Citing difficulty experienced by those trying to upload their entries, Worldpress Photo has extended the 2010 contest deadline to Jan. 17.

Our calendar has been updated.

Also, in speaking with others, it seems like twitter would be a natural way to keep people informed about deadlines. We’ve begun using the #photocalendar hashtag (rss for #photocalendar)

As has sometimes happened in previous years, so many people tried to submit at once on the day of the deadline that some of them could not get through, or experienced random errors.

In order to ease the crunch and allow everyone who has been trying to submit to get their work in, the deadline has been extended to Jan 17, 2010. -Magenta

Magenta’s Flash Forward 2010 deadline has been extended to January 17, 2010.  Good to hear if you missed the deadline.  The contest is open to “All photographers in Canada, the UK and the US, 34 years of age and under….”  Our calendar has been updated.  Here’s the 2009 list of winners, which includes plenty of familiar names.  Also, in addition to the yearly Flash Forward competition, Magenta plans a bi-annual Flash Forward Festival, the first of which will happen in October 2010.

We’re going to start posting our deadline calendar on a monthly basis in the interest of making it more visible. The calendar can be accessed in a web browser, or with ical or xml applications. If you know of any upcoming deadlines not on the list, please send them to deadlines@dvafoto.com.

Just got recent word that two photocontests that were to be closing on December 1st have been extended to Monday December 7th.

As always you can visit Dvafoto’s Deadline Calendar for a roundup of upcoming deadlines on grants and awards. (It is also available as a rss feed and is able to be synced with your own calendar software, but I can’t figure out how to link those here. It is also listed on the bottom of our sidebar over on the right–> Update by Scott: And it’s at the top of this post.). I have a few more listings to add this evening that have come across my radar recently, so check back later. Feel free to send Scott or I your suggestions on items to add to the list if you come across something worthy that we haven’t put up. Happy editing!

The Atlanta Photojournalism Contest deadline has been pushed back to Friday, Nov. 20, 2009 at 11:55pm US Eastern time.

I know plenty of people are following our dvafoto Deadline Calendar, which you can always find on the right-hand column on our site. I just wanted to send out a reminder that a number of popular grants and contests are coming due, because they definitely caught me off guard.

Also two big European awards from manufacturers are due now: the Linhof Young Photographer Award has a postmark date of Tuesday March 31 and the Hasselblad Masters Awards (with a handy ‘up and coming’ category) has an online submission due Wednesday April 1. All of these have free entry.

Lastly Hey Hot Shot’s next entry period is due May 1st, online submission for $60.

So finish your edits. There are more prizes down the line, be sure to keep your eyes on the calendar which we’ll update when we can with the prizes and grants that we’re interested in. Feel free to email us suggestions for things we’re missing and we’ll work on sharing them too.

UPDATE: Since posting this earlier I’ve found a few more things that are happening this week: Px3: Prix de la Photographie Paris has apparently extended their deadline until Tuesday March 31, with student and pro categories. Also you can submit for exhibitions at two major photojournalism festivals: Visa Pour L’Image is due Friday April 3 and The Noorderlicht International Photofestival has submissions due Saturday April 4. Good luck!

Sorry about the distinct slacking of posting here on Dva in the last week or two by both M. Scott and myself. He is on the road in China without easy access to the internet (not to mention he is better out shooting rather than blogging anyways) and I am in full-on crisis mode getting ready for a major change in my life. On January 16 I am leaving Seattle for New York and DC, to cover the inauguration and field meetings with all of the fine editors in the City, before heading to my new home of Belgrade in the first week of February. I have much more to share about this trip and this relocation, and I’ll be sure to write more here in the coming weeks, but first I must take care of all the massive to-do lists I have lying around… I’m sure you can understand.

Also stressful: Why is January 15th the deadline for all of the photo contests, grant and proposals I have on my calendar? As you can see on our Dvafoto Deadline Calendar (helpfully listed on the bottom-right corner of the site and available as a feed to go straight in to your calendar software) there is a lot coming due including POYi, World Press Photo, Days Japan and Px3 Paris. Get on your contest horse everyone and good luck! We’ll chat soon again.

(Oh, and if you are in New York or DC, or Belgrade/Prishtina, and want to meet up when I swing through I’d love to meet some of our readers. Especially if you’re an editor! Get in touch via email or the comments.)

The Aftermath Project: Grant Deadline: November 3rd.

We’ve already had this listed in the Dva Calendar for awhile now but Mary Virginia Swanson, on her blog ‘Marketing Photos with..’, just put out a nice invocation to apply for the grant and recognize of the work of the Aftermath Project’s founder Sara Terry (who was previously mentioned here on my post about the Blue Earth Alliance competition).

So, let this be your final reminder: DEADLINE NOVEMBER 3rd.
