If you attended our Worldwide Photowalk event last year in Smithfield, you know how much fun it was! And – not to brag – but things are going to be even better for our Spring 2018 Photo Walk Contest!

We’ve partnered again with the Smithfield & Isle of Wight Convention & Visitors Bureau. We are really excited to be working together again! In addition to being able to get out and spend time with other amazing photographers, Smithfield is holding a photo contest and will be giving away $200 in cash prizes!

Spring 2018 Photo Walk Contest

Smithfield Tourism will sponsor $200 in prize money for the winning images: $100 for first prize, $75 for second and $25 for third prize.
In exchange Smithfield Tourism requests free usage of all images submitted to the contest from the walk that day, so photographers will be asked to sign a photo release as well as a model release for any recognizable images of people in their image.

Entry into the walk is on a first come basis, until the 50 spaces are filled.

If you need to cancel attending, please let us know so we can find a replacement.

Only three rules:

1. You may only submit one photo for the contest (but we definitely encourage you to share more with the Bureau of Tourism!)
2. Colleges aren’t allowed, as they are technically more than one photo
3. Photos must be taken during the walk on 04/28 (not before or after)

Using editing software (such as Lightroom, Photoshop, Camera Raw, etc) are acceptable.
