Kodak launched the “Pricey Ink - You’re Fired!” Photo Contest. The contest, powered by Brickfish and inspired by Kodak’s appearance on The Celebrity Apprentice, invites people to submit a photo or video of their favorite “Knockout Kodak Moment” (a treasured personal memory). “With our relationship with Apprentice, NASCAR, and now Brickfish, we are encouraging consumers to experience Kodak’s inkjet value proposition first hand,” said Jeff Hayzlett, chief business development officer and vice president of Kodak. “The show and online contest allows us to reach current and potential customers with the ‘no compromise’ message - encouraging consumers to take a stand against high priced ink.”

The PMA, or Photo Marketing Association, continues a long tradition of maintaining a network of photo imaging as well as the experience and know-how of the industry. The PMA represents 20,000 members from over 100 countries, who are all active within the imaging industry. As a reflection of the changes in the market, the PMA organization has also changed and has become more diverse. Nowadays, the member group consists of representatives coming from photo retail, manufacturers, commercial photo labs, professional sports and news photography, in addition to small album print suppliers and photo processing centers. The PMA 2010 focuses on an industry which is heavily affected by the unstable situation of the global financial economy. However, whether the latter will also stand in the way of the innovation and product introductions, remains to be revealed by the PMA International Convention and Trade Show in the Anaheim Convention Center in Southern California, USA.
