LG and Flickr launch Viewtyful World photo contest

LG and Flickr (Yahoo-owned) decided to launch a photo contest: Viewtyful World. In this way they give the opportunity to anyone to submit their pictures, pictures that explore the nature, the everyday life, unique places in the world,etc. Of course this contest has its purpose: the promotion of their LG Viewty phones. I have already visited the Web site of this contest and it seems intersting.

The “Viewtyful World” photo contest starts from April 10 and will end on June 11. On the Web site you can notice that there are three categories of photos that can be submitted: night view, retouch, and moments. For this contest, LG is in association with Yahoo and National Geographic- the highest-quality photojournalism in the world.

And of course there are prizes too. Guess what are the weekly prizes? Yes, LG Viewty phones. But only two winners will be chosen by viewers-by voting online-and the best photo of all will be selected by a National Geographic photographer. The final winner will see his/her winning work in a National Geographic magazine and will also receive a fee of US $10,000.
