Blogger decided to discontinue their service of hosting their blogs externally, that is, on your own domains. Nice about this facility was that it was possible to tightly integrate their blogs into your own sites.
Photomarathon.eu has now moved to Wordpress, which is quite an effort (and not yet finished at this moment) as where Blogger could be integrated into your own site, with Wordpress, it’s the other way around; that is, you have to adapt your pages to work with Wordpress.
Anyway, I took the opportunity to move the upcoming events listing to the photomarathon group on Upcoming. Don’t hesitate to subscribe (or submit your own events, if you know of any).
The participate and results pages will be upgraded when/if photomarathon.eu participates in organizing another photomarathon.
In the meantime, listings were added for Berlin, where they plan to have their tenth photomarathon on the 19th of June. Keep an eye on their website, though, as they haven’t secured the date, yet.
Canberra, Australia’s capital, is hosting that country’s first every photomarathon on March 27. They allow for registration through EventBrite, which is pretty cool. Their tickets go for around 40 Australian Dollars. Not too shabby, considering their main sponsor, Lowepro, is putting in over 1300 dollars of prizes.
Their event lasts 12 photos and 12 hours.
Denmark, currently the longest running photomarathon in the world, is up again for their next event on August 28 this year. They’ve got a knack for organizing it in multiple cities, so also keep an eye on their website.
Update: Turns out that the brains behind the Canberra photomarathon is no one but Chris Oosthuizen, who participated in the 2007 Pretoria photomarathon.
With a new blog comes a new face comes a new logo comes a new face.
