Welcome to the 16th issue of International Teletimes. It's my pleasure to announce the first annual Teletimes Photography Contest, Photon '94! Kent Barrett, our Photography columnist, along with a couple of other well known Vancouver photographers will be judging the photos, winners to be announced in the July '94 issue. Prizes have not yet been finalized, although we are guaranteeing a colour Teletimes tee-shirt to the winner in each category. Cash prizes are a possibility if we get sufficient entries. The deadline for entries is May 31st. For more details, see the official information sheet and entry form at the end of this issue. Stay tuned for new developments.
I'd like to ask all of our readers to help us promote this contest by downloading the Photon '94 poster from our FTP site, printing it out, and distributing copies around your city (photography stores and other appropriate places). The poster consists of two postscript files (front and back) and can be found at ftp.wimsey.com in the /m/ftp/ftp/pub/photon_94 directory. We would greatly appreciate your help.
One last thing before I let you go on to read the rest of the issue. I'd like to welcome Ken Eisner aboard Teletimes. Ken is a writer from the Georgia Straight, a Vancouver Weekly newspaper who will be running a new Arts & Entertainment here in Teletimes, starting May '94. You can see his article, Hawaii Pubcrawl, in this issue (Features).
