Renowned photographer Robert Caplin has just launched an encore Creative Invite, and this time he’s brought some new players to the scene. Matt Eich, documentary photographer for LUCEO, will guest judge this opportunity to celebrate Caplin’s online community The Photo Brigade.

Submit your best documentary photograph to win thousands of dollars in photography prizes and the honor of having your work featured on The Photo Brigade. Submissions should be candid and unaltered.

Robert Caplin and Matt Eich will choose one winner whose photograph will be featured on The Photo Brigade’s Facebook page. The winning photographer will also receive a featured blog post on The Photo Brigade’s website, a standard one-year PhotoShelter Account valued at $329, a $250 Adorama gift card and two tickets to Luminance 2012 in New York.

One runner-up will receive a Lensbaby Composer Pro with Sweet 35 Optic valued at $400, a ThinkTank Retrospective® 5 Pinestone camera bag and social media exposure on The Photo Brigade’s Facebook page.

A second runner-up will receive a license to Camera Bits Photo Mechanic Software valued at $150, a custom SLR lens mount/strap and social media exposure on The Photo Brigade’s Facebook page.

The highest-voted photograph will receive a Forever Plan Website for Graph Press valued at $299 in addition to social media exposure on The Photo Brigade’s Facebook page.
