It’s time to start pulling your portfolio together and getting your writing chops worked out. This is an excellent competition – I know, because I worked with the Alexia Foundation for several years.  Go do it. Study photojournalism in London Alexia Scholarship pays all tuition for fall semester at Syracuse University London Centre in England Application deadline is Feb. 1, 2009....

Our own Daniel Shirey took second place in the National Press Photographers Association’s Region Six Monthly Clip Contest for his photo of Knowshon Moreno leaping earlier this year.  Nice pic. 

Get your entries together … College Photographer of the Year is now accepting student entries for the 63rd annual competition. As the contest is now completely electronic and there is no longer a printed call for entry for us to send you for distribution to your students, you should have found or will shortly find a postcard in your mailboxes...

It says you can join a National Geographic photographer in Australia … Fine print is a little, well, odd … seems you need to fly yourself there and they’ll fly you back. Not sure on that, though.

Hmmm … let’s see … there are 14 teaching members of the journalism faculty here, one of whom teaches photojournalism. At the Society of Professional Journalists’ regional award ceremony, the Red & Black won 16 awards this year (scroll down to the second editorial) … seven of them for photography. Hmmm … Congrats go to: Richard Hamm – first place...

Next category for the Hearst Photojournalism Award is Picture Story/Series. Look at what you’ve shot since September 1, 2006 (not 2007, 2006) and see if you’ve got a killer story. I know some of you do. Bring it to me on CD by noon on March 1. We can send two in for judging, so get me this stuff ASAP.
