Hey, you talented shutterbugs of the Photography Group...

I just wanted to let you all know about a contest which arrived in my email inbox. Olympus is sponsoring a photo contest, with six categories, and the grand prize of a camera and 1,000,000 ¥ (9K in US dollars)!


How to Enter

Only online entries will be eligible.
Enter from the Categories section.
*Anyone submitting an entry is asked to register a username.

Number of Entries

Each entrant may submit up to 5 photo entries for each category.
Each image must be in JPEG or JPG format, and be 15 megabytes or smaller.

Schedule

Entry: 11:00 Monday, November 27, 2017 to
15:59 Monday, February 26, 2018 -- times are Japan Standard Time (GMT +9)
Winners Announced: June 2018
It is possible that registration and entry processing may slow down drastically during the final hours of the entry period due to a rush of last-minute entries. To avoid missing the deadline due to this possible slowdown, please complete registration and photo entry as early as possible. The Olympus Global Open Photo Contest Operations Team cannot provide assistance to those entrants whose entries did not get processed prior to the deadline due to system slowdown or error.

I wonder how something like this can be fairly judged. So many entries already! Many very good ones.
