It’s time for another PetaPixel giveaway! This week I’m giving away a Streetwalker backpack by Think Tank Photo.

To enter, all you need to do is answer the following question:

If you could photograph anywhere in the world, where would you go?

There are two ways to enter this giveaway. You can send us your answer both ways to double your chances:

  1. Leave a comment on this entry with your response
  2. Tweet your response, and include the following link to this post so we can find it: http://bit.ly/ppsw. Here’s an example tweet:

    My dream place to photograph would be Cambodia! http://bit.ly/ppsw

This giveaway will end in a week on Saturday August 15th, 2009. We’ll randomly select an entry and send the Streetwalker to the winner.

Good luck! I look forward to reading your responses!


Update on August 13th, 2009 at 11:42 PST: Don’t worry if your tweet entry doesn’t show up in the reactions list below the comments. I wrote a script that automatically collects every tweet submission neatly into a table, weeding out multiple tweets and such. Just make sure the URL we gave (http://bit.ly/ppsw) appears somewhere in the tweet. This is what we search for to collect the entries. If you included it, we got your entry.

206 tweet entries so far at the time of writing this update.

    Question: how are you conducting the random drawing? You mention that it is going to be random, but will it really? Just curious because this part of the contest (disclosure of method used to select random winner) is quite important.

    Thanks!
  • Hi Eugene,

    Glad you asked. We always use http://random.org to pick a random entry out of the ones we receive.

    Good luck!
  • Thanks Michael.

    I was actually going to suggest using random.org for the drawing if you said you weren't using this service (I've also used random.org before and was impressed with the ease of use). Now, are you making the drawing entrant-accessible, so that those who entered the contest can check if they were entered into the drawing (either by entering their email address or twitter handle)?
  • Though I live in arguably one the best places to photograph...Maui...I'd have to say I've never had as much fun shooting as I did the month I spent in Seattle. Set out on foot (by the way, a nice bag would make that easier...hint, hint, wink, wink)...and in several miles of exploring you can find a bazillion different things to catch the eye and capture the mind.
  • coblaze

    My dream place to photograph would in my local community. There are so many things that get ignored, unseen, or unacknowledged. These things need to be documented and put in the forefront of the community's face to raise community awareness of the unseen so the community can address these issues.

  • Very hard to choose just one place, so, randomly chosen, my dream place to photograph is France.
  • alexcoady

  • dahak_z
    Well, not so down to Earth speaking, in the broader sense of the word 'world', I'd really go and photograph the Universe, if one could only explore it. Think of all the nebulas, alien planets, and other unseen phenomena. Could result in quite some awesome photos.

    On a more down to Earth tone, i'd make a one year (or more years, however long it takes), of all the world's national parks. That could also result in quite some awesome photographs.

    Cheers
  • I think I could photograph sunrises/sunsets in Hawaii forever and never be board. There is something about the ocean landscape...

  • Dream place to photograph? For starters, how about while hiking in every state park in North Carolina (my state)! There is beauty in every person's state/region/country if we would only take the time to get out and explore it! A new pack would come in handy for this! :-)
