thanks for putting it up nice and early !! give people here an opportunity to enter.

only thing I hate about it is part 4 ...where images go to a public vote on facebook ....so basically it means in a few weeks we'll have a few...hey im in a competition vote for me threads !!

if only companies would learn that this is a hated marketing tool - used by marketing people because they want to create a false sense of popularity for those who are paying them, people click "like" on the facebook page so they can enter a competition....makes the company think they are popular because they have so many "likes" and the marketing company put a big smug grin on their face.

Yep, the person with the most Facebook friends will win, instead of the best photo winning.

Pointless for those of us who don't use Facebook or are disinclined to spam everybody we know.

Nah, I won't be entering it, I've entered several of these and although I would readily admit that my entries wouldn't deserve to win, some of the winning entries have been average because of the number of friends they can get to vote. They have professional photographers working for them, why can't they get them to choose the winner from a shortlist ??
