The nominations are now tabulated and will be announced shortly. You may, however, make nominations for Photo of the Year as directed by John Abbott. Keeping your eyes as well as your ears open? Let Abbott know what you've seen that conveys jazz in an image. -- best, Howard From david at adlermusic.com Fri Apr 3 10:11:27 2009 From: david at adlermusic.com (David R.

Message-ID: <150E025A-A3D9-4348-8490-76FCDDE64F37@earthlink.net> Hey JJA members -- to try to expand the outreach and upgrade considerations of the JJA's annual Jazz Award for "Photo of the Year," John Abbott has kindly volunteered to collect nominees by email. The deadline for nominating photos is April 28, 2009 -- late submissions won't be considered. I hope you got John's letter last week -- we had some problems with the list-serve. What we're asking for are nominations of photos taken or published between March 1 2008 and March 1 2009 (publication is suggested, but not required). You, as a JJA professional member, can nominate any photo -- your own or one by any other photographer. To nominate your own photo, send YOUR NAME, CAPTION INFORMATION, and a JPEG, 72 dpi resolution, longest side not more than 500 pixels (about 7 inches) to monkdizbird at yahoo.com To nominated someone else's photograph, submit the name of that photographer, their email address, and clear identification of the photo you are nominating (as they will be contacted and asked for a JPEG). All submitted photos will be put on display at the website of the Jazz Journalists Association and voted upon by professional members of the JJA for a "Photo of the Year" winner to be announce at the Jazz Awards gala barbeque party June 16 at the Jazz Standard in New York City.
