Restrictions: Looks like it's only for residents in the DC area and students enrolled in DC area institutions. "DC area" seems to include neighboring MD and VA counties. See site for details -- I'm too foggy to sort it all out. To the DCmeetup folks -- I think this sucks, but maybe I'm reading it wrong and your images are as viable as any issuing from local crustaceans like me.
Deadline: Sept. 22, 2008 (Sept. 29 if you like paying a late fee). Notification is by Oct. 17 by e-mail.
Prizes total $37K -- top prize $5K. Entry fees are low (like $15 - though a series of 10 images can eat up $95, errrgh) to cover costs of contest but quality of organizations involved indicate this is no scam: National Geographic, Discovery, Society of Media Professionals, Chrome, and the Hemphill Gallery.
Entries are to be electronic; JPEGs or TIFFs measuring at least 1,000 px on the long side are preferred; sRGB, Adobe 1998, or non-color-managed ok. More details on site.
You retain copyright to the images you created but assign rights to Fotoweek to use your (winning) image in contest displays and promotions.
