterbugs who have already signed up for Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk to be held Saturday, August 23.
The walks are being organized to promote Kelby's book The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers scheduled to be released next month by New Riders Press.
Registration for the event is free and open to all photographers--both amateur and professional--although the walks are limited to 50 participants in each city. So far, 5500 photographers from 241 cities in 43 countries have signed up for the event.
A bundle of goodies valued at more than $5,000 will be awarded for the best single overall photo taken from all the walk locations around the world. In addition, the shooters of the best photos of the day chosen by the local leaders of the walks will receive a free copy of Kelby's book.
The walks take about two hours and their routes are usually designed to end at a local imbibery so not only will you be able to snap pics with your new shutter buddies but bend an elbow with them, too.
