In keeping with their mission to bring you the best of all things photographic, FotoWeek DC and The Newseum have launched "fotobamaweek", an international photography contest celebrating the presidential campaign and the inauguration of Barack Obama.
Amateur and professional photographers anywhere in the world are invited to enter this contest. You may not have had a front row seat to the swearing-in ceremony, but what about that impromptu moment captured at a campaign rally, or election night at your own private party? Iconic impressions are yours for the taking, wherever you are, here or abroad. Enter photos taken with digital, film or even cell-phone cameras, but please submit them electronically. Here's what's in store for the best of the pictures:
- The top-100 winning images, selected by The Newseum's judges, will be exhibited at The Newseum;
- All top-100 winning images will be published in a limited edition book sponsored by FotoWeek DC;
- Grand prize winners will be announced at a reception at The Newseum;
- Cash prizes totaling $5,000 will be awarded; and,
- All images submitted will be on display at FotoWeek DC's on-line gallery, along with People's Choice winners.
