FM104/Oxygen Photograph comp

Zxc

Just to draw the attention of those who might be interested.
I heard FM104 have a competition running this week where the prize is photographic access to Oxygen and to have photos printed in a national newspaper.
If this appeals, I'm sure the FM104 website probably has fuller details than I have written here.

FM104 is giving you a chance to become a photographer for a day at OXEGEN 2009 and take pictures of your favourite acts up close and personal in the photographer's pit! Your best photos will then be printed in The Sunday World, placed on the oxegen.ie website and FM104.ie. Plus 2 VIP tickets which will give you and your friend access to the VIP camping area and the VIP backstage area!


Thats on their site! Can't find any more info.

They give good prises though. My girlfriend has won stuff with them before I think.

VIP would b nice. Guessing they dont let the scum in so no fear of your tent being set on fire.

Question - With the MCD ban lifted can we talk about previous events?

The ultimate answer is 42

(Note: this has nothing to do with the FM104 question )

Setting tents on fire. This happens?

I won an Fm 104 rock photographer competition last year and I have to say it was one of the best nights I ever had. Since we can speak about it now, I shot Extreme 2 nights before my birthday and Nuno Bettencourt actually cam to Bruxelles with us afterwards, he even sang Happy Birthday to me.

Good luck to whoever wins it.

padocon

Good luck to anyone that entered!
I couldn't listen cause 1 i'm using Mac,
2. Not in Dublin

You serious? Guessing MCD suing everyone who mentioned what happened actually worked.

Gonna stop here as its way off topic and im not sure what the MCD discussion limits are.

I do event photography there last few years... once ya stat on the service roads and linger around the bck stage areas its not too bad, theres a million folk working there and all great banter, I detest walking into the campsites, even the vip...

Hi

I have answered all the questioned on fm 104 for the compitition to be a photographer at oxegen but whats bothering me is question number 2 . 7% of men did this when they were young boys and ran away???? and the clue that was said after was i stood there and got my football back. what was the answer i said Kicked a football trough a window. but i am not sure and its wrecking my head. So what was all your answers??

Not a particularly clever statement to be made considering what the fuss was about over the past couple of years.

MCD is to be treated like ANY other company or organisation now.

Please beware that the normal Libel issues apply to them as to anyone else. Please keep that in mind when posting.

I have not seen anything so far which has not been openly discussed in public extensively, though not on Boards as there was a ban imposed.

Hi,

Is competition still open and is anyone willing to give the answers or at least the questions?
(I'm not living in or around Dublin...)

Cheers,
pa.

Fajitas!

To be fair, it's a great weekend. VIP campsite makes a huge difference, there's no worries about safety.

That said, I really couldn't be arsed shooting it for anyone. I just want to go enjoy it.

faithy

I know thats what i was thinking. Yeah it is a photography comp but plenty of people will enter cos u get VIP Backstage and all that. I certainly wouldnt be bringing a lidl camera LOL

Placebo

i thought that too, it is a waste cos there are genuiely people who are interested in the photography part and dont care about the vip backstage stuff. I dont care for that, just the photographing the event would be amazing.

I think in the competition I entered they used their heads also, if you think about it really, out of all the people that entered the only one to win was a photographerand when I went to shoot the night I was told at the entrance no flash photography so they had to have thought the entrants through. Also to win I had to answer questions live on air, the questions put to me were easy enough for someone who knew about music, my husband was beside me giving the answers, the other contestant got questions that were so hard only a freak would know the answers to all of them, I think she got 1 right compared to my 5!

Fajitas!

The holy grail eh, I'd love to win this. There's a lot of great band worth photographing at this compared to EP's line up so far.

competitions like this do show how music photography is quickly becoming an area of photography it's almost impossible to make good money out of. The 'winner' gets to have their photos printed in the newspaper, probably meaning that one of the staff photographers won't be shooting this event this year.

i wonder if newspapers started giving photographic access to other news events in exchange for the right to use photos would people be as quick to enter the 'competition'

Aye

"Be in to win.. One lucky winner gets to be official Sunday World photographer at the latest gangland murder funeral. They will get all access pass to both feuding families, no holds barred photo access!!!"

Eh... No thanks.

Not bad if ya get put up in a VIP tent! Photographer pit! Free entry!
Great experience for amateurs, I certainly would agree!
If this happened pro photographers would be put outa business and I would hate to see that happen

Fajitas!

Lol, there's no VIP tent, put up your own or rent one

The VIP 'area' is well handy though - real actual toilets and seats, no more lounging in muck!

Oh, and smaller q's to some great hotdogs...

Never been but everyone who has been says EP is stunning...

Anyway, is it just me or is this competition a bit of a waste on 104? Or any radio station. Canon should be doing this on canon.ie, not 104...
