Australia/New Zealand Win Salgado's "Africa" - A Photo Contest

[fergus]

Greetings All !!!

Another freebie from the great Fergus-House-Cleanup saga...

Up for grabs is a mint hardcover copy of Salgado's "Africa".

How to win: post your photos... let's say "attractive women" (clothed) is the theme.

The catch: Completely subjective - the photo I like best, wins.

Postage/Freight: Free, my treat, to Australia only. No foreign entries. Sorry, this is a heavy book!!

I'll give it a week or so, then choose from whatever entries have been posted.

Good luck!!!

Fergus.

Just how much is shipping? What if we were willing to pay for freight? Could international's enter?

The biggest problem is postage. When I bought the book, the postage was just a few dollars as it was part of a very large Amazon order, it made almost no difference to the freight cost.

Our post stystem is not economical... parcels between 4.5-5kg, from Sydney to the USA, costs $55 by sea, and $88 by air. Knock off 14% to convert to US$.

You're welcome to enter if you'll pay the freight, but it might be cheaper to just buy the book?

This has to be the strangest thread I have ever seen on RFF. 🙂



/fergus, i think it will be more polite if you offer an explanation of why you chose that particular picture and what was your selection criterion.

Ok no problem.

It appealed visually to me more than the other photos (mainly the colours). There were limited entries to choose from!

I would point out that at the start in post #1 I put the 'clothed' part in - I didn't intend for this to be impolite or offensive to anyone. Strictly above-board.

Hope that helps.

Cheers...

 

[Nh3]

Yes, that helped. Thank you.

 

[Tarzak]

Hooray! Thanks Fergus.

 

[Tarzak]

It just arrived!
Fantastic.
