Just wondering if any one has noticed/checked out this link which has been showing up on the google ads on shuttertalk?

I don't think I will enter because it is redirecting to an ip (http://38.203.66.38/) which can some times mean the site has been hijecked and there are no "Sponsers" etc, it (IMO) seems a little scammy to me. Just wondering if anyone else has checked it out?

Gear:
3 x GoPro Cameras
1 x Canon S100
1 x Nikon D5100
1 x Sony DSC-TX10
Apple MacBook Pro 15" (Retina Display)

I'd recognize that picture anywhere. That's an image from www.picture.com, and yes, they are a scam. Well not really, because I guarantee you'll win. "Wha?", you say? It's one of those sites where they tell everybody they're a finalist, and their work is going to be published, and you can get a special deal on the book if you order it now, etc etc. The thing goes on and on and if you're pesky you can get a plaque with a cheapo printout of your image saying it was added to their "international library of photography" thing.

If you''ve got time to goof around with internet contests, check out this site:

I've entered a contest that I suspect might also be a hoax but I still have fun seeing what kinds of votes I get... It's user judged, you can check out my latest submission here:

Anyways, take care!
