Bring your digital camera and start shooting! Cosentino's Downtown Market is Kansas City's newest downtown grocery with incredible colors, textures, architecture and people. We've obtained permission from the owners to do this year's KC DesignCore Photo Walk inside their beautiful new store.

Each "regular" KC DesignCore attendee who participates will be entered to win up to $2,100 worth of Adobe software (up to but not including Master Collection CS4). The winner of our photo contest will receive two additional raffle tickets, second place winner will receive one additional raffle ticket.

The rules are very basic: bring your camera, respect the shoppers inside the store, and avoid shooting identifiable faces of customers. Feel free to take photos of store employees, however -- everyone from the sushi chef to the guy making 17 flavors of gelato are fair game.

• We've agreed to give Cosentino's the use of any photos we shoot during this event in appreciation for their permission to use their venue. Who knows...your work might end up in a Cosentino's marketing piece or a web site some day! To this end, you'll need to sign an agreement specifying that your photos will become property of Cosentino's following the contest and may not be used for any commercial purposes; this is an educational event designed to improve your skills!

Take advantage of the rich palette of visual imagery inside the new store, pare down your memory card to the best few shots, and submit them for the contest.

See you on Thursday night, June 4. Charge your batteries and clean off your memory card. And if you happen to get hungry during the night...we know where you can find some great food!

Mike Hendricks of the KC Star calls this store "the swankiest supermarket I’ve ever seen. Ceiling murals. Marble countertops..."

It will be a fun evening to feast our eyes on what's happening in the world of food in downtown Kansas City. See you there!
