Lumix Award
| Deadline: March 31st, 2009 |
Judging the best in digital photography
Deadline: 31st March 2009
This year’s theme: Living Planet
Celebrate an extraordinary place to live – Earth.
We live on an incredible planet. From the biggest, bustling metropolises, to seemingly barren plains, our planet is bursting with all kinds of life. We’re its beneficiaries, and its caretakers.
What makes our planet so alive? Is it the more than 6.5 billion human beings going about their business? The changing climate, or conservation efforts? Is it frenetic cities or untamed wilderness?
Turn your photographic eye towards our amazing planet and show us what you see – and you could win some fantastic prizes.
About the award
The Lumix Award is awarded each year to celebrate excellence in digital photography.
It was established in 2003 to showcase the unique creativity associated with digital photography – no longer bound by the constraints of 35mm film cameras.
Each year’s competition centres on a different creative theme. Previous themes have included “Man and Machine” (2003), “Perfect Place” (2004), “Everyday Adventures” (2005), “Same Sights – Different Views” (2006), and “Capture your Culture” (2007). This year’s theme is “Living Planet”.
How it works
Upload your images exploring the theme “Living Planet” for your chance to either become a monthly or overall Lumix Award winner.
You can enter one image per month for the 2008 Lumix Award before the closing date on 31 March 2009.
Each photograph you submit will be entered into the monthly competition, and will also go into the running to win the overall prize. Your photographs will be judged by professional photographers.
Please note: all photographs entered must be taken with a digital camera.
Overall prize
Win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to one of the world’s natural wonders – the Eden Project in Cornwall, England.
The overall winner of the Lumix Award competition – the single best digital still image we receive – will win a 5-day trip for two to Cornwall, England, including two 3-day passes to the Eden Project, where the winner and his/her guest can experience and explore its global garden.
The winner will also receive a Lumix DMC-G1 digital camera. This versatile camera offers you an amazing photographic power being incredibly light and packed with smart features in an extremely small and stylish body. Take it with you everywhere. It’s the perfect camera for this year’s Lumix Award theme.

Two lucky runners-up will receive the brilliant compact Lumix LX3, a digital camera featuring true 16:9 format.

Every month for the duration of the competition one winner will be chosen by a member of the judging panel from a shortlist to win a Lumix FZ28 Digital camera.
