World Pentax Day: February 23-24, 2013

go out and shoot during this weekend!

By PF Staff in Giveaways and Events on Jan 23, 2013

The next World Pentax Day (WPD) is actually going to be a World Pentax Weekend and it will take place on Saturday and Sunday, February 23rd thru February 24th, 2013.  This is our thirteenth installment of the WPD and we hope to see as many members as possible partake in the event!

If you've never participated before, World Pentax Day is an event open to everyone in which you simply go out and shoot, and then post your favorite photos in the special event gallery.  Thus, as community we will create a snapshot of what the world looked like during that day.

We encourage you to get together with your photo friends or local photo club and use this day as an excuse to go out and put your camera to good use, especially if this will be your first WPD.

We will also be giving away some nice manual Pentax lenses to three lucky particpants of WPD (winners will be drawn randomly)!

The rules of the event are simple! The photos you upload must:

• Be taken with a Pentax camera (or a rebadged clone)
• Be taken on February 23rd or 24th, 2013 in your timezone

Starting on February 23rd you will be able to upload up to 5 of your favorite photos to the event gallery, which is linked below.

Upload to the World Pentax Day Gallery

The link above will go live on the 23rd, and the gallery will remain open through March 12th.  Once again, only photos taken on 2/23/2013 or 2/24/2013 may be uploaded to this gallery.

• Request an e-mail reminder of this event
• RSVP on Facebook
