Photographers: Dream Big - Then Grab Your Passports

March 9, 2009 - Daydreaming about Anguilla's coastline at sunset? Taking a canoe down the Taramakau River? Or standing inside Mount Kenya's Ice Cave? If you're a U.S. resident with a camera and a vision, you could make your dream come true in Lenovo's first-ever "Name Your Dream Assignment" photo contest.

From March 3 to April 3, 2009, U.S. residents of any skill level will have a chance to win $50,000 to shoot a dream photo assignment anywhere in the world. In addition to $50,000, the grand-prize winner will also receive a digital camcorder and the Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds with Microsoft Windows Vista to take on the journey. Photographers can enter their ideas and with clear, succinct explanations at www.nameyourdreamassignment.com. Each participant may submit up to three ideas.

Participants don't just enter this contest - they'll help select the winner. A public online vote and a panel of expert judges will determine the outcome. The panel will also take into consideration skill and experience. Two runners-up will also receive the Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds with Microsoft Windows Vista.
