Photography Scavenger Hunt Invitational
The Grand Prize winner of this competition will be named the
Artist Trifecta Photographer of the Year 2010
It's time for the next Photography Scavenger Hunt and this time we are going
to mix it up a bit! Starting at noon on December 4th, we are going to have a 24 hour race to take pictures of 12 clues. All of the rules and usual information still applies, but with all of the suggestions that I have been given by participants, we are mixing it up a bit this time!
CLUES
You get to help comprise the list of clues! I've been told that my clues can be a bit tough, so we started tossing about a few suggestions over lunch after the Centennial Park unveiling. I want you to think of as many clues as you would like to add to the list. Here are the beginnings....
« Self portrait
« Ticket stub
« Out-of-towners
« Height
« Street level
« Recreating a movie scene
« Night shot
« Sunrise shot
« Ho ho ho
« Nude
« Landscape
« Christmas song
« One of Santa's helpers that didn't make the cut
« The new gallery space
I would like for everyone to contribute as many clues as you would like. I will then compile the entire list and let all involved vote for their 12 favorites on December 2nd. This will give everyone the chance to go ahead and think about the composition, place and models involved in the shots....however, the final list of 12 clues will not be given until the day of the contest.
CHECK POINTS
We are also adding three check points during the 24 hour race. Our locations manager will be waiting for all of the photographers at each location with a prop that will need to be included in your pictures and an adult beverage. At each check point you will be given a riddle to decode that will give you the next checkpoint and time.
LIFELINE
Everyone will be given one lifeline. When you get stumped on something, you will have one opportunity to call me and ask for help.
WILDCARD
You get to include 3 extra images. Due to the amount of comments of "but I had another one that was so good I wish I could have used it too," I am opening it up to the inclusion of your 3 wildcards. Not required, but it will allow you to present multiple images for one clue.
PITCH A TENT
By the 4th, the interior of the gallery will look like a winter wonderland with the Christmas trees that will be brought in to be decorated. If you would like to pitch a tent and spend the entire time in the middle of it all, bring it on! We will also have the bocce ball and croquet courts completed by that time so it will give us a chance to have some break time and play.
SEC PLAYOFFS
I was reminded that the SEC playoffs will also be happening that day at the Dome. Traffic and people will be at a maximum for our shots. The COP crowd will love any pictures you can get that are FULL of people. For those of you who had a chance to talk with Joe and Christina, focusing on the people and activities are more important to them than broad landscape shots. They want to see the vibrancy of the people.
SPONSORS
Once again we have a lot of great sponsors on board with us....Centennial Olympic Park, Wine Shoe, Easter Seals & Fashion Uncorked with others joining in by the day of. I am going to have each of them give story ideas of the shots they would like to see to help you in creating the winner similar to a description that an ad agency would give you.
THE END
The race will conclude at noon on the 5th at the gallery (106 Walker Street SW). For anyone who would like to wrap up the competition with lunch and an adult beverage, we will walk over to No Mas Cantina for food, drinks and discussion!
FEE
$75. This time the fee is being raised a bit to help cover the adult beverages and other fun things. I am also including the printing fee of fifteen 8x10s. To reserve your spot come by the gallery or send a check to Artist Trifecta, 339 Nelson Street, Atlanta, GA 30313 by December 1. You have to reserve your spot and paid before the 1st or your package will not created for you!
I WANNA!
I have been wanting to participate since the very first one so this time I will be out there in the trenches with you. I will be playing fair...don't worry...although I have already lined up the models, equipment trucks and special effects...just joking. My pictures will not be eligible for judging and I will still have to do all of the behind the scenes work too. I have been told that I need to experience the adrenaline rush of trying to figure out the clues and getting the best shots. I experienced that a bit in Detroit when Pip gave me my list of 12 clues and then thirty minutes later the pedal fell of the bike that I had borrowed. The pressure can be intense!
