 As if you needed a reason to travel the world with your camera, CITY Magazine just extended its deadline for its One City, Many Destinations travel photography competition to July 31st (tomorrow!). The competition calls for submissions from both amateur and professional photographers from around the world. The objective: choose an image which best captures the essence of a city.
The winning image will be chosen by a jury of six internationally renowned photography and travel aficionados to appear on the cover of CITY’s Fall 2007 travel issue. The grand prize also includes the Leica M8 camera and lens, a four-day stay at any W Hotel in North America, two round-trip Continental Airlines tickets, and a $500 gift certificate to Calumet Photographic.
But you don’t have to win the grand prize to get your own share of fame. The photos of 16 finalists will also appear in a special travel photography portfolio inside the issue. Additionally, 15 runners-up will receive a Leica C-LUX 2 compact camera.
Covering all the best in travel, fashion, design, food and city life, CITY Magazine is world renowned for its cutting-edge photography and editorial coverage. Check out the CITY Magazine Web site at www.city-magazine.com and submit your work on its photo contest page. But make sure it’s in before 11:59 p.m. EST tomorrow!
Make that three to be exact. But they all add up to one thing: sweet, sweet exposure.

I'm feeling nostalgic for the good old days -- when I suffered through classes in alternative processes.
I didn't get such a good grade for my efforts since I used the same exact image for my Cyanotype and VanDyke prints. I told my professor that I wanted to see how the printing process changed the quality of the image but he saw through my laziness and brought down my GPA.
But why am I telling you this?
I have been inspired by SOHO Photo's Second Annual Alternative Processes Competition. 25-30 photographers will exhibit their winning entries in a group show at the Soho Photo Gallery in NYC from May 2 - June 3.

Entries must be received by March 10. Submit your work on 35mm Slides or Cd's. You are allowed to enter 4 images. The cost is $35. Download a prospectus.

 __Popular Photography magazine has a new contest for college photography students. The contest is free to enter, entries are via email and a Sony digital camera is to be given away to a winning photographer each week from December through May.
I just took a look at the entries they've received so far and I'm here to tell ya... regular readers of this blog could clean up in this thing, as many of the entries that I saw weren't all that, um... enthralling (the image I've posted here was one of the better ones, in my estimation).
One drawback is that, according to the rules, PopPhoto retains the rights to the images you submit, so beware of submitting your very best stuff.
So, go to http://www.PopPhoto.com and check it out. You could win a camera to take on a Spring Break trip!
Blind Lady © Donna Todd of Melbourne, Australia won first prize for b&w in the 2005 Singular Image competition.

Submissions include up to 10 slides or prints (that can fit into a 9"x12" envelope) for each category and a print out of the completed entry form.
Fame doesn't come cheap: $35 for up to 4 slides or prints. Additional images to a maximum of 10 are $5 each.
The postmarked deadline is December 1, 2005. Good luck!
