The Results of “American Flag By Your Eyes” Photography contest!

Hello all,

so I now finally know the results of the photography contest that I have been longing to know for the last three months! Two out of five photos that I sent in the photography contest “Americká vlajka Tvýma očima” of the American Center of US Embassy in Prague as my portfolio for the American Flag photography contest won a prize!

Actually, out of nearly 300 photos submitted in the contest, a total of 10 prizes were given to 10 best photos, which are currently being exhibited at the American Center as a part of the contest, and I won 2 of them! 2 out of 10! I am so happy!!!

The 4th place for my photo of reflection of American flag on the Vietnam War memorial:

(Vietnam War Memorial, Washington, DC – July 4, 2008)

…and the 9th place for the photo of the Wall Street:

(Wall Street, New York City – July 30, 2008)

I am especially happy about the results as this is the first photography contest ever, where I sent my pictures, I just started taking photography seriously only very recently, and 2 of my photos were already selected in the TOP 10 winners of the whole competition!

For those living in Prague, the exhibit is taking place at the American Center of US Embassy on Trziste. All 10 winning photos will also be published in the next issue of travel magazine 100+1!

Now that I got an impulse like this, I promise I will continue with photography and will be taking much more pictures and posting them here!

Just need to get over the exam season at the University of Glamorgan, where I am currently getting my Erasmus exchange experience, and do all the assessments for the lectures first…

After then, I’m all yours again!

Martina
