2010 Bridgestone Contest

We have been invited once again to compete in the Bridgestone Photo Contest. Details of the contest will be discussed in class and submission forms are online here.

This year the prizes are cash and a camera so start thinking of ideas that fit within the contest theme. This year the theme is Bridgestone's commitment to community, to the environment, and to safety.

Thanks again to Bridgestone for including us in their 9th annual addition of this contest.
