Mark July 18th, 2009 on your calendar and make sure to keep it open (I know we have and will).

The second annual WorldWide PhotoWalk is happening on July 18th, 2009 taking place in various cities and spots around the globe.  Developed by Scott Kelby last year, the WordWide PhotoWalk (much like the London PhotoWalk) is about getting people out, taking photographs, having fun and having conversations.

James Wikinson was on the ball yesterday and signed up London, Ontario to participate in this years event.  Currently I do not have more details other than the date of July 18th, 2009 . Stay tuned to LondonPhotoWalk.ca for news in the coming weeks.

PhotoWalks in London, Ontario are for everyone, not just photographers, whether you are experienced or not, we take this as a chance for local Londoners to come together and have some fun, and take some great pics while we’re at it!

Unlike our monthly PhotoWalks here in London, the WordWide PhotoWalk comes complete with a prize for the “best” image of the day from each city.  Here at LondonPhowoWalk.ca we are hoping that we can get some local businesses on board (photographay related and others) to donate some other cool prizes so that we can award multiple winners.  If you are interested in sponsoring this event by supplying a prize, treats for the participants or perhaps a local venue for the beginning or end of the walk please Contact us as soon as you can.

There are only 50 “official” spots open for this PhotoWalk so please head over to our WorldWide PhotoWalk page and register. These 50 spots are the only people that can qualify for Scot Kelby’s prize, but everyone who comes out to the event will qualify for LondonPhotoWalk.ca Prizes. The Prize from Scott Kelby is his 3rd Volume of the Digital Photography Book.

More information on the London contribution to the WorldWide PhotoWalk will be decided shortly. These details will included, Time of day, Start location, End Location, and additional prizes that we will be giving out.

So stay tuned for more information!

For more general details about the WordWide PhotoWalk I encourage you to check you the FAQ page over on the official site as well as taking a minute or two to view the association promotional video which I have posted below.
