Portfolio Review Registration Deadlines
All those who pre-register for our Portfolio Review Program before March 1 will be eligible to have a free page devoted to their work (including photo & contact info), included in our Portfolio Review SourceBook, printed by Blurb, which will be distributed to each of the portfolio reviewers at the festival. Each reviewer (even those you don't sign up to see) will have this special book to keep.
In addition, all those registered for Portfolio Reviews before March 10 will be able to submit their top reviewer choices online. We will be able to grant at least 60% of these requests in nearly all cases! The remaining portfolio reviews will be available to all others once the pre-registered attendee's requests have been assigned. Of course attendees will be able to sign up for reviews at any time up to and including the festival days - but the largest possible choices will be reserved for those registered before the March 10 deadline.
The first 75 photographers signed up for Portfolio Reviews will be able to participate at no cost, in our Open Portfolio Review on Sunday, March 27. Over 500 people will visit this event.
No Fee Slide Show Contest Deadline is March 4

Four finalists will be selected for gifts from our sponsors - and the grand prize winner receives a complete Canon T2i Kit, a $500 gift certificate from Blurb, $300 Gift Certificate from Samy's Camera, a Western Digital TV Live Hub Media Player and more! Blurb will send a film crew to make a 5-minute film about the Grand Prize Winner. In addition, all 16 slide shows shown at Connect 2011 will be considered for an outdoor projection at this year's "Night of the Year 2011" at the Rencontres D'Arles festival in France!
