Become Canada’s ‘Next Top Mobile Phone Photographer’

Calling all shutterbugs: Sony Ericsson is out to find Canada’s "Next Top Mobile Phone Photographer" and award them a dream vacation worth $10,000.

Aspiring photographers simply upload their most impressive camera phone photos here and nominate the shot into one of the three categories: Action and Adventure, Fun and Games, or Everyday Moments.

Visitors to the site can then vote for their favourite photos. The top three from each category will win a Sony Ericsson K850i Cyber-shot 5 Megapixel camera phone (worth about $500). The nine semi-finalists will then be challenged to take new images with the phone, which will be judged by a panel of experts, before the grand prize is awarded to one mobile photographer.

The panel of celebrity judges includes Canadian Idol winner Brian Melo, celebrity blogger Amber MacCarthur and legendary Canadian photographer Peter Burian.

Enter online here before midnight EDT on March 23, 2008. This contest is only open to amateur photographers who are legal residents of Canada (excluding Quebec) and over the age of majority.
