Philadelphia is a small village 40km north of Cape Town. It has roughly 400 residents, a police station, 2 schools, a large graveyard, a handful of shops, 2 churches and 2 restaurants. And now it has its first digital newsheet: The Philadelphia Bugle: providing insight, facts and opinions about this tiny town tucked away amongst the fields and vineyards.

Philadelphia Bugle Photographic Contest

No longer autumn, not quite the depths of winter. It seems that in the time it takes to pull a woolly jumper over your head that the rich brown freshly ploughed fields have turned green with young crop shootlets. Puddles to splosh through and the smell of wood fires in the early evening air are still a novelty, not the norm.

 

Get out your camera and capture your version of this transient time in Philadelphia in pixels (or on paper). The choice is yours: still life, scenery, an owl at 5am, laundry day, a face, a place, a hobby, a house, a visual ode to the cauliflower patch in your garden. The time has come to push the button.

 

The Rules:

 

2 photos per entrant.

Email entries to gargoyle@iafrica.com

Keep files below 1Mb per picture. If the file is large or the photo is on paper drop it off at The Klipdakhuis, 23 Baken St or at P. O. Box 88, Philadelphia.

You have a month, until the 30th of June 2009, to submit your efforts. 

 

The Prize:

 

A bottle of very limited edition 2009 Baken St Beaujolais.

  1. Would you consider extending the deadline until mid-July? There are some people I know that would like to enter but have a full schedule for June. Also, can we submit a description or background with our photograph?
