Panasonic Kicks-Off 2009/2010 Online LUMIX Award Photo Competition
This year’s contest seeks images that explore the theme of music
Panasonic Marketing Europe is pleased to announce a call for entries for the eighth annual online LUMIX Award digital photo competition which takes place from October 26[1], 2009 until April 30, 2010. Under the theme of “Visualise Music,” digital photographers are invited to submit each month one digital image that best captures the moment when music, whether through the sound of an instrument or every day life, impacts our visual senses.
“We hope that the LUMIX Award will encourage digital photographers to use their creativity and show us through their photos how an invisible condition such as music can be visualized,” explains Sven Dabelstein, Senior Manager Product Marketing, Optical Products, Panasonic Marketing Europe.
The digital photography competition is open for six months from November 2009 until April 2010. Each month, a winner will be chosen and awarded a LUMIX DMC-ZX1, the latest digital compact camera from Panasonic. The overall winner of the LUMIX Award competition – for the single best digital photo - will win a LUMIX DMC-GF1, the worlds smallest and lightest interchangeable lens system camera[2] from Panasonic along with tickets to see the Blue Man Group. Two runner-ups will each receive a LUMIX DMC-FZ38 digital camera. All submitted digital photographs will be reviewed and judged by an independent panel of professional photographers and creative directors.
Established in 2002, the LUMIX Award is a European-wide online competition aimed at promoting creativity in digital photography and establishing an interactive platform for digital photographers to share their work. Each year’s competition centres on a different creative theme.

This competition looked interesting, but a friend and I keep having our pictures rejected. Not for size, but because they don't comply with the rules. One was a picture of a wooden figure of a conductor with a baton, looking a bit like Mozart, on a fairground organ (the topic is music). Another was five heavy metal types, quite harmless, playing tubas in a procession. My friend thinks the first one was seen as religious and the second as Nazi. But all we get is 'doesn't comply with the rules - upload another motif'. Or do they think we are infringing privacy? I think the judges just don't understand European situations, but I can't find any information anywhere.

I am having the same problem!!! My pictures is being rejected all the time and they dont provide me with a proper answer. I am thinking to take some legal steps because i think it is very discriminative and unfair.

@Zszsa I don't think legal steps will get you anywhere, because it's Panasonic's competition and they can do what they want.
I have just submitted a picture of a trumpet-playing angel on a fairground organ, which everyone will see relates to music. It was rejected. Reply in German means 'Please submit a different motif'. I think it is a translation problem. They don't mean motif, they mean picture. They want a picture playing with depth of field, because they think what I have done is too 'analogue'. Really, both analogue and digital SLRs can use a shallow depth of field, but still, I think my picture was rejected because it was not visually exciting enough.

yeah you are right we cant take steps... but for me it is just unacceptable that they reject every kind of photo without really giving a reason... the pictures (i tried with more) i wanted to put werent winner pictures but anyway, i think they were ok enough to qualify: and when i wrote the team an email asking why it wasrejected, on one of them they said it wasnt close enough to music. it was a couple dancing and there are many dancing pictures on the website so it is difficult to accept the reason... they should write they preselect the pictures how they want...
