I recently blogged about the launch party of the St. Patrick’s Festival which probably the best launch event I have been at in my short connector history !
I really like the way it has seamlessy become a week long festival and not a day of celebration !! At the party, Marcus MacInnes, founder of Ireland’s top photo sharing web site pix.ie was telling me about how they have teamed up with Ireland’s top festival as THE official photo sharing location for festival goers photo sharing.
As part of the Irish community, it is great to now be part of Ireland’s fast growing photo blogging community and especially on such a great day to be Irish ! To join in, all you gotta do is check out the events page, head down to some of the great events and upload your photos to the St. Patrick’s Festival Pix.ie group >>
Here’s what Pix.ie have to say about some super prizes !
To make things a little more interesting, we’ve created a competition (more details to follow) and will be selecting three lucky winners whose photos capture the spirit of the festival. Canon have very kindly offered to sponsor some of the best prizes we’ve seen in a photo competition and with a total value of just under €1,800, these are very generous prizes!!!
- 1st Prize – Canon EOS 1000D digital SLR camera, Selphy ES3 photo printer, 150 Euro photography training course, adding memory card and photo printing paper. Total value €1,050
- 2nd Prize – Powershot E1 digital camera and Selphy ES3 photo printer. Total Value €480
- 3rd Prize – Selphy ES3 photo printer. Total Value €240
A great idea and a great coup for Marcus & his team … now there is even more … how about this for an amazing photo blogger initiative … this is top notch Marcus, check out this great party too !
“”To celebrate the Guinness 250 year anniversary, the Guinness Storehouse are inviting 250 Pixie users, bloggers and photobloggers to continue the Pixie Party after the parade and join in the fun at the Storehouse’s annual Paddy’s Day festival on March 17th:
“On St. Patrick’s Day, Guinness Storehouse will host an electrifying global celebration of Guinness and the Irish national holiday with over 250 entertainers of every description. Prepare for a barrage of rock, soul, roots, swing, jazz and traditional Irish, as well as international street performers and marching bands. Learn how to Pour the Perfect Pint of Guinness like a true Dublin connoisseur, savour the taste of Guinness variants and try some food with a Guinness twist.” – More details of what to expect!!! “”
Credit too to the Guinness Storehouse & Canon !!
For my part, I just have to tell you about this highly innovative idea and I hope you will see me snapping as one of the chosen photo bloggers ! Click here for my new Pix.ie Connector profile >>

I love new St.Patricks website. Colors and style are lovely.
I have a lot of photos from St.Patricks festival 3 years ago – do they count or they have to be from this year?
