Hopefully nobody minds me advertising here but...
I work for Johns Hopkins University on a project for the U.S. Agency for International Development and we are holding a photography contest sponsored by Nikon. The contest is being held by Photoshare, a digital photo collection and service helping international non-profits communicate health and development issues through photography. The contest is for pictures illustrating the realities of urban and rural life in developing countries and the categories are:
- Family Planning and Reproductive Health
- HIV/AIDS Education, Treatment, and Prevention
- Environment
- Agricultural and Economic Development
- Democracy and Governance
- Humanitarian Assistance
- Open Category - Global Health
- Open Category - Human Interest
Participants may submit one photo per category.
Prizes are:
1st Place/Best of Show:
$300 USD
2nd Place:
$150 USD
3rd Place:
$75 USD
Photoshare Contributor of the Year:
Nikon 3.2Megapixel CoolPix 3700 Digital Camera with a 3X Zoom Lens, USB Interface, Audio/Video Output, Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, Nikon View Software, and 16MB SD memory card.

Matted and framed photo.
All category winners will receive a certificate. Winning photos and photographers will be featured at the INFO booth at the American Public Health Association (APHA) conference in Washington D.C., November 2004. Entries and winners will also be featured on the Photoshare and INFO websites, e-list, and promotional materials.
Contact David Alexander or Lavina Velasco, photoshare@infoforhealth.org, for an entry form or more information. Thanks. |

| I'm not running the contest so please don't take this as a definite but as far as I know email submissions are accepted. You will need an entry form by emailing photoshare@infoforhealth.org so, double check with them and also ask about size requirements of digital photos. |

| How about usage and copyrights? Does the photographer retain copyright and ability to own and relicense the photos, or by entering the contest, is the photographer granting the contest exclusive rights and/or copyright of the photo? |

| Once a photo is submitted - does it automatically give them rights to use it forever, for any purpose, without any payment to the photographer? |

Kavey, I'm checking to see if it's posted on a site first and if so I'll add the link here.
Zal, participants grant a royalty-free license to Photoshare which, if it's necesary in the future to do so, can be canceled in writing. |
