The first Nikongear Photo Race
PeterN:
Hi all,
Jakov, Nicole and I are happy to announce the first Nikongear Photo Race in the Hague (Netherlands). May many races follow!
Our source of inspiration are the Urban Photo Races held across the world. What does this mean? During the day participants will shoot 3 photos for 4-6 themes. Themes will be handed out during the day at checkpoints in the city. Themes will require your creativity so don't forget to pack your creativity when you decide to come.
It is not (yet) our intention to run it in a competitive format, although we may change our minds when we find a qualified jury. However, the idea is to publish each one's series here at the forum.
As we will participate ourselves (participating is too much fun to stay on the sideline) we will seek for someone who will provide one of us with the themes when the race starts. The checkpoints will be used to share our experiences and ha ing a drink or meal. Further details will be provided later.
For now, 2 dates seem to work best: August 12 or September 30. Both dates are on a Saturday, allowing people to come in on Friday and leave on Sunday. Depending on your interest, we will organize some other activities (such as having a drink or dinner or a photography-related activity ;-) ). When sufficient people want to stay overnight we may check for an arrangement with a hotel.
If your are interested, please respond to this thread by:
1. mentioning your preferred date: August 12 or September 30
2. if you would like to stay overnight, and if so, which nights
We do hope that many of you from around the world will join us on this exciting event! If you haven't scheduled your vacation yet, this might be THE opportunity.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Jakov, Nicole, Peter

I'll love to go. September is the best dates for me. If happening, I'll be probably flying to and from Amsterdam unless there is a better option.
Erik Lund:
Great idea ;) I'm in, so far both dates are fine, will have to come back to it ;)
Bjørn Rørslett:
I might join, but only Sept 30 is possible.
Bruno Schroder:
Great idea. I'm in for September 30. Most probably I'll drive in the morning, if it doesn't start at 7:00 :)
