A new competition with real prizes!

[olf]

A proper photographic competition has been launched...

www.telegraph.co.uk/motion

Very much like our monthly competition do people fancy having a crack at this? If so here's the plan:

We'll have a sticky where we post up our possible entries (you can enter more than once) then we'll do the constructive criticism thing until those that want to enter feel they have perfected or chosen their correct entry. Obviously to avoid accusations of fixing and post editing etc would have to be all of your own work, but the motion subject s a good one and the prizes are all PistonHead attractions! Cameras, Range Rover driving experiences, helicopter trips etc, depending which category you enter.

Closing date is the 26th November.

Looking at the entries so far I'd say our talented PHers could clean up.

In other words, they commission LOADS of decent amateurs to submit photos that will help THEM, and the only payment is one competition prize...

Someone came up with a good idea to save 'em a few quid, eh...

I thought I recognised that picture of the 959 from somewhere - a PH feature!

And there's a "peoples choice" prize too - so we could easily get PHer to vote for one of ours

It's a lovely idea...it's just the image rights clause that makes it smell like a cheap corporate-image hunt.

And besides...they're offering a NIKON, FFS! That's against my religion!!!
