Calling all potato photographers. (Potagraphers?)

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has launched a worldwide photography contest in conjunction with its International Year of the Potato. Have some stellar photos of the tasty nightshade? Send them in – or start pointing and shooting – and you may find yourself winning thousands of dollars and professional Nikon camera equipment.

Through the contest, the FAO seeks to raise awareness about the importance of potatoes in agriculture, the economy and world food security. Categories for photos include: biodiversity; cultivation; post-harvest and processing; trade; marketing; and consumption and utilization.

For rules, click here. The closing date is September 1, 2008, so start snapping those spud shots.
