If you’re stuck at home and also happen to have time on your hands, this is a great way to stay creative and perhaps make up for some lost work. Sigma will be giving away weekly prizes and monthly grand prizes for photos taken at home with the theme “Shot at Home”.
Here are the details, from Sigma:
Each week, a panel of Sigma professionals will judge entries based on creativity, originality and adherence to the theme of “shot at home” and then select a winner to receive a $500 American Express gift card. At the culmination of each month, a winner will be chosen from the pool of weekly winners to receive a $1000 American Express gift card. An overall contest grand prize winner will receive a Sigma fp + 45mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens and a second place contest winner will receive any Sigma lens valued at $1000 or less. Rules and regulations apply, open to U.S. citizens only.
