Canon supports Illinois photojournalists
A big shout out to Canon for their support of the photojournalism community in Illinois!
Canon has donated a 40D kit (body with EF 25-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS lens) to be donated to the winner of the IPPA Monthly Clip Contest winner. Fred Zwicky, of the Peoria Journal Star, was the winner of the contest and accepts the camera with a huge smile. Thanks Canon!
Canon also sponsored our IPPA/WNPA convention, underwriting one of the breaks. Canon also gave us a Canon 9900i PIXMA Inkjet Printer and supplies to make prints for the upcoming iBOP Gallery Show. Details on the showcase of winning photos will be announced later. Canon also donated a camera bag, which will go to a yet-to-be-determined contest winner.
Thanks to Ed Meyers <emeyers at cusa.canon.com> for showing their goodies Saturday. Contact him (Chicago area) or Brian Matsumoto <bmatsumoto at cusa.canon.com> (downstate) for more from Canon.

IPPA - WNPA Convention 2009 Friday night party
Sure, we’re going to learn tons and have a wonderful educational experience.
We’re also going to have some fun!
Be sure to come to Madison Friday for the contest judging. For, at the end of the day, we’ll be heading to Madison hot spot The Essen Haus for dinner and hospitality. What am I talking about? “A bustling beer hall that has everything from Wiener Schnitzel to authentic polka bands,” that’s what! And the Come Back Inn not only has micro brews, an extensive beer selection and a dance floor — it also has free popcorn! So get ready to work off those empty calories polkaing, and trade flatlander/cheesehead barbs with our friends from the Wisconsin News Photographers Association.
Steckt Eure Kameras weg, Leute. Jetzt geht’s los.
Lasst die Kamera zu Hause, lasst uns Spass haben.
Legt Eure Kameras hin, wir werden jetzt Spass haben.
Details
- 7 p.m. Dinner at The Essen Haus, 514 E. Wilson St. (you pay)
- Hospitality at The Essen Haus, and Come Back Inn (hosted, dance floor for a polka, etc.)
