Photokina 2008 - IVRPA contests 2008

The IVRPA Board of Directors is pleased to announce a series of contests,
with the goal to showcase the work of IVRPA members at Photokina 2008. The
largest event in the Photography industry worldwide! Like the previous
editions of this biannual event, the IVRPA has secured a booth at this great
event.
Winning prints and interactive images will be displayed at Photokina 2008 in
Cologne, Germany from September 23 to 28. After Photokina, the exhibition
will travel to the Panorama Mesdag museum in The Hague (NL), and possibly
other locations.
The contests are open to all current IVRPA members. In an effort to work
more closely together with the IAPP (International Association of Panoramic
Photographers), special arrangements have been set up to allow IAPP members
to enter the contest, though entries by IAPP members will only make up a
limited part of the total exhibition.
There will be three major categories in this year's contest:
* Stills/Print gallery,
* Gigapixel images,
* Interactive images.
Each of these categories will be open in turn. We are pleased to announce
that the entry period for the Stills/Print gallery is now open! *The last
day for submission to the Contest is Sunday July 6, 2008. Entries are closed
July 7, 2008.* All dates and times are in central european time (CET).
