Prizes: In addition to landing the cover of a 2009 edition of Professional Photographer, the winner will be awarded prizes from our cover photo contest sponsors, Bogen Imaging, Canon, Kodak, Emotion Media, and White House Custom Colour. Prizes will also be awarded to second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-place winners, and as many as 20 entrants could receive prizes with an honorable mention.

Eligibility: Images will be judged on technical and artistic merit.
