Flickr searching for the best user photos
In a bid to come up with five of its users' best images, the photo-sharing site Flickr, is currently having a contest to do just that.
It's called the "Blink of an Eye" contest. The idea is that users can each submit one photo, and then a panel of five judges will sift through them (there are already 1,490 images up for consideration) and choose the best five.
Those shots will then be put on display for a one-night exhibition at a gallery in New York in August.
This should be interesting, as one thing about Flickr is that there are an awful lot of fantastic photographers among its users. And of course, asking a photographer to choose his or her "best" photo is a fun challenge.
Stay tuned to the "Blink of an Eye" Flickr page, as all new submissions will be posted there, and the deadline to be considered is not until July 5.
