This is an excellent opportunity and I think there will be plenty of applicants to choose from. Also, this is incentive for me to finish my fucking website.

Here is this smart guy who does his longstanding and very influential blog for free, holding a contest that is free to enter. His interviews are enlightening on a consistent basis. Would you all be happier if you got a blue ribbon for winning? A digital camera? What would make this good in your book? Clearly this contest is about discovering and enjoying new photography. Can that not be enough? I’m so dissapointed that people are mocking this contest but consistently lining up for these cash cow contests put out almost monthly by PDN.

The only problem I find with CPC, as well as most other portfolio contests, is that it is aimed at the fine art photographer. You don't find contests calling for full portfolios of commercial photographers who often have great single images, not just large bodies of work. @A Photo Editor,

I think an interview is a good prize since so many gallerists read his blog.
