2007: International VR Photography Conference in Berkeley

Note: The 2007 contest has concluded.

The first official IVRPA contest is organized to coincide with the International VR Photography Conference in Berkeley.

The IVRPA would like to recognize and reward its members for work well done, and provide a showcase of some of the best work in photographic VR. We urge our members to excel, be creative and imaginative, and challenge them to create photographic works which are as good as they possibly can be.

Dates and General Information

The last day for submission to the Contest is Thursday May 31, 2007. Entries are closed June 1, 2007. All dates and times are -0800 GMT.

Current members of the IVRPA can enter up to four (4) images in the contest at no cost. For as little as US$25, non-IVRPA members may throw their hat into the ring -- and gain the benefits of entry level membership in the IVRPA to boot!
