Attention Photographers: Motion Photography Prize by Saatchi Gallery and Google+
Motion Photography Prize by Saatchi Gallery and Google+: Call for submissions in 6 categories

From Saatchi Gallery’s open call:
With the ubiquity of smart phones and rise in photo-sharing services, the world has recently exploded with photographers from all backgrounds who are embracing new technology to tell their stories in innovative ways.
Motion photography has emerged as a new trend, but until now required special tools and know-how. Google+ allows users to effortlessly and automatically animate a series of still photographs and turn them into motion photography.
In recognition of the exciting potential of this new technology, the Saatchi Gallery and Google+ announce the Motion Photography Prize, inviting photographers all over the world to celebrate this new creative art form.
