Win a Canon EOS 5D with lenses : iStockphoto named August 19 a special day for creative professionals, and has announced several personal and financial rewards for its members. August 19, 1839 marked the day Louis Daguerre formally introduced the camera to the world, and iStock has declared this date ‘Punctum Day’ (referring to a profound reaction an excellent image creates). With prizes totaling $40,000, member voting starts today, to showcase the year’s best iStock files and artists in eight categories. iStock will also allow unlimited image uploads from exclusive contributors on Aug. 18 and 19, and has reduced the exclusivity eligibility requirement from 500 downloads to 250 for contributors who have a 50% acceptance rate.
