I’m know that those of you on the far side of the pond can enter, but I’m not so sure about us stateside.

PRESS RELEASE

This year’s contest seeks images that explore the theme of music

Panasonic Marketing Europe is pleased to announce a call for entries for the eighth annual online LUMIX Award digital photo competition which takes place from October 26, 2009 until April 30, 2010. Under the theme of “Visualise  (shouldn’t that be ‘Visualize’?  I wonder who does Panasonic’s proof reading, and how to apply for that job…) Music,” digital photographers are invited to submit each month one digital image that best captures the moment when music, whether through the sound of an instrument or every day life, impacts our visual senses.

“We hope that the LUMIX Award will encourage digital photographers to use their creativity and show us through their photos how an invisible condition such as music can be visualized,” explains Sven Dabelstein, Senior Manager Product Marketing, Optical Products, Panasonic Marketing Europe.

The digital photography competition is open for six months from November 2009 until April 2010. Each month, a winner will be chosen and awarded a LUMIX DMC-ZX1 – the latest digital compact camera from Panasonic. The overall winner of the LUMIX Award competition – for the single best digital photo – will win a LUMIX DMC-GF1, the worlds smallest and lightest interchangeable lens system camera from Panasonic along with tickets to see the Blue Man Group. Two runner-ups will each receive a LUMIX DMC-FZ38 digital camera. All submitted digital photographs will be reviewed and judged by an independent panel of professional photographers and creative directors.

Established in 2002, the LUMIX Award is a European-wide online competition aimed at promoting creativity in digital photography and establishing an interactive platform for digital photographers to share their work. Each year’s competition centres on a different creative theme.
