Photo Contests

[Greg]

I have already seen some great photos on the forums, so why not send them in some where for a chance to win money?

Check out this site:
http://www.photocompete.com/

They have the lowdown on just about every photo contest going on currently, most have no entry fees so it doesn't hurt anything to fire off some pics to all of them.
Plus, you can view the winners and keep the recipe for a winning shot in your head when you are framing your next picture.

Cheers!
Greg

StartBackpacking.com is sponsoring a photo contest on SpongeFish.com!


My friend deciding that she wanted to "fly" in the dirty streets of Chengdu, China

Here are the details:

All you have to do is post your craziest travel photo and a brief story behind it.   It can be funny, dangerous, beautiful, or just shocking in general.
I will pick my top 5 favorite photos and rank them into a top 5 list.   If your response gets picked for a top 5 spot, you win $40 to Amazon!

Enter as many photos as you want, but no one person can win more than once on the top 5 list! Photos must be original and not have been tampered with.
Enter by March 31st to win!

Here's the official contest link:

My readers were the first to hear about it, so get those photos in!

You will see god through my photos.... maybe not, but I'm feeling cocky today!  I can't wait to dig into your forums Greg!  This site rocks and you are a saint for delivering it.

And what makes you think the streets of Chengdu are clean?  Come to India dude!!

Not if you have long, flowing hair

What a silly question.  Your photo should match how you currently look, no matter how you look.
