World PENTAX Day: June 18th, 2011 general info/questions
Posted By: Adam, 06-02-2011, 11:37 PM

Hello everyone,

This will serve as the official discussion/question thread for our 10th installment of the World Pentax Day event, which will take place on June 18th, 2011.

Overview of the Event


The full details can be found on our homepage. In a nutshell, this is an event in which Pentax users from around the world all go out and shoot on the same day (individually or in groups, it's up to you) and then post photos in a collective gallery. Photos must be taken on June 18th, but can be uploaded between then and the end of the month into the gallery. Each photographer may upload up to 5 photos.

RSVP to the event on the official PENTAX facebook page: World PENTAX Day | Facebook

>> Click here to upload (page opens on June 18th) <<

Giveaway

In addition to the main event, we will be giving away one Pentax limited lens to a lucky participant (it will likely be the DA 40mm). The more photos you post (remember that the limit is 5), the higher your chances are of winning!

After uploading your photos, all you will have to do is post in a thread stating you'd like to partake in the giveaway (it is open to users worldwide) as well as like us on facebook. Also, you will have to visit the facebook page of our sponsor. That's it - we'll take care of the rest!

Full details on the event are in this separate thread, and questions related to the giveaway should go there:

How come "World Pentax Day" comes around so often? There was one in February, and one last August... whats up with that? World anything Day is usually an annual event, and more meaningful for its being less frequent... just sayin'

We're aiming to make it quarterly, it's just that in the past I haven't had the time to keep a streak going tongue

My thoughts exactly! Is there an honor system for us film Pentaxians, or is the challenge simply limited to digi?

Yes, it is- usually the scanner info ends up in the exif anyway, so you should be fine

But if you take the picture on the 18th, it's a race to scan it the same day. If you take it the week before, just scan on the 18th - well that’s not what the day is about, is it?

Is the winner drawn randomly or is someone or a group of persons will actually view the image and vote on it? If the latter, who will be choosing the winner? Finally will the image have to fit the "pentax day theme" or any other theme or just taken on that day.

Thank you!
