<p><strong>Criteria:</strong> Each submitted photograph will be judged on the photographer’s ability to portray a real life wedding moment with impact. Please see the many, excellent examples of such photographs accompanying the interview with Marcus Bell in the October newsletter. As such, the winning photograph should be undirected and not camera-aware. All photographs should have been taken at a wedding.</p>

Eastern Standard Time, when it will be closed. The winner will be announced some time during the week following the close of submissions.</p>

<p><strong>Prize:</strong> One winner will be selected by Marcus Bell, whose sole decision is final. The winner will receive the <a href="http://us.photographersresources.com/_product_57699/The_Master_Collection"><strong>Marcus Bell Master Collection (effects and actions), value $695USD</strong></a>.
