What
is a photo marathon?
A photo
marathon is a photography competition with a twist. Participants
meet at a set time at a set location. When the competition starts,
6 themes will be announced, and competitors will then have the next
6 hours to best interpret those themes with their digital cameras.
The interpretation of the themes is left to each participant. The
idea is to be creative, spontaneous, and have fun.
Photo
marathons have been popular around the world for many years. Anyone
may participate. All you need is a digital camera and some creative
thinking.
The
Rotary Club of Edmonds is hosting this unique competition for all
area photographers. All photos are to be taken in Edmonds during
the competition. No prior photos accepted.
This
is a contest of expression and capturing images that best express
a theme in the time allotted. All submissions will be posted on
this web site, and special recognition and prizes will be given
to the top photographers for each theme.
Registration
fee is $30 per entry.
- Registration
begins at 9:00 am.
- The
photo marathon starts at 10:00 am.
- All
photos must be submitted no later than 4:00 pm.
This
is a digital only event! Photographers can shoot as many images
as they want. All photographers must submit their 6 photos on a
jump drive (thumbdrive), a CD, a digital memory card, or by email.
Photos
must be turned in with your 6 final entries in the order they appear
on the theme sheet, or clearly labeled. Information will be provided at registration
about where and when memory cards may be picked up at a later date.
Prizes
will be given to the winners in each category, and one grand prize
overall.
