Ooo that was one of my suggestions. I have lots of ideas for it.

[ferny]

Well done to whoever organised sponsoring! It's a great idea and just goes to show how important this site is.

Can the prize be shipped to users outside the US? Not that a "no" answer would stop me from entering if I thought I had a photograph that fits.

Thanks for answering.


Although I do have another question. It's not dirrectly aimed at you.

Where are all these Portland users coming from?!?! There are loads here now! Just when I thought the UK users were getting a stronghold.
Say Portland and I'll hurt you.

I haven't entered before and am wondering if we keep all rights to our photos. I can't seem to find the info anywhere else.

Am so excited about this one!
