The MBP Assignment is run monthly. Each month members work on their photograph for the assignment as a means to hone photography skills and to learn how to see things differently. After each monthly assignment, we spend two weeks voting for the top three images that are closest to the assignment theme, and best executed. We call these the winners, but everyone is a winner, as we all become better photographers by participating.
Every so often a kind sponsor provides a means to offer prizes for the assignments, and they can then be considered a competition, and the winners get a little more, in addition to recognition from their peers.
This time we have prizes to beat all previous ones. Our new sponsors WebSpy have generously donated $1,000 for prizes for our assignment winners! The top three people receiving the most votes between June and November, 2009, will receive the following amazing prizes! Each of which has been carefully selected to also help you to hone your photography skills and learn how to see things differently.
By the way, if you already own a Sigma 50mm F1.4 lens, you can have a $500 B&H gift voucher instead. Now how cool is that!?
So, get stuck into the assignments, and it doesn’t even matter if you don’t take part in all six. You don’t even have to win any of the six assignments. All you have to do is post images good enough to get lots of votes, and you’re in with a change. The votes for each assignment are published each month so you can track your progress as you improve your photography.
The assignment theme for each month is announced in the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast, as well as in the Assignment Forum.
Thanks so much to our sponsors, WebSpy, for enabling us to offer these amazing prizes!
Good luck!
