I’m up for the Google Photography Prize
Competition closes-31st May
Shortlist are announced for voting-11th June
Final winner is announced-23rd June
Artists have always created work for public places. Why should the internet be any different?
We have opened up iGoogle, our personalised homepage, as the digital canvas for your creativity. We invite you to submit your compelling photography and bring your art online to a global audience.
36 shortlisted entries will be turned into iGoogle themes, shown on Google and put to public vote.
6 finalists will be exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery London, and reviewed by our independent jury. The finalists will be invited to the private view of the exhibition on 23rd June 2009 (with travel and accommodation included).
1 winner will receive a £5,000 ($7500 USD) bursary and an invite to spend a day with Martin Parr.
See Competition Terms & Conditions for full details of the prizes.
The photographs you submit for the theme may be an extension of your current work, or something completely new. It could reflect information that’s important to you, or express your wish make the online world more beautiful or interesting. Each of your five photographs will display at different points in the day as the iGoogle theme changes dynamically over time. Your theme, with its five different states, will together form a portrait of your work and your aesthetic. There is no theme for entries, and we are interested in photographs from all disciplines, from portrait to fashion, documentary to abstract.
The images you submit will be turned into an iGoogle theme. The public vote and the judges will see the images as an iGoogle theme. We need to receive your images in the right format: this is really important, otherwise they will not work as a theme.
The iGoogle theme will look like this:
The themes span the top of the page, so you need to submit an image with a width of 1000px and a height of 175px.
The iGoogle logo search bar and links will cover some of the artwork, so you should avoid having the main subjects in these areas so that they are not obscured. Bear in mind that the position and size of iGoogle logo, searchbar and links will vary slightly between browsers, so exact position on artwork cannot be guaranteed.
You can use this Adobe Photoshop™ file to format your work correctly.
If you are selected as 1 of the 6 finalists we will be projecting your work at the the Saatchi Gallery London. To do this we will require high resolution versions of your photographs so please hold on to the original files.
The entries will be judged according to the following criteria:
Don’t forget to check out the iGoogle themes from famous artists that have already attempted the challenge at the iGoogle artists gallery. If you traditionally take portrait photographs, or a lot of the work in your portfolio is not in the current format then why not try one of these tips from some of our current theme creators to make the most of your images and the iGoogle format:
Our new identity is an expression of vitality, which is at the heart of everything we do – our brands, our people and our values. Each icon within our logo represents an aspect of our business.The refererence is from the uniliver official site.
Unilever is a multi-national corporation, formed of British and Dutch parentage, that owns many of the world’s consumer product brands in foods, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products. Unilever employed 174,000 people and had a worldwide revenue of €40.5 billion in 2008.
Our mission is to add Vitality to life. We meet everyday needs for nutrition, hygiene and personal care with brands that help people look good, feel good and get more out of life.
Vitality is at the heart of everything we do. It’s in our brands, our people and our values.
Vitality means different things to different people. Some see it as energy, others view it more broadly as a healthy state of body and mind – of feeling alive.
Whatever their personal definition, millions of people around the world use our products daily to add Vitality to their lives – whether that’s through feeling great because they’ve got shiny hair and a brilliant smile, keeping their homes fresh and clean, or by enjoying a great cup of tea, satisfying meal or healthy snack.
Ever since the 19th Century when William Hesketh Lever stated that the company’s mission was “to make cleanliness commonplace; to lessen work for women; to foster health and contribute to personal attractiveness, that life may be more enjoyable and rewarding for the people who use our products,” Vitality has been at the heart of our business.
Vitality defines what we stand for: our values, what makes us different, and how we contribute to society. It’s the common thread that links our brands and it’s central to the unique way we operate around the world.
Our Vitality mission commits us to growing our business by addressing health and nutrition issues. We focus on priorities including children and family nutrition, cardiovascular health and weight management.
Our culture also embodies Vitality. Adding Vitality to life requires the highest standards of behaviour towards everyone we work with, the communities we touch and the environments on which we have an impact.
The growing demand for more Vitality in life provides us with a huge opportunity for growth. The way we work and the products we develop are shaped by consumer trends, along with the need to help raise health and hygiene standards in both the developing and industrialised regions of the world.

I rarely comment, however i did a few searching
and wound up here creative writing | Dastagirda’s Blog. And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be just me or does it appear like some of these comments come across like left by brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are posting on additional social sites, I’d
like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post.
Could you make a list of every one of your shared pages like your twitter
feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
