When I was a photo student, we were always encouraged to enter contests to get a sense of our own abilities and to be inspired by what others were doing.
Back in the day, we shot film, developed it, had to make prints in the darkroom, had to make 35mm transparencies of those prints, find slide pages, edit on light tables, then package, label and buy stamps to ship the images … oh those good old days of building perseverance. Technology has come so far since then, making the creative workflow more productive with less.
This week, Apple will further demonstrate its commitment to education, inspiration and creative expression by reaching out to the community of photography students. Apple will host and sponsor a one-day immersive contest called the Insomnia Photo Festival and is inviting students to submit original works. This Friday, April 27, at 5pm EDT, Apple will post an assignment for student photographers to shoot. The photography is to be judged by respected professionals in the field. Winners will receive prizes selected from Apple’s highly acclaimed product line. So for those of you waiting to convert from PC to Mac, this just might be your chance. Check out the the details in the above links and get ready to get started. No excuses.

I need some help here. I can't find the links that give instructions for the contest anywhere! Please email something to me that will point me in the right direction. Thanks~
Hi -- If you click on the "Insomnia Photo Festival" link above, go to the Apple student area and you'll see the assignment. Unfortunately, however, the assignment was posted at 5pm Friday and submissions had to be made by 5pm Saturday, April 28. There are other links on the page, though, that you might find helpful.
