Ta daaaaaaaaaaaaa. LiveSTRONG Day 2008 has been announced. This year it is on May 13th.
Here in the food and wine blogging community we will be supporting LiveSTRONG Day with our A Taste of Yellow event. Remember last year when 149 bloggers participated? 149 fabulous bloggers made yellow food to show their support for LiveSTRONG Day 2007 . Some chose to share their own cancer experiences and some told stories of their support for their friends or family experiencing cancer.
Please join me again as we remember those loved ones who are no longer with us, support those still fighting and celebrate with those who have won the fight.
I've added a second element to this years event which I really hope you will join. A photo competition. You know you all love to play with your camera as much as you play with your food.
To enter the photo competition you will need the Lance Armstrong yellow wrist band. They are available to purchase on line here at the LiveSTRONG store . To be considered in the judging the yellow wristband must appear in the photograph of the recipe you are are submitting to A Taste Of Yellow. If not entering the photo competition just post a photo to accompany your post and recipe.
There will be rules because there is a prize. The publishers of photographer Lou Manna have kindly donated a copy of his book Digital Food Photography to go the winner.
