Get Out There: Photographers, name your dream shoot!



U.S. Photographers: Dream Big - Then Grab Your Passports
Lenovo® and Microsoft team up for first-ever "Name Your Dream Assignment" Contest

Grand-prize is $50,000, a digital camcorder and the Lenovo® ThinkPad® W700ds with Microsoft Windows Vista®

Daydreaming about Anguilla's coastline at sunset? Taking a canoe down the Taramakau River? Or standing inside Mount Kenya's Ice Cave? If you're a U.S. resident with a camera and a vision, you could make your dream come true in Lenovo's first-ever "Name Your Dream Assignment" photo contest.

From March 3 to April 3, 2009, U.S. residents of any skill level will have a chance to win $50,000 to shoot a dream photo assignment anywhere in the world. In addition to $50,000, the grand-prize winner will also receive a digital camcorder and the Lenovo® ThinkPad® W700ds with Microsoft Windows Vista® to take on the journey. Photographers can enter their ideas and with clear, succinct explanations here.

Each participant may submit up to three ideas. Take the time to read through some of the ideas that have already been submitted. I found inspiration from just reading what others dream of shooting.




Participants don't just enter this contest - they'll help select the winner. A public online vote and a panel of expert judges will determine the outcome. The panel will also take into consideration skill and experience. Two runners-up will also receive the Lenovo® ThinkPad® W700ds with Microsoft Windows Vista®.

To continue daydreaming with other hopefuls, please join the contest's online community at its official Facebook fan page and on Twitter.
