Winter Photo Contest 2010

Photo: Wide Island View

The folks behind the Hiroshima JET blog, Wide Island View, have decided to team up with the Ishikawa JET blog and do a little cross-prefectural promotion.  As part of that, we’d like to help advertise the Winter Photo Contest — with prizes — over at the Wide Island View website.

Send in your best winter photo of Japan, and get a chance to win some fun prizes, sponsored by NetPrice Japan.

Your photo must:

• be set in Japan.
• have a winter theme.
• have been taken during the past six months.
• have been taken by you.
• be at least 1,200 pixels on any side (most cameras do this…)

Interested?  You’re competing against fellow foreigners, not professionals here.

Submit your photos to: wivcontests (at) gmail (dot) com and include

• your name
• your JET placement
• photo title
• location and short description of photo

Winners will get their choice of 3 prizes (see their site for pics!) and will have their photos displayed on the Englipedia website — whee, bragging rights!  Other photo submissions may also featured in the Shashin Spotlight on the Wide Island View website.

The deadline is April 1st, 2010.  Winners will be announced on April 5th on the Wide Island View website!

Check it out and help represent Ishikawa in a faraway prefecture!
