Two weeks left to submit your photos for the 2011 British Baseball Photography Competition

bbpcThere are 2 weeks left until the 12 September deadline for submitting photos to the 2011 British Baseball Photography Competition (BBPC), which is the day after the senior National Baseball Championship finals in Hemel.

Entrants are invited 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.

Some of this year’s entrants have also had their photos featured in BSUK’s fortnightly British baseball and softball e-newsletter Hot Corner, which you can sign up to receive via this link if you are not already getting it.

So far, 10 photographers have submitted a combined total of 84 images. Last year, at the close of the competition, there had been 129 photos submitted by 22 individuals.

For a reminder of how to submit your shots, visit the BBPC 2011 area on the Project COBB website. Be sure to read the full competition rules first. These are also available through the link earlier in this paragraph.

British Baseball Photography Competition now accepting entries for 2011

bbpcThe 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.

Finally, I’d like to wish all of you who choose to enter the 2011 competition “happy shooting”.
