CEA and Eye-Fi Solicit Photos for ‘Best Shots’ Contest

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® today launched its fourth annual digital photo contest in partnership with Eye-Fi, maker of the world’s first wireless memory card. The grand prize winner, to be announced January 11, 2013, at the 2013 International CES®, will receive a Canon EOS Rebel T3i and an Eye-Fi wireless SD memory card. All photo entries will be displayed at the LVH in the PMA@CES exhibits at the 2013 CES, the world’s largest innovation event. A slate of expert judges will select finalists in each category. Winners will be chosen via an online vote that will run from January 8 - 11, 2013.

Submission to the “Best Shots” contest will be accepted until December 16, 2012. Entrants can submit one photo in each of four categories: people, travel, pets and cellphone shots. Contestants can enter photos at CE.org/BestShots.

“Today, we are able to interact with photos in progressively more innovative ways with so many options to share, create and manipulate images,” said Grace Ellis, CEA spokeswoman. “Eye-Fi and CEA want to see what people can do with their ‘Best Shots.’”

Prize packages are as follows:

One Grand Prize:

Canon EOS Rebel T3i with Eye-Fi Wireless Memory SD Card

Four Top Prizes (one camera winner per category):

The explosion of digital camera options available in today’s market has increased the number of images captured. According to CEA research, family, friends, natural scenery and pets are the top subjects photographed. Additionally, as smartphone household penetration grows, consumers are using their cellphones more often to capture spontaneous photos. Not only are they taking more photos, but they are also emailing photos to others and posting to social networks once they are captured.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
