A few weeks ago we posted a story about the EOS Photo5 competition , by now those of you who registered should have received your little brown box and your mind is working overtime trying to come up with the winning image.

With a prize pool of USD$88,000, $23,000USD of which is for the Amateur Section, this contest might just live up to it’s claim of being “the world’s most prestigious international online photography competition”. Although prestige isn’t purely measured by prize money, the quality of the 2008 entries and the calibre of the judging panel definitely make this one worth a look.
The entry fees are a little bit steep at $39USD per image for the Open, and $9USD for the Amateur so make sure you chose your entries VERY carefully.
Interesting to note that the 2008 Awards were dominated by Australian photographers. Have a look at the images here.
