PHOTO CHALLENGE : The World Through My Lens

For our 25th Anniversary celebration we have created a very special photo challenge “The World through My Lens” – a travel-themed photo contest open to all Canadian photographers. This very special project will run in conjunction with our “Image Hong Kong” photo expedition in April, chronicling the adventures of our team of PHOTO News photographers as they explore the sights and scenes of Hong Kong to deliver spectacular images for a special section to appear in our Autumn 2016 issue.

“The World through My Lens” is the most spectacular photo contest we have ever created, with a grand prize including a trip for two to Hong Kong and a range of additional prizes from our contest sponsors: the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Cathay Pacific, The Langham Hotel in Hong Kong, Nikon Canada, Vanguard, Hahnemühle, and Zenfolio. For more information please visit: http://hongkong2016.photonews.ca

Throughout the year, our reader participation challenges focus on themes that are designed to inspire your creativity and expand your photographic skills. Check out the Final Frame on page 66, take “A Shot in the Dark”, post it in our challenge thread at the flickr® group, and you may be the winner of a Panasonic four-thirds camera!

It’s all part of our goal to share the passion for photography with Canadian photo enthusiasts – so sit back, enjoy the magazine, then grab your camera and explore new techniques in creativity!
