“Every year, Black Friday rings in the yearly holiday shopping season, with hundreds of thousands of people getting up before sunrise to queue for bargains and deals, and stores being besieged by their own customers. […] With Picture Black Friday, we’re hoping to get a wide array of images that tell the full story of this ‘Only in America’ event and not the image that is cultivated and packaged by the media to perpetuate the frenzy and sell more advertising. We will be accepting submissions for one week, beginning on Sunday November 29th through December 6th. We ask that photographers submit up to 5 of their best images of and about Black Friday. […] Our jurors will then choose from that selection the best image(s) and the chosen photographer(s) will be featured on the Conscientious photoblog as well as toomuchchocolate.org.”
