Earth Mosaic

[Granadafeup]

Boas pessoal,

Provavelmente já devem conhecer este evento (espero que não seja repost), mas fica aqui para quem não conhece.

Para quem não quiser ler o testamento, fica aqui um resumo. No dia 22 de Abril quem poder, tira fotografias dos sítios onde passa durante o dia e faz upload para o site deles.

The Earth Mosaic project started out in Paul's mind as a wild idea to do something truly significant, involving photography. Something world-wide. When he mentioned it to André, after a late-afternoon Kommetjie beach shoot, André suggested aligning with the Earth Day momentum and just like that, the project had an idea, an aim, and a deadline. Two leisurely drinks and dinner meetings, a bunch of feverish PHP development from André, intricate software testing from Paul, purely inspired graphic design from Janet, copy from the the word-wizards Joy and Jolene and we're ready to go!​

Now, we're asking for your help and participation. It really doesn't matter if you're hot-rod D3X or 1Ds Mk III pro-shooter, or a student with a 1.3MP cellphone camera. We all share this planet, and we'd like you all to share in this mosaic. And that leads us to what YOU can do now. The success of the project depends on getting hundreds of thousands of images. Each one represents your tiny block of our life on earth. Even though you can't see your picture at first, you can see the result, and you know that you're part of that. Everyone is. Everything we do, affects our planet. Give us your picture. Ask all your family, friends, Facebook friends, Twitter followers, Flickr buddies. People who aren't on those services. Everyone gets in. Let's make our pictures a commitment to do better for our home, Earth.​

All submitted images must be taken within the 24 hour period of 22 April 2009,​

as it occurs in the country where you are on that day.
​

You may send in more than one image taken on the day – but make sure they're your best ones!
​

All those participating are asked to spread the word and help make the project as far- reaching as possible.
​

All images must be uploaded by 30th April 2009.

By submitting your image to EarthMosaic.org, you license the image as:​

Every attempt will be made to place each image on the map as close to the country where it was taken.​

However, to allow an even spread of images across the map, this may not be possible.​
