Stouffville, Ontatio’s Grant Cronyn of First 3rd Productions was the grand prize winner of a Canon EOS 7D following Vistek’s Toronto & Ottawa product launch events. How did he win, you ask? Easy as pie – he simply attended the event and his name was drawn from a hat (ok, it might not have been an actual hat. The point it… his name was randomly chosen.)

Stay tuned for Vistek’s next exciting event… you never know what exciting giveaways might be in store!

Vistek is currently accepting submissions for photographers interested in participating in the 2010 Contact Photography Festival. We will provide free gallery space at our Toronto and Mississauga locations. More details to follow.

For 2010, CONTACT is honouring Marshall McLuhan on the 30th anniversary of his death, with a thematic focus that will consider the ways in which photography informs and transforms human behavior. The festival will present images that examine connections between mass media, advertising, art and photography. This includes conceptual approaches to photography that utilize the codes of advertising, the language of consumerism, the stylization of marketing campaigns and the force of propaganda. Photojournalism and socially concerned documentary photography will provide a realist-based examination of the emotional and political impact of images and their effect on society and culture. CONTACT 2010 will explore the personal and social consequences of the medium of photography, in a society devoted to the image.

If you’re interested in being a part of this year’s event, you’re asked to send a sample of 5 web res. images along with a CV and short statement about you & your work to Camila Gargantini.

Submissions to be part of the Vistek showcase must be received no later than November 26/09.
