***Welcome to the Orange Fashion Photo Contest — the most original photo contest on the grid!***

Orange Island and Prim Perfect Publications are sponsoring an innovative competition for teams of photographers, fashion designers and models throughout the week starting 25 August, 2008. Participants will have the chance to express their creative genius and demonstrate their originality and innovation as new themes and environments provide the focus for each day’s shooting. An impartial panel of judges will determine the winners.

As well as prizes for the winners of each daily competition, an overall Grand Prix will be awarded to the best picture of the week, as well as a “Most Consistent” award given to a team that has entered every day of the competition and has displayed consistent excellence.
