Enter the Discover America Photo Contest

Jan. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Got a great shot of a fabulous place in America—North, South or Central America? You do! Well, send it today to the 8th Annual "Discover America through Postcards" photo contest at http://www.postcardsfrom.com/contest/welcome.html

It doesn’t matter if you’re a rank amateur or a professional photographer—just that your image is scenic enough to entice a viewer to want to visit the location or at least learn more about it. That’s the point of the contest: to encourage people to discover the Americas.

Six finalists will be selected based on originality, composition and technical execution. Each of the images will be made into an e-postcard featured on the Postcards from America website (http://www.postcardsfrom.com) and emailed to thousands of subscribers who will vote for the best image. The contest is open to subscribers of Postcards from America. But don’t worry--the subscription is free and you can cancel any time. (Plus, your subscription gets you a ballot to vote for your own photo, if you so desire.)

The first finalist will be announced Tuesday January 18, 2011, and every Tuesday thereafter for five weeks, followed by a week of voting. The Grand Prize winner will be announced on  March 15, 2011, the Ides of March.

Enter today. Who knows? You might win the $100 Grand Prize and, unlike Julius Caesar, find the Ides of March a lucky day.

Entries are accepted until February 19, 2011.
