The Georgetowner is petitioning local photographers to submit their finest Georgetown images for a chance to win the front cover of the 2010 publication.
Shutterbugs can submit up to five photographs by Sunday, December 20, 2009. Send submissions to photography@georgetowner.com
A born and bred New Yorker, Rebecca made the big trip “down south” to DC in 2006 and hasn’t looked back. She spends her days strategizing/planning/ideating how interactive products can help her clients and change the world. In her free time, she explores DC’s ever expanding bar, restaurant and small business scene, plays a crap ton of soccer, attends concerts that contribute to her sleep deprivation and embarks on local adventures.

I hate contests where the “prize” is you letting them use your photo for free. Lame! I’m not going to bother entering unless there’s a fair compensation.
I am also leery of photo contests like these. They often have some small print that says that they own the photo and can use and SUBMITTED photos in the future whenever and however they like. This is fine for some and not so fine for others.
Before a photographer friendly blog like this pimps their contest I think they should ask the Georgetowner to publish their small print.

It’s all fair as long as you have the small print to read, but I have to agree with Michael.
Quite right; the bastards want you to hand over the keys no questions “All photographs submitted will become the property of Georgetown Media Group to print and publish.”
