List members who have been around for any period of time, know I set goals
and encourage others to do the same. One of my goals for this year is to
submit an entry in a national photography competition each month. So this
year
I've entered a competition sponsored by the Advertising Photographers of
America - Los Angeles, Islands Magazine and this afternoon I sent my entry to
the
Agfanet "Close up" competition (guess that one is an international contest).
Having the goal, has me staying in action.
The Advertising Photographers contest, called Vision Quest, awarded 9
prizes. There were three Grand Prizes in each of three categories (people,
places
and imagination) and two honorable mentions in each category. One of my
entries was awarded an honorable mention in the "Imagination" category. The
nine
images can been seen at apa-la.org for those interested in seeing what won.
The Agfanet.com competition was something I heard about from a list member
in one of his postings. My request is that as people become aware of
competitions, they let the list know. For me it is a motivating device and I
am now
sitting flat footed with no competition to enter for April. I will find
something and this might be good information to share on this site. It would
be
nice to see some winners who were using something other than Nik*n, Can*n or
digital, although I shoot digital. My entry in the Islands competition was
film.
So, there you have it. Goal setting, horn tooting and a request. Bill Barber
