now the question is, are we allowed to shoot on sleague grounds....(ie. stadiums, etc)

jimtong · 27th April 2004

So it must be within the context of S League?

jeff49er · 27th April 2004

Importantly, what is the entrance fee to the stadium?

I like football but not a fan of S league.

hence not sure of the entrance fees and seating.

The best location to shoot is to the right and left of the goalkeeper bcos penalty box is where games are decided.

If to shoot from the spectators' stand where got vantage point

BrianWilson · 27th April 2004

hi, here's what i gathered at the launch this morning.

it doesn't have to be at s-league games.
It's anything that means anything related to football.
the promo poster had a granny shoot a pic of her grandson cleaning his boots.
so be creative and submit it to them.

cheers,
David

sequitur · 28th April 2004

sehsuan · 28th April 2004

wow. pretty picky T&C's there.

must be able to blow up to 30x40cm. a little hard for those with lesser pixel count, but still can interpolate, i guess.

at least 2000 px on the longer side and still must not exceed 400kb in filesize? ok, guess they're not asking for quality for submission though, but will ask for high res original later if you get a position.

fairly interest 5K bounty, but erm, i'll pass

skyline_impreza · 28th April 2004

I clicked the link to photo submission, there is a two category "Student" and "Open". Does that means different category different prize or wat?

Jed · 29th April 2004

Maybe that's the four categories... student sleague, student football, open sleague, open football...

Not to pour cold water. If that happens, there will be at least 100 photog and football fans with cameras in the queue for the 10 or 20 places on the pitch.
GOOD LUCK.
