Lenzr is a website that opens business advertising budgets and encourages independent creativity from the general population - After re reading an intriguing post on Ancestry Guru which discusses the new Lenzr photo contests I realized that there is a lot of opportunity on this website. Perhaps more than I first concieved when I designed the site.

Everyday TangleD Web

Indeed, here is a Utopian platform that lets photographers upload photos which are scrutinized by members and visitors to the site who rate the material - the highest rated image wins the prize on March 1st 2010.

The photo contest Everyday Tangled Web is designed to pinpoint the tangles that we, as a society, create and use everyday.

Contest ends midnight August 31st, 2009. The winning photo is the picture with the most votes at that time.

The Winner, the registered user that uploads the winning image will receive this Esquire Verve men’s watch with quartz movement, silver-tone hands with four diamonds.

The waterproof timepiece to the left has a stainless steel bracelet and butterfly clasp. It's quite wide and measures three point eight centimeters.

There's a discussion about this contest on Toronto-Forums.com and that's a good place to kill time.

Today is a glorious day for photographers with images of Toronto they will share for online publicity and fame and in an attempt to bring traffic back to their own destinations and photo galleries (wherever they have images for sale stored) and it was conceived that perhaps that would donate images to the cause of making Toronto more memorable online. This is all about a photo contest website that traffics in fame and real prizes.
