M.I.L.K. Photo Competition

« Winning in competitions gives your professional resume and photography added credibility and valuable recognition. »

M.I.L.K. Photo Competition To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original M.I.L.K. competition, M.I.L.K. Licensing (now a subsidiary of PQ Blackwell), again in association with Elliott Erwitt, is conducting a new competition founded on the themes of friends, families, lovers and laughter to create a new collection of 150 images. The 150 winning images will be published in a new book entitled Fresh M.I.L.K.: Friends, Families, Lovers & Laughter in Fall 2009, and on selected licensed products.

We are seeking outstanding images (electronic only, no prints) that capture authentic, spontaneous and humorous moments shared between friends, families and lovers around the world. The content of the images submitted should possess some or all of the following characteristics:

Images that celebrate friendship, family and love.
Images that tell stories and convey real emotion.
Images that evoke a humorous response.
Technical quality.

The prize pool is US$125,000 in cash. As required by New Zealand law, M.I.L.K. will pay withholding tax on behalf of the winners. The actual amount of withholding tax will vary slightly according to the country of residence of the ultimate winners. This arrangement may have tax advantages for winners.

The prizes are:

1 Grand Prize Winner: US$50,000
150 General Prize Winners: US$500

I am a lucky finalist BUT I have not yet received the promised US$500 even though, at your request, I have sent all data to enable payment by wire to my bank account in NYC quite some time ago. If it is relevant, my prior address was: phlaw1c@aol.com. it is now as indicated above. I have previously inquired, but no answer! CAN YOU HELP? TEL 212-595-5480, Fax: 212-595-5482
The winning image was “Joan & Jon” (mother and child making faces) posted on your web site of Finalists, Page 7, second image from left. PLEASE RESPOND!
Thanks, Len Speier

Len, first of all, my congratulations!!! I will be happy to publish on this web site your success story, if you want.
As for collecting your prize money, I have no contacts or leverage with the organizers unfortunately. I really hope you will eventually receive your prize! Please keep us updated on this.

Hi:
As a follow up, I would like to inform all you kind people that I wave received wire deposit of US$415 and thank you much. I know that $50 was deducted as withholding taxes in your country and I suspect that greedy American banks filched the rest. Nevertheless, I am delighted to receive the honorarium and look forward to seeing what the new book looks like. I hope we will be receiving a complimentary copy AND some print material and order forms. Best regards.
