Cherry Blossom Photo Contest!
Being a photographer in DC means that, at one point or another, you’ve probably taken photos of the annual cherry blossoms. (You can see mine here.) Well, the National Cherry Blossom Festival and Lulu.com want your photos! Prize information below:
“Twelve photographs will be selected as finalists to be featured in the 2009 Official NCBF Calendar. Finalists will receive a free copy of the calendar as well as an NCBF prize package. Of the 12 finalists, one photograph will be chosen for each of the contest categories - Best Festival Scenery Photo and Best Festival Event Photo. Each Category Winner will receive two tickets to anywhere Southwest Airlines flies. One Category Winner will be selected as the Official NCBF Contest Winner and will be featured as the cover image on the 2009 Official NCBF Calendar.” (link)
You can even choose to sell your photo as a download upon entering the contest!
The contest runs until April 30, 2008. For more information and to enter your photo, visit:

NOTE: Per the contest terms, by submitting your photo you:
“grant the NCBF a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to use your Entry in the 2009 Official National Cherry Blossom Calendar and in any other way and in any other media”
This still might be a good contest to enter, especially if you win the plane tickets, but keep that in mind… Extra-special thanks to Patty Hankins for pointing this out in the comments. Thanks Patty!
