fotomission | 9th South Beach Photomarathon

On Sunday, March 17, 2013 Fotomission and Tropicolor hosted the 9th South Beach Photomarathon, an exciting event that is open to all those who enjoy photography. Participants were assigned six topics to photograph on South Beach over a period of six hours. The topics, cool, not cool, love, hate, elegant and indecorous, were kept secret until the event day and were purposefully vague to give the contestants plenty of room for self expression.

This event was completely managed online. Participants received a printable ID badge via email, and on event day the secret topics were divulged every 2 hours via text message, email, Twitter and Facebook. This made for a very interesting contest and allowed contestants time to work on your captures.

This year we are returning to our previous system of three expert judges. There will be no layperson or contestant judging.

The best photos from each topic were be selected, and from those the first, second and third place winners are be awarded cash prizes as well as plexi mounted prints of their images. The winners will be exhibited at Tropicolor's gallery during the month of May and permanently on this site along with all the contestants' images.

We thank Tropicolor and all the participants for a very exciting event as usual.
