UPDATE - 17 June 2009

So far, there has been a very positive response, with people wanting to know more about the competition as well as plenty of people already submitting some really impressive photos.

Here are three things that might come in handy:

1. This year’s theme is Unity so make sure that you can tell me exactly how you think your photo visually represents Unity. Remember that no matter how good your photo is, if it doesn’t represent unity, it can’t be used in the exhibition.

2. You can submit a maximum of two photos. If you have already submitted two photos into the competition and you manage to get a photo of three shooting stars across a beautifully lit sky with rolling hills and a misty lake, don’t panic. If you want to re-submit photos you can email thepixelprize@acu.edu.au, attach the new photo you would like to submit and nominate which photo (if you have submitted 2) you would like it to replace.
If you have only submitted one photo, don’t forget that entering another photo is only going to improve your chances of success in the competition.

3. Make sure you keep an eye on this blog. There will be regular posts which will include tips, hints and ideas for photos. There will also be image editing software tutorials as well as photography techniques. You can also comment on any topic, ask questions or share your insight or ideas by commenting on posts.Good luck in the competition and happy snapping.
