Sony And Reuters Launch Photo Contest

Reuters and Sony Electronics have launched the "Take Your Best Shot" citizen photojournalism contest. Open to photographers and videographers in the United States, the contest will accept images of newsworthy events that appeal to a wide audience. Entries may be submitted until July 2, 2007, to the Yahoo!/Reuters You Witness News citizen photojournalism site, and will be evaluated by a panel of judges assembled by Reuters.

The Grand Prize winner will receive a Sony HDR-HC5 High Definition Handycam camcorder and a trip to New York to accompany a Reuters photographer for a day. Two semifinalists will each be awarded a Sony Alpha DSLR-A100K digital SLR.

Official contest rules are available on the Reuters Web site.
