Photo Contest: Vanilla Beans
Calling all food photographers. It’s time for a photo contest. The subject is Vanilla Beans. We’ll send you some vanilla beans (so you win even if you lose) … You’ll make photographic magic … We’ll put the best photographs to a vote on our blog … and if you get the most votes, you’ll win a fabulous prize (keep reading).

Here’s how it works:
1) To enter, email justin (at) marxfoods dot com: a) your name; b) your address; c) your website/blog if you have one; and d) some sort of evidence that you can take a halfway decent photograph. We must get your email by November 10th at 9AM PST.
2) We’ll select a handful of participants and send each a dozen vanilla beans (6 Tahitian Vanilla Beans & 6 Madagascar Vanilla Beans) that day via UPS Ground. If you tell someone else about the photo contest and we also select them to participate, we’ll send you 12 Tahitians and 12 Madagascars.
3) There are no real guidelines regarding the photography, except that it must somehow incorporate the vanilla bean. You can photograph the beans whole, cook with them and photograph the dish, or pretty much photograph anything that relates in any way to the vanilla beans that we send you. You must submit your photograph in jpeg format by Saturday, November 21, 2009 at midnight.
4) We’ll select our favorites on Sunday … and put them to a vote here on our blog starting on Monday, November 23, 2009.
5) The winning photograph will be featured on our homepage. And, the winner will receive a $150 credit to MarxFoods.com.
