OUR FREE PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST RECOMMENDATION OF THE DAY! Message from the President Welcome to the 37th Nikon Photo Contest 2018-2019! Photography has long been a familiar and universal means of communication. But it is truly amazing how fast the culture of photography continues to expand as the Digital Age evolves. With tremendous vitality and creativity, countless numbers of people of all ages now use it to share their impressions, experiences and stories on social media. Against this backdrop, we are delighted to mark the 50th anniversary of our first Nikon Photo Contest. Ever since 1969, we have been fostering this international contest to give photographers a chance to express themselves to the world. We at Nikon have witnessed and embraced many changes in the world of photographic expression, but our devotion to creating an even richer photographic culture with all those who love photography will never change. We have chosen 'Change' as the theme for the Open Award in the Nikon Photo Contest 2018-2019. We are all experiencing and adapting to the rapid changes occurring in today's world, but the significance of change varies for each one of us. We would like you to share your personal photographic expressions of 'Change'. The theme for the Next Generation Award, targeted at those 25 years old and under, is 'Identity'. We are living in a time when more and more value is placed on individuality, with far more opportunities for self-expression than ever before, thanks to the increase in popularity of SNS platforms across the world. We look forward to your unique submissions that show us who you are. The theme for the Short Film Award is 'Hope', the positive state of mind that encourages us to take a step forward toward the future. We invite you to show us powerful video works full of hope that will illuminate the path to the future. The aim of the Nikon Photo Contest is to support the growth of the global community of people who are able to influence others through the common language of photography, irrespective of age or level of photographic experience. We regard it as a forum where people with a passion for photography can gather to enhance their skills through competition, celebrate the changing times, acknowledge each other's efforts, find stimulation in different points of view, and help make photography an even more vital part of everyday life. The contest also provides all of us at Nikon with inspiration. It serves as a springboard to help us continue to develop better technologies and enhance customer satisfaction, to promote the attractions of innovative photography and ways to appreciate it, and to steadily construct a new and global photographic culture network. We make every effort to create initiatives that will enable more and more people to enjoy the benefits. We enthusiastically invite you to take part in the Nikon Photo Contest 2018-2019. Our hope is that you will see it as an unparalleled opportunity to share with the world your unique photographic take on the themes of Change, Identity and Hope. Inspire the world with works that embody your perspective on life. Prizes Grand Prize(No. of Prizes : 1)

The contests are free to enter. The winner of each will receive a Camtraptions camera trap sensor, an f-stop voucher, a Breakthrough Photography filter, a Cotton Carrier harness and a copy of Skylum Luminar. Our favourite overall category winner will also go on to win the grand prizes for the 2018 contest series; a 7-day luxury African safari for two courtesy of The Bushcamp Company and Safarious, and a Panasonic G9 camera plus Panasonic Leica 50-200mm f/2.8-4.0 lens. Prizes Luxury African Safari We have an amazing grand prize: a 7-day luxury African safari for two courtesy of The Bushcamp Company and Safarious with a total value exceeding US $12,000! The Bushcamp Company operates Mfuwe Lodge (of Elephants in Reception Fame) and also six small luxury bushcamps in a pristine region of South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. The winner will be able to pick a combination of these camps to stay in! They will find themselves immersed in a remote, unspoiled African wilderness with incredible wildlife-viewing opportunities. Panasonic G9 and 50-200mm f2.8-4.0 lens This year’s overall contest series winner will receive a Panasonic Lumix G9 camera and a Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50-200mm f/2.8-4.0 ASPH lens! The G9 sits at the top of Panasonic’s range of cameras and has an incredible set of features which make it perfect for nature photographers. The camera’s ability to capture up to 50 images per second gives you a better chance of capturing the perfect shot in an action sequence, and a “high-resolution” mode allows you to take stunning 80 megapixel still images, ideal for landscapes. The G9 also boasts 4K video resolution at 60 frames per second! Taking into account the crop factor of the G9’s Micro Four Thirds sensor, the Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50-200mm f/2.8-4.0 gives the equivalent of a 100mm-400mm focal length – a perfect range for wildlife photography. Furthermore, the fast f/2.8-4.0 aperture enables higher shutter speeds to freeze the motion of fast-moving subjects. Panasonic has used a nano surface coating to eliminate flare and ghosting and the lens has been designed to be dust, moisture and freeze-proof! Camtraptions Sensor The winner of each of the three contests will also receive a Camtraptions Camera Trap Sensor worth $200. The Camtraptions sensor turns a DSLR camera into a high-quality camera trap for photographing nocturnal or elusive wildlife.

OUR FREE PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST RECOMMENDATION OF THE DAY! After the conclusion of ‘The Moment’ season, a new chapter of creativity and inspiration begins with the eighth season of competition titled, ‘Hope’. This new concept will no doubt have countless interpretations that will test talented photographers from around the world in their quest for photographic excellence.
This season, HIPA will introduce a new form of dialogue which is commonly shared by various human civilizations and cultures. ‘Hope’ is a dialogue that calls for the strengthening and consolidating of our ideologies and behaviour patterns, it is an infinite fuel for life. Last season, the ‘Time-lapse’ category was a pleasant surprise for photographers that were eager to keep up with the latest trends and developments in the photographic industry. As a result, the category produced a large number of stunning submissions that impressed millions of photography enthusiasts around the world. This season’s surprise comes in the shape of an aerial challenge set out to photographers, which will be the ‘Aerial Photography’ video category. This challenge will open the door for thrill-seeking lovers of aircraft photography and videography to produce unforgettable works that will no doubt transcend reality by imagination. For the third season in succession, the ‘Portfolio’ category returns. This category once again demonstrated its strength, with some of the most fascinating submissions in the previous edition of HIPA. Likewise, the ‘General’ category returns and is set to delve into the creative minds of photographers, affording them a full remit to express themselves through black and white or coloured submissions.
