An online gallery and social media magazine, Flak Photo provides unique opportunities for artists and photography organizations to share their work with a community of photographers, galleries, publishers, curators and editors. To submit your work for consideration, email your photograph (sRGB JPG format, minimum 1000px wide) with title and caption details to photo@flakmag.com. Please include the following information with your submission:
Naturally, photographers retain all copyright on submitted materials. Contributors are formally credited and Flak Photo's style is to link the credit to a contributor's website.
Riverlink wants to generate public interest in this contest. Part of their strategy is to create some creative videos and posters that will grab people's attention to participate. They are hoping to create 2-4 videos and 1-2 photographs. The photos will be used for the poster and the video distributed around the web. The ideas for videos and posters that they have so far are below:
- Children running through a sprinkler of water that turns to mud.
- A family eating at the dinner table, drinking glasses of mud
- Man throws out fishing line get stuck in a river of mud
- Kids swinging over river bank, lands in mud, can’t get out.
The project would be done on a volunteer basis and would make a great resume item for a student.
Please contact Hartwell Carson at Riverkeeper@Riverlink.org if you are interested in helping out with this project.
