Hi Teru I’ve sent you a PM for some help.
Thanks very much!!!

Hi:
Can anyone post a link to the rules of this award.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Armando

thanks Hughes!
Many cheers,

Following the link of Hughes I found some general information about the procedures, but nothing specific regarding the 2008 award and entrance details.
Somewhere in those (useful anyway) information there is this paragraph:
"The photographers submit five to ten photos that demonstrate a high level of photography and visually interpret living situations of children. There is no possibility to enter the contest without nomination.
What exactly means the sentence that i bolded?
What a photographer then should do?
Is this a simple restriction?

Hihi all,

One more question..:
Is it important to know something regarding the size of the photos we are about to send, or is indifferent?
|
Hi All, I just e-mailed the rest of my colleagues and so am waiting on a consensus re file size, but as it seems there are already questions about it I’m proposing that files, if there are more than one, be sent in zipped folders and that individual image size be jpeg on 8 quality at 200 dpi at 1600px at their longest. Also, please include your name and contact details in the file info section. For those sending to James you might want to double-check with him as he’s on the road and away from broadband and so a smaller file size might be more suitable for him.
|
Hi Aytac,
Sorry for not replying earlier. I was on vacation and took a few days break from email… I’m not sure the answer to your question, but will check and get back to you.
|
Thanks, Teru. How does this nomination work? Do we submit our work to our friends and they will nominate us for UNICEF?

Can the people who want to send work from China, southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand can you please send it my pb@patrickbrownphoto.com. I would also like the body of work to be accompanied by, text, an introduction to the project – just a brief overview of the project. This is very important. Again it doesn’t have to be too big.
For sending images could you please keep the edit, very tight. The final out put for these images will have to be sent to Germany, it has been proposed that the file size must be: jpeg on 8 quality at 200 dpi at 1600px at their longest.
Any question please feel free to contact me
Regards
Patrick

Hi Jean,
You can send the series to me. I am crossing the
US border south to Mexico today but should be
reachable throughout that time with small gaps
in time, when I am out of areas with internet.
Please bear in mind what Patrick said when preparing the
series to be submitted:

I look forward to seeing what you have in mind.
Cheers,
James.

Hi Guys,
I don´t want to scrap it out with Patrick over
China, but that would be in the East Asia region.
Southeast Asia has a lot of stories already.
China, Japan and Korea (used to be) the Chinese
characters/kanji cultural block of East Asia.
Please send China stories to
james.delano@pep.ne.jp and
cc: to
jameswdelano@hotmail.com
Cheers,
James.

Hi Sumit,
Great to hear from you.
Will be sending my entries.
Good Luck
Dev

I just checked the definition of Southeast Asia. Here is the Wiki definition. While Southeast Asia has been influenced or occupied by China, China does not belong there, but to East Asia.

Hey Guy’s
Still looking for someone who knows how to get a hold of Stephen Ferry or who may take a submission for Bolivia S.A. I’m not ‘young’, but this would be my first submission in 20 years, that’s new isn’t it.
Thanks again

Tomoko,
Thanks for making me look at Stephen’s LS profile one more time. When I looked a few days ago there was no email for him. Now it’s there. Appreciate your reply.

I want to know how to submit photo?
im from indonesia, south east asia
thank you
|
any one know Patrick Brown contact?
thank you
|
Doddy, you need to see Patrick Brown`s post above for the e-mail address. Contrary to his post, however, his territory does not include China, which belongs to East Asia and if your photo subjects are shot in China, contact James Whitlow Delano.
|
what if my photo subject in Indonesia?
|
|
|
Dear Patrick Brown
could i know your email? because i will send my image later.
|
it is in this post.

Hi all,
just one doubt. If I am based in Europe but I am submitting pictures I took in Australia, am I supposed to send the pictures to Sherri Dougherty (for Europe) or to
Patrick Brown (Australia)?
|
Romina, your pictures should go to a person who is nominating pictures shot in
Australia. It is the picture that counts, not your base. Therefore it should be Patrick Brown in your case.
Here is his e-mail address, pb@patrickbrownphoto.com, but before you send them, be sure to read his instructions in his post above.
|
Thank you very much, Tomoko.

You are welcome, Romina, and best of luck to you, and everyone else who have submitted. The key seems to me that it is the UNICEF PHOTO of the year award in the title, but not the UNICEF Photographer of the Year award. That may be why they have set up regional nominators to select a series of images, not the image makers, in particular regions.
