Website Launch: Carnival Stock Photos

www.AllCarnivalPhotos.com has been launched!

Here you will find all carnival stock photos, illustrations and videos from around the world. Photographers and designers can store, share and sell their photographs, illustrations and videos captured at various carnival festivals or events around the world.

AllCarnivalPhotos.com is the latest entry into the field of stock photography resources but, with a twist. The site is aimed solely at serving the needs of the online community who are interested in carnival only photography, illustrations and videos. The site will allow photographers to upload their photos, illustrations and videos into various carnival categories e.g Rio De Janeiro, Trinidad, Miami, Canada, Venice, Tokyo, Quebec (the list is endless). Once approved, the shots are displayed within the selected categories for customer prospects to view and purchase.

With free membership, it allows graphics artists, web designers, art directors, and customers to obtain legal royalty free stock images for use in electronic and print materials. Watermarked for protection during viewing, end users will receive un-marked shots once they have completed the registration and payment process.

Calling on all carnival Photo owners/Photographers!

Wherever the carnival is/was, no matter how old the photos and video were, you can start earning money with them immediately. We are inviting all photo owners/photographers to upload, share and sell their carnival photos. Submitting photographers receive compensation equal to 70% of the sales price for all of their download photos, illustrations and videos and can constantly track their account and their personal library within their profile online.

While our stock photos are priced by default at US$1, photo owners/photographers can set their preferred prices for their photos and videos (in the section known as special
& exclusive). Another great aspect of the site is that photographers from all over the world can join, upload, set their prices and sell, then monitor their earnings online and request for payment immediately using their preferred payment option. Making money has never been this easy!

All photo owners/photographers uploading their carnival photos and videos on or before 31st Dec 2008 may receive a US$10 bonus credit, which can be used to purchase other photos on the site. Media representatives may receive a complimentary one-week subscription or US$30 bonus credit to evaluate AllCarnivalPhotos.com site and product offering by contacting us at fotos@allcarnivalphotos.com

Looking forward to your participation and your success story with us! - Remember it's all about upload, share and sell. (Also see attached flyer)

Carnaval.com announces Carnavalcity.com

Our first post says: "Carnaval.com for the 2009 Carnaval season has launched a new wiki platform at www.carnavalcity.com. It is a very powerful web 2.0 technology we will be putting most of our 2009 Carnaval time into. We are also quite excited by this blogger platform provided by google.com. We expect to integrate it further into the family of carnaval.com web sites which includes www.sfmission.com and aforum.com.

We continue to be affiliated with the FECC's carnivalcities.com as we support the growth of the world's largest and most active federation of Carnival Cities.

We expect this new platform to change names soon as the successor to aforum.com it will be known as aforum1.com
