New Prizes Announced For Our Streets Ahead Mobile Photography Street Challenge

A few days ago, we announced wonderful prizes for our brand new mobile street photography group, StreetWise, if you missed that, please go here.  Today, we are also rolling out these prizes to cover our fabulous women’s only mobile street photography group, Streets Ahead.  We recently published a new Challenge to Streets Ahead – Patterns on the Street – asking artists to submit images with this theme to our Flickr Challenge Group – to find out more about this challenge, please go here.  Now there’s even more reason to submit your images to this challenge group because for this Challenge we are delighted to be working closer with Thomas Hurst, Founder of COVR Photo. Hurst has created an incredible iPhone case with built-in lens that allows you to ‘shoot from the hip’, giving you the advantage of capturing some fabulous street photography. We have a selection of iPhone 5 cases to giveaway (each worth $55.00) to three runners up for this contest and for the main prize winner we will send a COVR 6 (worth $74.95) case to you.

The COVR 6 cases are in manufacture right now and samples are shipping soon.  We will have more details on this in another post.
