[ TAMRON competition ]
Tamron is celebrating the launch of its new Australian website, Tamronterritory, and additions to the Australian range, with a great new photographic competition.
The competition coincides with the Australian release of the new Tamron AF 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 XR Di-II Aspherical Macro lens. This new lens was named Consumer Lens of the Year by TIPA, the European-based Technical Image Press Association, as it provides digital SLR users with “the versatility of a true wide to ultra-tele zoom in an amazingly compact design”.
The Tamron Territory photo competition is open to all, and first prize is a holiday in the Northern Territory to the value of $4000.
The competition "theme" is as broad as the horizon -- a picture taken in the great outdoors -- anywhere in Australia or the world. The shot should be the consummate "travel photograph" – something that demonstrates an engagement with the world the photographer observes on their travels. It could be a stunning landscape, a study of flora, fauna, or a picture of fellow travellers doing something crazy or interesting on their holidays.
The winning shot will be technically acceptable in terms of sharpness, colour, contrast and composition. The subject and purpose of the picture should be immediately apparent with little or no captioning necessary.
The winner can take a holiday in virtually any part of the Territory, selecting from the huge range of tours and safaris on offer from Adventure Tours (www.adverturetours.com.au).
Second prize is the soon-to-be-released Tamron SP AF 11-18mm f4.5-5.6 Di-II LD Asperical (IF) lens, available in Nikon, Minolta or Canon digital SLR mounts and with a retail value of $1199.00
Third prize is the just-released Tamron AF 18-200 f3.5-6.3 XR Di-II Aspherical Macro lens, available in Nikon, Minolta, Canon or Pentax mounts, and with a retail value of $899.00.
Entry is free and via image and detail upload from the Tamronterritory. Up to five images can be submitted per entrant.

Something strange happening here. I applied for an entry into this competition and received a password and ID from a Nikon/Harvey Norman website. I tried two different email addresses in case it was all a coincidence but was the same in both cases. When I try to access the competition with the given ID's and link http://hnphotocomp.nikon.com.au/ nothing happens, and in the rules and conditions it states that only employees of Harvey Norman are eligible.
The prizes didn't mention a trip, but were for various cameras. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?
