DMBLGIT – January 2009 Announcement

I’m thrilled to be the host of Does My Blog Look Good in This? event for the second time. Thank you Andrew for this grandest foodporn event on the foodblogosphere!

I think I can say that since I hosted the last DMBLGIT back in 2007 I improved my photography skills, but still can learn a lot. So I’m quite happy I don’t have to judge your pics alone. I’m supported by the following 4 gifted and talented foodbloggers.

• Gabi from Crockyblog a journalist and a big fan of American, Italian and Mexican food.
• Lorraine from Not Quite Nigella is a cake and food enthusiast, who believes that cakes belong in an art gallery.
• Robert form lamiacucina a compatriot of mine, is a retired chemist who loves food, especially Italian food.
• Shari from Whisk: a food blog – what a surprise – her passion is food, too. ;-)

To learn more about the judges visit their blogs.

What is DMBLGIT?
The idea behind the event is to give everyone a chance to enjoy some of the best pictures of the month posted on food blogs. There are so many food blogs now and stories are constantly posted that it’s very easy to miss some great posts and pictures. This event takes us back through the food photos.

The rules & how to participate:

• Send a photo that has appeared on your blog during December 2008.
• The photo should be food and/or drink related.
• No diptychs allowed.
• Only one entry per person
• The photograph must have been taken by you and must be text free (copyright is okay).
• Deadline for submissions : January 20, 2009
• Send your entry to judgemypic(at)gmail.com with „DMBLGIT“ in the subject line with the following details

– your name
– your blog’s name and URL
– the photograph that you wish to enter, 500 pixels wide (height doesn’t matter)
– your photograph’s title
– URL of the post containing the photograph
– type of camera used, lens if you wish

By submitting a photo, you agree to your picture being redisplayed and altered in size on the host’s page and on the SpittoonExtra DMBLGIT page.

The judges will review your entries on the basis of

Aesthetics: composition, food styling, lighting, focus, etc.
Edibility: „Does the photo make us want to dive in and eat the food?“
Originality: the photograph that catches our attention and makes us want to say wow!, displaying something we might not have seen before.

From these categories, we will come up with:

Overall Winner: top overall scores in all three categories combined.
There are three overall winners for photographs with the highest point totals in all three categories combined, and one winner in each of the three individual categories.

For complete set of instructions on participation, visit Spittoon Extra.

You can find this month’s entries in this gallery. I will upload your submissions as and when I receive them.

For last month’s winners, visit Arfi’s HomeMadeS.

Wishing you all good luck!
