Canon Australia is calling for entries for its annual national Photo5 photographic competition.

The competition is centred on five everyday objects that are sent in a cardboard box to people who register at www.canon.com.au/photo5. The challenge is for people to photograph each object in a creative way and then upload it to the Photo5 website.
Canon EOS Brand Manager, Chris Macleod said, “In creative photography, even the most mundane object can be the starting point to something amazing. Photo5 encourages people to look at the world differently, to get more creative and to have fun with their digital SLR. Last year we were blown away with the level of creativity from all participants and we can’t wait to see what’s in store this year.”
Last year, the Photo5 objects included chalk, yellow dots, blue cellophane, a red balloon and the cardboard box itself. This year’s objects are under wraps and wont’ be revealed until participants register and receive the box in the post.
Last year, Canon limited registration to 2,500 entrants, but have opened the competition up to 10,000 people in 2008 given its popularity. Canon has also upped the ante this year with a prize package valued at over $50,000.
Until the 30th of September, anyone with an interest in photography and a flair for creativity can register for the competition at www.canon.com.au/photo5. Spaces are limited so people should register as soon as they can.
