Absolutely, though for round 2 you may want to borrow a friend's camera as we will require a 1000px image.

Awesome! Yeah! I will try to find a friend! :0 Thanks for the reply! Hehe

I plan on entering!

NicoleC · 04-08-2014, 11:56 AM

With the competition around here and the prevailing taste not going my way, I doubt I'll get far but I sure could use a second K3 body.

Pande · 04-08-2014, 12:15 PM

I give it a try and see....

Thanks to Adam and the rest at PF for give us this chance. And the best, everybody can participate.

Thanks for the heads up!!!
It is a great incentive to shoot evey picture like it was for an entry... Just like back in the days of shooting with film...

I can't wait for the announcement!

Nice another contest!

what was the last thing I've ever won from a contest? Pele signed world cup 1998 soccer ball from pizza hut.

I hope I'll win this

stevebrot · 04-08-2014, 01:08 PM

Man...All I take are crappy photos...

Steve

**savoche** · 04-08-2014, 01:23 PM

I might enter. I mean, somebody's got to submit the photos not going to the finals as well...

Nice prize, though!

billyc847 · 04-08-2014, 01:33 PM

Can we enter more than one photo, or is the decision we will have to make going to be as hard as the decision the judges are (likely) going to have to make?

Peter Pen · 04-08-2014, 02:07 PM

Well, the prize probably won't be the Silver Special Edition; I'd gladly take that off your hands!

kickman · 04-08-2014, 02:23 PM

Great !! K3 coming to Costa Rica !!

The contest is fine, but hopefully it doesn't involve providing names, addresses, phone numbers before the winner is chosen. Most of these are sold by companies after the fact. Data sales are one of the largest generators of income on the net, in retail, etc. However, there is no reason people need to provide their information up-front. Usernames and passwords should be sufficient to submit a photo so if that is all they need, fine.
