May 2015 : Rockband Challenge

After our successful LoveShoot contest, we go from cozy to kick-ass. For our next Team Competition, we'll be collaborating with some of Bulacan's top rock bands in a Rockband Challenge. It's simple : shoot a rock band and make the photos awesome.

We have called on interested bands to submit their info and we will be selecting 7 of them to take part in our shootout. We'll select those who we think are really interesting in terms of their music, story, and if we think they'd make a fantastic bunch of subjects to photograph.

Here's how we're going to do this :

1. Seven (7) bands will be selected to be featured in the shooting challenge. List of approved bands will be announced on April 30.
2. Shooters (participating Focus members) will be divided into 7 teams. Each team will consist of a band and 2 to 3 shooters.
3. Team assignment will be done thru random drawing of lots on May 5. Participating bands are requested to have one representative present for the draw-lots and for the short orientation (30 minutes tops). You will be notified of the time and venue via private message (orientation will be done somewhere in Malolos).
4. The actual shoot schedule shall be discussed by the team (band and shooters), and will be scheduled according to their availability. However, it should take place between May 11 to 31, 2015 (May 31 is the deadline to finish the shoots).
5. Each team will be required to submit 5 photo entries - the best of the best but including 1 album cover format (square) - for judging and voting. The entries will be judges AS A SET.
6. Deadline of entries is on June 7, 2015. A panel of judges will vote on the entries.

The bands will not be charged for the shoots. It is FREE. More details will be discussed on May 5 (short orientation and draw-lots for team assignment). This activity is exclusive for Focus official members.

Stay tuned for the updates.
