Contests

Memorial Day means a lot of things to a lot of people, but for many, it's the official start of summer. And that means it's time to barbecue. Since we don't want anyone slouching on their photographic pursuits this weekend, we're giving you an assignment to get out there and capture that barbecue as best you can. The winner will receive a Lowepro SlingShot 200 AW camera bag worth $110.

The little town of Bethlehem—Pennsylvania that is—will host an all-new photography festival the weekend of November 5 through 7, and if you're a photo student your work could be a part of it. Called InVision, the festival will take place at the Banana Factory, the town's main arts venue. (The building actually was once a banana distribution warehouse, complete with the tarantulas that like to go along for the ride.) It will feature slide talks by top shooters such as National Geographic's Nick Nichols and renowned fine-art photographer Larry Fink, a printing workshop by former U.N.
