Lenzr’s back again with two photo contests for September. The prizes for this round are sure to make photographers pay attention, but just in case you haven’t, here they are:
Classy Summer Drinks
The Classy Summer Drinks contest recognizes the power of a mouth-watering drink at the height of summer. Have you ever been stopped in your tracks by an impossibly good-looking drink? Have you ever made an impulse purchase based on a drink’s picture? Lenzr 
wants to be seduced by photos of your most delectable drinks under summertime conditions.
This contest is sponsored by a company devoted to providing the best stainless steel ice cube trays. The winner will receive a package of stainless steel containers, which can be customized by browsing the sponsor’s sizable catalogue.
A Manufacturing Process
You may know all about cameras, from ISOs to shutter speeds. But do you know how they are made?
Lenzr wants photographers to peer through closed factory doors in their newest contest, A Manufacturing Process. Capture exclusive photos of automated machinery performing some sort of manufacturing task to win.
The contest is a bit different this time because the winning photos are intended for the sponsor’s website. Specif
ically, the photos are meant for the sponsor’s pages on process manufacturing and lean manufacturing. The winner will license their photo to Solarsoft for $250, and so will three other runners-up (at $75 each). There’s also fair chance Solarsoft will feature winning photos on their site, but they are not obligated to do so.
Voting for both contests will begin on Sept. 15, 2011 and run until Sept. 25th. In each case, the 10 photos with the highest scores will advance to a panel of judges, and the winner will be announced on Oct. 1, 2011. Contests open to Canadians 13 years of age and older, but unfortunately it’s not valid in Quebec.
