Best Looking Food of 2009 Contest

In an effort to capture the beauty of food photography and styling, award-winning Olympus Visionary food photographer Lou Manna announces a unique “creative concept” contest for the Best Looking Food of 2009.

The winning concept will be used as the inspiration for the cover of Lou’s forthcoming second book, More Digital Food Photography, coming out Fall 2009.

The quality of your photo does not matter; it is all about how the food looks. 

Cell phone photos are acceptable.

The contest began on January 1st and will end on February 16th, with the winner being announced on February 23rd. This contest is open to worldwide participation.

The prize package, valued at over $3,000, includes an Olympus camera kit equipped with Kingston memory cards, a Calumet lighting kit, a free liveBooks website design and hosting, dinner for two at a restaurant courtesy of Citysearch, and complimentary admission to a Digital Food Photography Workshop with Lou Manna.

The winner will receive a brand new 12 megapixel Olympus E-30 DSLR camera with incredible Creative Features built in and a Zuiko 28-84mm Digital lens.  The camera’s Art Filters, Multiple Exposure and Multi Aspect Shooting mean you’re limited only by your imagination.

In addition, the winner will have the exclusive opportunity to attend the photo shoot with Lou Manna at his studio in NYC (travel not included) to watch his vision for the cover of More Digital Food Photography come to life.
