I have been asked to judge a competition. I always like being asked to judge things, it makes me feel, well, important. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen but nonetheless I am judging a photography competition.
JustSouthAfrica.co.za is hosting a competition.
From the site:
Finding South Africas best photos. Submit your photos, 5 judges will evaluate them and all nominees can use the nominated badge on their website. Monthly winners can add their winning badges and get their winning photo printed on canvass.
First Prize 900 x 600 print on canvas,
Second Prize 600 x400 canvas print
Third Prize 400 x 300 print.
As many of you know I set up an SA Rocks Flickr group a while back. The response to that group has been quite impressive. The group has amassed over 3000 photographs of incredible quality. So if you are interested in taking part simply visit justsouthafrica.co.za and get registered and going.
As the blurb above states, five judges will all login and vote on the photographs as they are uploaded. The prizes are pretty good if you ask me and will look fantastic on your wall if you win. So get snapping.
And just for some motivation here are some photographs that I’ve taken in the past while studying photography at Rhodes University:

Nice concept, @Guy please consider leaving the watermarks out the images, really doesn’t look great – or make it lighter and non noticeable eg: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gregorrohrig/2821042254

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Cheers
