Got a nice little note from the Smithsonian Channel yesterday morning:
Dear Skip,
I’m very pleased to let you know your photograph was selected to be part of the half hour program “Smithsonian Spotlight: Photo Contest.” We don’t have an air date yet, but I wanted to let you know you’ll be part of it. I would also like to confirm the spelling of your name and last name for the credits, so how does this look?: Skip Hunt
Made Smithsonian Magazine Editor’s Photo Pick of the Week! HERE“Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that one of your photographs was selected as one of this week’s Editors’ Picks on Smithsonian.com. Each week our photo editors choose the best entries submitted so far to the Smithsonian Photo Contest. We share these photographs with our readers on our Editors’ Picks page.”
Well, it’s official! I’m proud to announce that soon, I will be able to say my work is hanging in the Smithsonian Castle on the National Mall in Washington D.C.
This image was selected to hang in the “Editors’ Picks: The Best of Smithsonian Magazine’s 7th Annual Photo Contest.” From July 1st through February 2011!
Dear Mr. Hunt,
I am pleased to inform you that your photograph was chosen for display in the upcoming exhibit, “Editors’ Picks: The Best of Smithsonian Magazine’s 7th Annual Photo Contest.” The exhibit, which is currently in production, showcases 30 of the 50 finalists from Smithsonian Magazine’s 7th Annual Photo Contest. It will be on view from July 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011 in the first floor of the Smithsonian Castle on the National Mall in Washington DC.
Last year, more than one million visitors viewed our previous exhibit, and likely, a million more will view your image this year.
Congratulations on a job well done.
They didn’t mention anything about cash, so I’m guessing I didn’t win the prize money for my category. But, to be honest… although cash is nice, being selected for this show was all I was really after. ;-)
So if you’re in Washington D.C. between July and February this year, stop by and have a look. Might have to check this one out myself. :-)
