Calling All Photographers…

So you take photos, do you? Wait, what… you take photos of BANDS?? And you’re dying for a Press Pass to shoot the likes of Isochronous, Desmond and the Tutus, Taxi Violence, Crash Car Burn etc at Synergy Live? Okay so maybe not Crash Car Burn, but you see where I’m going with this..

Cape Town School of Photography, Synergy Live and one small seed magazine are putting on this epic competition that aims to give a warranted amount of exposure to young photographers. So here’s the deal…

The competition will consist of two rounds.

In the first round, entrants will submit their best live music photograph to competition@ormsconnect.co.za. Submissions open 17 October (WHICH MEANS IT’S ALREADY ON) and close 14 November. Only one photograph is allowed per entrant, so don’t be a doos, pick your best one.

Then a panel of judges will select the 10 best images to be displayed on ORMS CONNECT where users will vote for their favourite photograph in the comments section. The THREE entrants with the highest amount of votes will each receive a double-ticket to Synergy Live, as well as an official Photographers Pass for the event. This will give them access to the pit in front of the main stage.

After the festival, each photographer will have three days in which to submit their best three photographs taken at Synergy Live Music Festival. The competition panel will select the best picture from the 9 submitted images to declare a winner. The winning photographer will receive an 8 week Social Documentary Course from the Cape Town School of Photography, an A2 mounted print of the winning photograph, as well as a double-ticket to Synergy 2012.

Um. Ja. This is the kind of shit that, if you’re a photographer who has mad skills and you don’t enter, you’re insane in the membrane.

Goodluck bitches. May the best photog win.
