Only One More Day!

Tomorrow is the last day to submit contest images! If you haven’t already, log in to the Worldwide Photo Walk website, and you’ll see instructions on uploading your best image from the photo walk. If you haven’t made your pick yet, be sure to check out these Lightroom tutorial videos from RC that will help you narrow it down to your best shot.

After that, leaders will have one week to choose the winning image from their walk. All of those winning images will then be posted in the People’s Choice gallery where you can vote for the shot you think is the best. The People’s Choice winner will receive a $750 Adorama gift card and a 1-year Kelby Training Online subscription.

While that’s going on, Scott will also be narrowing all of the winning images down to the best of the best to select the top 11 images from the whole event. Those will be the 10 Honorable Mentions (who will receive a $250 Adorama gift card) and the Grand Prize Winner (who will receive a $1000 Adorama gift card and a 1-year Kelby Training Online subscription).

Free Lightroom 3 Webinar!

If you took part in the World Wide Photo Walk, tune in today to a special free, live online workshop from 10:00-11:00 am EDT featuring Scott Kelby on post processing the images from your walk using Adobe’s new Lightroom 3. To access the webcast, just click here and sign in with your Photo Walk site username and password.

Scott wanted a fun way to reconnect after the walk, and you’ll see exactly how he edited the images he took during his walk, and the workflow he uses to make the process quick and easy. If you don’t have Lightroom 3 yet, you can download a free trial version from Adobe at this link right here. Also, you should have gotten an email with a code for a 15% discount off a new purchase of Lightroom 3!

Scott will be taking your questions live during workshop, along with a few of “The Photoshop Guys” here at NAPP HQ to help out as well, so it should be a lot of fun.

If you can’t tune in live, the webcast will be made available for viewing online as soon as we can get it posted!

Uploading Contest Images

Photo Walk contest submissions will open on Sunday, July 25 and close July 31.

Here’s a short two-step walkthrough for submitting your best image to the Photo Walk contest.

Step 1) Go to WorldwidePhotoWalk.com and log in (look at the top right corner of the page)

Once you’re logged in, you’ll automatically go to your Photo Walk page.

Step 2) Once there, you’ll see a section called “Upload Your Photo” below the Meeting Location & Time (not today or tomorrow, but it’ll show up on Sunday):

Just follow the on-screen instructions and you’ll be good to go!

Each walker is allowed to submit one image to the contest.  The deadline to submit is July 31.  If you change your mind on which image you want to enter, you can change it up until the deadline.

After that, walk leaders will have till August 7 to choose the winning image from their walk.  They won’t be able to make a selection until after the submission process is finished.

All of those winning images will then be posted in the People’s Choice gallery where everyone can vote for their favorite shot during the following week.

Then, on August 14, we’ll announce the Grand Prize, Honorable Mentions, and People’s Choice winners.

So where does Flickr play into all of this?  Since this is a social event, we want you all to be able to share your images with the world! The contest we do here doesn’t really lend itself to that, so we’re suggesting that you share your shots on Flickr.

We’ve set up an official Worldwide Photo Walk Flickr group where anyone who takes part in the Photo Walk can share up to five images per day.  Your leader may have set up a Flickr group just for your location too.

Are you required to submit an image to the contest, or to share photos on Flickr? Absolutely not. If you just want to have fun taking pictures with fellow photographers and making new friends, then we’re all for that!

Hope that answers the questions a number of you had about this.  Happy Shooting! :)
