Hey photography fans – CameraArts Magazine is running their first photography contest on their CameraArts Blog site here. The theme for December will be “People & Portraits“. These are the rules (as quoted from an email that I got from them):

Only low res jpegs will be accepted, in color or black and white, digital or traditional. Every week during December, we will post the best submissions at http://cameraarts.blogspot.com.

During the first week of January, readers will have a chance to vote on their favorite entries. Three winners will be announced and each one will get a free one year subscription to CameraArts magazine.

Here’s the lowdown on rules and guidelines as published by CameraArts:

  • “Submissions: This month’s topic is “People and Portraits.” This theme is, as in all of our future contests, open to interpretation. Please email tgibbons@cameraarts.com with your entry, along with your name and medium used. Only one submission per person, please.
  • Judging: The best submissions will be posted on the CameraArts Blog (and collected on flickr.com) every Monday through January 1, after which the voting process will begin. Our prestigious jury consists of none other than our own readers here at The CameraArts Blog, FRAMES and CameraArts.com. Further details about the voting process will be released later this month. Expect to be able to cast your vote January 1, 2007, continuing through the first week.
  • Eligibility: The Monthly Photo Contest at The CameraArts Blog is open to any photographer, working in any medium. Photographers who have won in prior contests at The CameraArts Blog will not be eligible to enter. Naturally, the inaugural contest is an automatic exception.
  • Awards: Three photographers receiving the most votes will receive one free year’s subscription to CameraArts Magazine. If you already have a subscription, simply add the 6 issues for no cost.
  • Fee: There is no fee to enter.
  • Copyright info: We will watermark all images, so please DO NOT place copyright information directly on the image. All pertinent information should be included in your email. Applying for the contest implies permission for CameraArts to display submissions on Flickr, The CameraArts Blog, and CameraArts.com. CameraArts will have copyright on all submissions, as they appear on these pages. Applicants will retain all private rights to their images. While they are displayed on Flickr, your image will not be available for reproduction or download to anyone outside of CameraArts or the CameraArts Blog. All images will be watermarked “©CA/(photographer’s name).”
