Johannesburg, 2nd February 2007 – On 24 February 2007<\/strong>, PhotographySA.com and the Bag Factory will organize the PhotographySA.com photomarathon 2007 :: Johannesburg<\/strong>. A photomarathon is an event, characterized by great length and concentrated effort and typically lasting 12 to 24 hours, where participants obtain a series of photographs on predefined subjects or themes. The city of Johannesburg has been selected for its unique dynamics and vibrancy and because of the large amount of active photographers and the relative lack of profiling opportunities for them.<\/p>\n

The 2007 photomarathon will start at 8am on 24 February 2007 and will last for 12 hours. Each four hours, participants will receive four new themes at a new venue, moving throughout downtown Johannesburg. At the end of the event, at 8pm on the same day, participants have to submit exactly one photograph for each theme. In the week following, there will be a panel discussion by various prominent photographers working in Johannesburg and a professional jury will decide on a winning series and winning photographs from the photomarathon event.  The winners will be announced at an exhibition of the works that will be hosted at the Bag Factory from 15 March.<\/p>\n

To give every photographer the opportunity to participate, digital and analogue photographers can participate in separate categories. Participation costs 50 Rand, but early birds get a discount. Bronwyn Lace, the education officer for About Art, says "This is an enormous opportunity for both up-and-coming and established photographers to compete in a singular event in downtown Jo’burg."<\/em><\/p>\n

More information can be obtained straight from the website PhotographySA.com<\/a> or by contacting Babak Fakhamzadeh at admin@photographysa.com<\/a> or Bronwyn Lace at bronwyn@bagfactoryart.org.za<\/a>. Participants can register through the website and in person at The Bag Factory.<\/p>\n

About Art is the Bag Factory’s art education programme which focuses on stimulating, enriching and advancing the careers of professional practicing artists within its local community as well as its wider arts network. PhotographySA.com is a cooperative adventure of Ismail Farouk<\/strong>, and Rat Western<\/strong>, artists from Johannesburg and Babak<\/strong> Fakhamzadeh<\/strong>, traveling web guru from Iran. With the 2007 Johannesburg photomarathon, PhotographySA.com and About Art aim to bring together established and developing photographers in an adventurous and creative event which will truly cross boundaries.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
