Web 2.0 - Real World Photography Contest
I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you about a contest that will be starting on August 1st and ending on September 30th. I’d love to see if anything dealing with Web 2.0 exists in the real world which is why this is a Web 2.0 photography contest. The idea is simple. Take a photo of anything that resembles Web 2.0. This could be objects with rounded corners, pastel colors, unique billboard advertisements, architecture, perhaps a product name with the word BETA next to it. Anything that you think you would see in the world of Web 2.0. At the end of the month, I will go through all of the entries to judge which one best represents Web 2.0 and the winner will receive a free Flickr Pro Account which will be good for one year.
In order to submit your entries, please visit Jeffro2pt0 the official Flickr Group for this contest and join the group. Entries submitted in any other way will be discarded.
Here is the low down concerning the contest, also known as rules:
- 2 Entries Per Group Member
- No Photoshopped Images
- Do not use multiple Flickr accounts
- Nothing Pornographic or Violent In Nature
I reserve the right to determine whether an image is a rule breaker or not and these rules could be updated or changed at any time prior to the contest completion date. Have fun, and lets see how creative you people are!

Count Dave and I in!
Awesome. I have received some questions in regard to rule #2 concerning the use of Photoshop. I will explain it here so other folks will understand.
I said no Photoshopped images because I want the images to be photos taken with a camera. The photos should be of objects in the real world that remind you of web 2.0 For example, the other day I was reading a label for a product at the grocery store and one of the ingredients included the word BETA. If I were entering this contest, I would of taken a picture of that area highlighting the word BETA as that is synonymous with web 2.0
I hope this eliminates the confusion.

If only I took a picture of the BlogTV.ca van I saw once… Oh well…
I submitted a photo after joining the Flickr group but it is not on display. People have probably posted but not seen. Admin setting issue?
I see, indeed, there was a photo waiting for me in the queue. I’ve changed the settings now so photos do not need to be moderated in order to be put on display. Thanks for your entry, Geology 2.0 seems interesting.
The contest deadling has been extended, due to the lack of entries received thus far. http://www.jeffro2pt0.com/contest-deadline-extended/
