Susannah points us to this open digital photography competition about life in America, produced by Rick Smolan and David Elliot Cohen, creators of the book A Day in the Life of America. Winners get cash and digital photography gear.
What does it mean to be American? What do we believe in? How are we perceived by the world? Does Hollywood tell your story? The media? The government? Here's a chance to tell your own story with digital photos…[this] all-digital event that will capture extraordinary pictures of an ordinary American week….Until now, only top pros could participate in Smolan/Cohen projects – and 1,000 of the best will shoot for America 24/7. But America 24/7 also offers amateurs and pros across America the opportunity to take digital photos and easily submit them via this website.
Your photos will be judged by photography directors from America's top magazines and newspapers. And 10,000 of the best images will be published in 53 large-format volumes by DK, known worldwide for its distinctive, highly visual books.
