Call for Entries to the Tenth Ricoh Photo Contest

Contest Theme: "My view"

Tokyo, Japan — June 11, 2010 — Ricoh Co., Ltd. has announced it will hold the Tenth Ricoh Photo Contest for photos taken with Ricoh compact digital cameras (application period: June 14, 2010 to August 31, 2010). The theme for the contest will be "My view".

Now being held for the tenth time, the Ricoh Photo Contest was created in June 2004 as an activity to promote communication and picture taking through the participation of a wide range of customers who enjoy photography. With this contest we are also seeking to develop the Ricoh concept of Candid Photo Culture, the essence of which is to "carry your camera with you and enjoy the photographs lightheartedly taken."

The contest theme of "My view" embodies the message that "By just changing your angle of view, you make the world an infinitely interesting place." From photographers both inside and outside Japan, we are looking forward to receiving images of diverse subjects photographed with a free sensibility from new perspectives.

Prize winners will be selected by two photographers active in the forefront of the field: Ryo Ohwada and Kazuyuki Okajima.

Photos are submitted via the contest website, and a total of 50 will be chosen as winners, including a grand prize winner. The winners will be exhibited on the Ricoh website (starting around early November). The contest website handles submissions from overseas as well as Japan with information in Japanese, English, German, and Chinese.

The winning photographs will be printed in "poster size" (457 x 560 mm) and displayed at a planned photo exhibit. In addition, the "2011 Ricoh Photo Calendar" will be created using 13 photographs (cover included) selected from among the winners.

Ricoh hopes that the Photo Contest will serve as an opportunity for people to enjoy photography and make new discoveries. We look forward to receiving many entries.
