CLEVELAND–(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lake Erie Living magazine announces the launch of
the 2008 Lake Erie Living Photo Contest. Amateur photographers are encouraged
to head to the shores of Lake Erie to visually capture the beauty, activities
, and lifestyle of the lake and enter their photographs for a chance to win
prizes, including a Nikon D40x with 18-55mm lens, from Lake Erie Living
magazine. The deadline for photograph submissions is September 12, 2008.
Amateur photographers may submit up to three previously unpublished
photographs, taken in the last three years, and captured somewhere within a
30-mile radius of Lake Erie (both the U.S. and Canadian side of the lake).
The three contest categories are drawn from those subjects of special
interest to Lake Erie Living magazine: (1) Nature and Wildlife (2)
Architecture and the Man-Made Environment and (3) People.
According to Lake Erie Living Travel Editor Laura Blake, “Our readers enjoy
Lake Erie in many unique ways. This contest allows us to catch a glimpse of
their Lake Erie and further exposes the greatness and beauty of the region
for everyone to see."
In October, a team of judges will select winners from 30 finalists, 10 for
each of the three categories. The grand-prize and category award winners will
be announced in the December/January issue of Lake Erie Living magazine and
on http://photogreatplace.com/sony/ A selection of images from finalists may
also appear in a Lake Erie Living calendar, the Lake Erie Travel Guide and
future issues of Lake Erie Living. Contest rules, prize details, and entry
instructions are accessible at http://photocontest.lakeerieliving.com/ and in
the current issue of Lake Erie
Living now on newsstands.
