Inaugural duckrabbit awards open for entries.
Written by David WhiteWell, I suppose it had to happen. We all know that unless you’ve got an award, you’re not a photographer. And your Scouts/Girl Guides knitting badge doesn’t count. Here at duckrabbit towers (what a view!) we will not rest until there are more awards to enter than there are professional photographers. That’s only fair. We’re nearly there, and these new awards could just take us over that threshold. Phew. Read on..
To help you get off the vicious circle of entering, losing, getting depressed, skint, despondent then suicidal, we have created the duckrabbit cashcow™ awards. With our awards you still have to enter, but you can forget about all the rest…apart maybe the skint part. We could be saving lives here!
It’s simple, really. If you enter, you are guaranteed to win. There are no rules. Enter whatever you want. There is a prize…a cashcow™ T-shirt (see below, all sizes available) and a certificate. You can fill the category in yourself on the certificate. Each cashcow™ award costs £75. For every successful entry we will also put your name on a tweet. Wow, special.
Thinking further, you may want to procure multiple cashcow™ awards, because being a -multi- award winning photographer has to be even better. That’s just obvious. Therefore, for this month only, and maybe the next, you can buy 3, yes 3 cashcow™ awards for £150. Now, I’m crap at maths, but that looks good…a bit like this t-shirt:
As Bob Geldof never said, just send us the fookin’ money. State how many awards you want, and we’ll do the rest. Oh, and bonne chance! You won’t need it 🙂

This is great news, and great value. Outstanding.
Ohhhh, can I have an awards for best staging of a photograph, please? I’ve even sold one of my two Nikon D3 cameras to pay for a stage.
I’d also like an award for best photoshopping in photojournalism (or just journalismshopping, if you prefer, it does seem apt).
And one for best photoessay created entirely from images culled from twitter without asking the permission of the photographer first, and then miscaptioning everything so people think there has been a major riot and looting in Bognor Regis, and pillaging in Royston Vasey.
I am, as I’m sure you’ll agree, a photojournalist deserving of great praise for this highly ethical and and thoroughly researched style of work.
And I can even pay.
You don’t even need to ask. But I’m touched you did.
don’t forget to extend the closing date five times to cream in more money, like all the others do
You forgot to provide a link. That PayPal icon directs me to some obscure puppet gallery. Oh, and £75 for a guaranteed award? That’s a bit cheap, innit? I mean, anyone, ANYONE can get one.
Not just ANYONE, but EVERYONE (with £75 to invest in their careers)
On behalf of the vastly greater number of sheep afficionados in this country I’d like to say stuff your cashcows.
I mean cows…they’re not exactly bright are they?
But hey its lowest common denominator stuff I guess and loads of of folks will flock like….er…sheep….to enter this back-pat club.
Bah.
And so in the spirit of the competition I’d like to enter some real work (!) celebrating the role of sheep in my community – want to see a one-day (yes only one day) sale where 30,000 sheep get sold?
Well look here: http://www.vimeo.com/23590279
On behalf of the nation’s sheep I strike this blow for fleecedom.
I assume the awards T-Shirts are made of GM cotton and stitched in sweat shop in a 3rd world dictatorship. If so I’m collating my entry now.
If they’re organic and made by a co-operative of former child soldiers I’m not prepared to enter.
