Winnipeg, Canada, January 8, 2013 – A photograph could be worth $1,000 USD and an art exhibition in the “Let’s Talk Ideas” photo contest. Sponsored by the independent publishing company Big Fizz, the international contest encourages the expression of this theme in a photograph. One grand prizewinner will receive $1,000 and a featured place in the “Let’s Talk Ideas” show held at Gurevich Fine Art in Winnipeg, Canada. Ten secondary winners will receive $100 each and a place in the same show. Winners will be determined by popular vote.

“We are all about proliferating bold ideas and supporting the conversations they generate.” explains Big Fizz CEO Howard Gurevich, “The ideas articulated in our books can be conveyed in various art forms. This contest is our first challenge to anybody interested in ideas to express what they look like in a photograph.”
