The Golden Shopping Trolley Awards
16 Aug 2011 at 9:23am
Team Digital is very pleased announce the Golden Shopping Trolley Awards or Photo competition.
This has been in the making for some time , the awards them self come from discussions with Christian Fletcher. Basically how to have a competition and have a lot fun doing it.
The theme is Urban Landscape or “Landscapes that have been touched by man” . Im sure you will all agree that this gives you a lot scope to come up with something out of the square.
We did want to make this competition different not only from the subject point of view but also the way it is judged. So we have came up with the idea of having the top 20 images judged live at Gala Evening ( Beer and Sausage Sizzle at Team ) held on the 29th of October starting at 6.00pm So you can come along and hear what the judges had to say about the images . Also the 20 finalist will be printed on Epson of course . And during the night we will have a large screen displaying all the entrants.
What could be better than that , how about a whole swag of prizes over $ 4000.00 worth
1st Prize is shiny new Epson Pro 3880 A2 printer valued at $ 2195.00
2nd Prize is a brand new Manfrotto Carbon Fibre Tripod 055CXPro4 valued at $ 795.00
3rd Prize is the Complete collection of NIK’s Software valued at $ 699.00
Wait there’s more, we have two other section. these are extra sections so you will entered into the main section as well.
The first is the X-100 Award which basically the best Urban landscape shot on the amazing Fuji X-100. This is a mounted Fujiflex print up to 60 x 90 cm valued at $ 550.00.
The second is the best Urban Landscape image that contains a shopping trolley. Canson have sponsored this section with a $ 250 media pack.
Now cost of entry $ 25.00 which allows you to enter 4 images and this includes a ticket to the gala evening.
You can put your entries in via a link on the Team Digital blog. That will be up and running by the end of the week. Entries must be by the 21st of October.

sweeeeeeetttttt…should be fun..looking forward to the Gala!
Oh god, more altered landscapes…
Mint, what an awesome idea! Get Shooting!!
Sounds like a lot of fun. I’ll try get out and snap some new shots to enter with 🙂
This is stretching my talents – if there was an award for “best iPhone image shot without getting out of a car” I might have a chance, especially since I already have a couple with shopping trolleys 🙂 Is there going to be a NAPA prize??
Game on I say! 🙂
What????? No Fusion Category………
Damm! rules probably state that I can’t enter because of my Fujifilm connections…
What are you’re thoughts on that CF?
I would speak to Ben at Team Dig mate. As long as you don’t get the Fuji prize you should be ok but it is his decision. Cheers
Pretty damn awesome, best of luck everyone, there is some quite interesting urban landscapes around Perth and Kwinana so you have plenty of good places to explore. I have some winners from down there but not sure if I can enter, can’t make it to the gala anyway.
Sounds fun…I’m in!!
