We have lots to cover this week so let's get on with the show!

FBC2014

If you missed it, we made a major sponsor announcement regarding FBC2014 in Vancouver this fall.  We are very excited to welcome Dairy Farmers of Canada as our first Platinum Sponsor and Turkey Farmers of Canada as a Gold Sponsor.  We've got lots of fun things happening with both of these sponsors leading up to October.

And be sure to stay tuned in this week as we will be making another major announcement regarding ticket sales and speakers.

Canadian Copyright Law Giveaway

Thanks to Wiley Publishing and Lesley Ellen Harris, we had three copies of the 4th edition of Canadian Copyright Laws to give away.  Next to "how much should I charge for my work?" the next biggest batch of questions we get are around copyright law for photographs.  If you didn't win a copy of this book, you may want to purchase a copy - it's an excellent resource!

And the winners are...

  • Steph
  • Ian Treuer
  • Lilliana

Melissa will be in touch with all of you shortly for your mailing details! Congrats.  And be sure to check out both of Lesley's posts for FBC and copyright matters: Protecting Your Photograph's Copyright and Who Owns My Blog and Blog Posts?

The Canadian Food Experience Project

Valerie at A Canadian Foodie and her Canadian Food Experience Project crew are still going strong with their year of monthly Canadian food themes.  Round 9 covered My Canadian Love Affair and it is another excellent roundup of posts from across the country.  We know you'll want to check out this round of the Canadian Food Experience Project!
