Photowalk at Fermilab, August 7, 2010
Fermilab invites local photographers, both amateurs and professionals, to a
The Fermilab Photowalk is part of the global Particle Physics Photowalk that takes place on this day at five particle physics laboratories in five countries. Participating laboratories are: CERN (Switzerland), DESY (Germany), Fermilab (USA), KEK (Japan) and TRIUMF (Canada).
Participation in the Fermilab Photowalk will be limited to the first 50 photographers to sign up online. Fermilab will maintain a wait list to fill in any cancellations. The event is free of charge and will run from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
All photographers who receive a confirmation for their participation should report at Fermilab’s Wilson Hall by 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 7, 2010. All participants must follow the Fermilab Photowalk guidelines. After a welcome and safety briefing, the photographers will be divided into five groups of 10. Each group will visit five research areas on the Fermilab site. At each site, photographers will have about 30 minutes to take as many photos as they want. Travel from research area to research area will be done by buses provided by Fermilab. The event will take place rain or sunshine.
Photo contest
The Fermilab Photowalk participants have the chance to submit photos that they took during the Photowalk for a photo contest. Fermilab will feature the best photos in an exhibit at the laboratory and on the Web. In addition, Fermilab will forward the top three photos to the global photo competition held by the particle physics website Interactions.org. Winners of the global competition will receive t-shirts and other memorabilia from the five participating laboratories and will be notified in October. The detailed rules for participation in the photo contest are here.
