MyWay Photo Contests: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day & Graduation

A reader wrote to me to let me know of a photo contest that he came across. This photo contest is a collaboration between Fujifilm and Rite Aid Pharmacy so you can expect some really generous prizes up for grabs!

There are three categories in this photo contest; Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Graduation. Actually, this seasonal photo contest began on 1st May, 2010 but I am lazy and only managed to post this up today. Anyway, fret not. If you are interested, this contest ends on June 26, 2010 at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time so there is still plenty of time.

This contest is only open to legal residents of the United States or the District of Columbia who are 18 years old or older. I wonder, because these are “people” photo contest, if the entrants are required to obtain release letters from their “models”.

Dodger’s Olympic Lodge Contest

While looking for Olympic freebies and contests, I came across this website called Dodger’s Olympic Lodge. It looks like a really fun site that kids and adults alike would be entertained.

Dodger’s is the bucktooth doggie [looks like a doggie to me] and he and his buddy, Phil, are running a photo contest. What you will need to do is to look for a photo of yourself playing sports. if you don’t have one, go take on! Then download Dodger’s and Phil artwork, and paste these images on your digital photo. This means that you have to decorate your photo with Dodger and Phil, sort of like create a story in a photo of you, Dodger and Phil.

Submit your photo online and stand a chance to win a prize. Contest ends 25th August 2008 and ten winners will be selected on 2nd September and announced on 3rrd September, 2008, on their website. And the prize? A SIGG aluminum water bottle retailed at $25 each.

The bad news… this contest is only available for Canadian residents under 16 years old and with parent’s or guardian’s consent.

I have written on quite a number of photography competitions but if memory serves me right, this is the first time I am featuring a photography contest that is open for children only.

This international photography contest for kids is organized by National Geographic Society so you can expect high quality entries. However, according to the website, this is an international contest but as far as I could see, this contest is open to residents of the United States, Canada and a handful of international countries. To view a full list of qualifying countries, click HERE.

I think that thus contest will serve as a great platform for children who are interested in photography, or aspiring to be professional photographers. I wished that there were such exciting contests for me when I was a kid!
