It’s a little hard to find the deadline for the Atlanta Photojournalism Contest on their website. The deadline for receipt of entries is Nov. 18, 2009. I can’t seem to find the archive of past winners online, but if you aren’t already familiar with the contest, they usually reward great work.

And if you’re going to attend the workshop, be sure to check out the presentation by friends of dva and Luceo Images founding members David Walter Banks (previously interviewed) and Kendrick Brinson; they’ll be giving what should be an interesting and useful talk, “Life After Newspapers“

Tuition-free VJ Multimedia Workshop - Jun 21 deadline

Paul Myers just wrote in to tell us about the new VJ Multimedia Workshops for students and recently laid-off journalists. Myers, a faculty member at the Brooks Institute of Photography, created the workshop as a way to foster development and innovation in the field of visual journalism. There’s a great roster of staff and guest speakers and editors on board for the weekend. The workshop will take place July 30-Aug. 2, 2009 in Ventura, Calif., USA, and the deadline for applying is June 21, 2009.

Peter Terzian is writing about his experience in Martin Parr’s School of Life workshop on the Isle of Wight for Slate.com. Three parts have been published so far, and I’m not sure that there will be any more. Click onward to read Learning To Take Photographs the Martin Parr Way, Welcome to Parr-World, and The Importance of Being Earnest, for a bit of background on the School of Life, about which the New York Times has also written.
