11th RICOH Photo Contest announced!

[odklizec]

Hey guys! I was just informed that I won the performance award (me and next 44 folks) and that my entry found its way to 2012 calendar! This news definitely made my day!

Anyone else with similar great news? Any winner of the Grand or Special prize here? I can only guess the "Special Prize" winners will not get the announced GRDIII but rather GRDIV in white?

Congrats Pavel, can you post your image here? or a link? or is this not within the rules, I seem to recall something about not being posted elsewhere!

Congratulations Pavel! I too have just received an email saying my photo entry has earned a Performance award and was selected to be on the 2012 calendar!

Thanks Tim! I think we clarified that point about not posting the photos elsewhere during 2010 or 2009 contest? The rule is not that strict. It should be OK as long as the photos are posted on this forum or at dpreview. Or in other words, they should not be posted in every existing photo contest

To be quite honest, I'm not quite sure what photo was selected as the winning one? This time, there were two photos per participant and I posted these two...

I thought these two fit the "radiance" theme? Because of the calendar entry, I guess the winning one is the one with Christmas lights?

That's great news Dorfinator. Congratulations! Could you post your winning photo?

I'd be more than happy to post my photo, in fact, I posted this image a couple months ago right here:

Ha! Now I'm seriously surprised you did not make one of the main prizes? Can't wait to see all photos.

Well done Pavel.

Congratulations to the pair of ya for making the grade.

Will the photos be available as a calendar?
If so where would one see this calendar?
