Submit ideas for names (as many as you’d like) by the May 31 deadline. Make ’em short and sweet, and do a search to determine if they’re already in use or registered to someone else.
What you’ll get: In exchange for assigning ASMP the rights to the winning name, the winner will get a prize package worth over $1500.00 including a PDF portfolio from Agency Access ($495 value), a PhotoShelter Pro Account free for 1 year ($549 value) , a one-hour consultation from Judy Herrmann of 2goodthings.com ($250 value), and a $250 gift certificate from Blurb.
You’ll also get some recognition — and the thanks of a grateful organization — no small thing.
Our illustrious judges: The judging panel is no small thing, either. It comprises: Ken Carbone, www.CarboneSmolan.com; Colleen Wainwright, www.Communicatrix.com; and Rob Haggert, www.aphotoeditor.com. These branding, communication and marketing experts will assign points based on how easy the name is to remember, how well it evokes what the resource does, and how appealing it is to the eye, ear and tongue. The name with the most points wins.
Our new resource will be packed with everything imaging professionals want to tell everyone else about. Articles, blogs, books, websites, videos, tutorials — whatever.
It is photography in all its glorious permutations — photojournalism, commercial, fine art, fashion, events, video, documentary, food, multimedia, weddings, architectural, nature — and more.
There will be info on negotiating, digital workflow, licensing, software, copyright, lenses, cameras, contracts, techniques, monitors, SEO, ISPs, ISOs, and everything else that even remotely applies.
Users will be able to review every post and everything on the resource is searchable by topic, original poster, reviewer, keyword, name, category, type, and popularity.
You’ve heard of Digg? StumbleUpon? Reddit? It’s like that, only just about photography, and all the content is entirely from the users. And hey, those are pretty clever names — easy to remember, easy to say and pretty evocative of what they do.
