CT Wedding Photographer Val Nanovsky

Hi everyone,

Just like last year, we are putting together an Earth Day Landscape Photo Contest, and this year it is getting even bigger!

April 22 is the official Earth Day, and all that counts is your participation. You don’t need to be a pro or even an avid enthusiast to participate. Valdorama encourages EVERYONE to take part. It’s FUN and it’s EASY (just email me your photos). It will be a wonderful opportunity to raise more awareness about what is happening to our planet – especially in the light of the nuclear tragedy in Japan. By sharing our images  we’ll generate more appreciation and show everybody how beautiful our planet is.

The winner will be getting a Valdorama GREEN artistic outdoor portrait session – for you, your loved ones, your kids, family or friends! The best part: it’s ON ME!

HERE’S HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS:

* There is no charge to participate. The contest is open and FREE to all residents of Connecticut (CT), Massachusetts (MA),  NYC and Rhode Island (RI);

* Send your images to valdoramaphoto@yahoo.com 
The subject should be “Earth Day Photo Contest”;

* You can submit up to 3 (three) landscape photographs;

* You need to be the author of the photo and be able to prove authorship;

* Images should depict wild places with no traces of human activity. Flora and fauna are acceptable, as long as the subject is wild, and not domesticated;

* There are NO constraints as to which season / which year your images are taken – give me your best shots of all time;

* Physical size – up to 1024 x 768 px, @72 dpi;

* It is OK to watermark your images should you feel the need for that;

* Images will be judged based on 4 main factors:

1. Originality,
2. Impact,

4. Technical execution;

* Results will be announced on this blog on Tuesday, April 26th;

* This year we’ll be having ALL HONORABLE MENTIONS ONLINE displayed in a gallery on this blog, along with the winners
(make sure you are OK with having your images posted online before submitting);
