Baseball finals offer ideal chance for late-season photography
The British Baseball Photography Competition (BBPC; run in conjunction with Project COBB Photography) is accepting entries till the end of September, but with photographic opportunities now running out, it’s an excellent time to be capitalising on the last remaining events in the calendar and also to go back through the albums you have from earlier in the season.
So choose your best 24 shots and submit them, via the specially built online entry form, to be in with a chance to scoop the £100 of photographic vouchers on offer as the first prize. The online entry form can be accessed by clicking HERE.
Once we get to October, a shortlist will be drawn up and published for a public vote, and the winner — who will receive £100 in photo vouchers — will be announced in November. For handy hints on how to please the judges, check out this article. Full competition rules can be found by clicking here.
Keep the entries coming for the BBPC
The British Baseball Photography Competition (BBPC; run in conjunction with Project COBB Photography) has been showcasing the work of both experienced and novice photographers from the baseball community over the past two years. The 2012 season sees the third running of the competition, and although it is still early days, it looks like it will be a challenge to top the total of 145 photos submitted in last year’s competition.
But the slow start is quite probably in large part due to the unpleasant weather we’ve endured (and the resulting lack of fixtures) during the opening weeks of the season. Cold, wet conditions do not make sports photographers eager to get their equipment out.
The good news is that with the glorious weather we are now enjoying, there should be games galore and no excuse to leave the camera at home. In addition, the submission process is now slicker than ever as the clever folks at BaseballSoftballUK have built a special online entry form.

British Baseball Photography Competition now accepting entries for 2011
The annual British Baseball Photography Competition (BBPC) is back up and running for 2011. The competition will be similar to last year’s, which was won by Emma Morgan, although entrants will now be able to submit up to 24 photos during the contest, an increase of four on last year.
A more significant change to the format is that the judging panel will determine only a shortlist, rather than adjudicating on the overall winner. The winning photo for 2011 will, instead, be determined by an online vote among members of the British baseball community. The winner’s prize will once again be a £100 gift card for a photography shop, donated by BaseballSoftballUK.
For details of how to start submitting your shots, visit the BBPC 2011 area on the Project Cobb website. Be sure to read the full competition rules first. These are available through the link earlier in this paragraph.
Finally, I’d like to wish all of you who choose to enter the 2011 competition “happy shooting”.
