Whose keen in photomarathon?

jacob · 5th March 2009

a quick thought came into my mind. so i better put up before i forget.

was thinking of a small scale F.U.N. photomarathon. something that is similar to canon photomarathon. length of event might range from 1/2 day to full day.

here's some thoughts:
1) themes given before participant heads out to shoot. judges decides the theme but cannot leak them out prior to each of the theme shoot.
2) 2 hours per theme. the shorter time it is the more challenging.
3) we'll have our own panel of judges(KopiOkaya and madmacs, so that they cannot scoop the prizes etc

).
4) eligibility only to Finepix Users Network people. Fuji users la.
5) digital formats but film also can if you can get it scan etc before the time ends for each theme.
6) prize is very small. eg. all chipped in to buy individual theme winner and overall winner a meal. which means we'll end with dinner or supper etc.

do advice us of your thoughts.

Maybe I can ask Fujifilm if they are willing sponsor a prize. Like a J-series point-and-shoot camera maybe.
