X Marks The Spot Photo Contest - Winners Announced
Congratulations to the Winners:
Winner: Best Overall Photo
Winner: Public iPod
Winner: Historic iPod
Winner: Transport iPod
After an extended absence, iLounge’s photo contest has returned! Thanks to Mediafour, publisher of XPlay software for iPods, we’re announcing the “X Marks the Spotâ€? photo contest - four different challenges with a total of four prizes. To enter, all you have to do is submit a creative photograph of yourself with an iPod at each themed location. Photos will be judged on the creative depiction of iPods in the context of each week’s theme.
We’ll announce a new theme every two weeks, and pick winners of each theme. At the end of evey two weeks, only submissions for the new theme will qualify as entries. After all four themes have been completed, we’ll pick one winner per theme. The best entry overall will win the grand prize, with the three runners up taking second prizes.
The winners will be announced Wednesday, July 20, 2005. Thank you to all who participated and good luck! Check out all the cool entries.
Three runners-up will receive both an XPlay software package for the iPod and a $100 Amazon.com gift certificate. One grand prize winner will receive both XPlay software and a $500 Amazon.com gift certificate. The winners will be selected after all submissions have been received.

strange… For 3 or 4 days it has been saying that the server is down, and not only refusing to let me upload my photo, but also viewing others.

Yes, unfortunately in the middle of this contest we had to suddenly move servers. The photo galleries will be back up ASAP so you can browse and upload photos again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I see by the rules, it states;
one entry per person per segment,
a person must be in the photo (as well as an iPod)
but what I am seeing is lots of rule breaking (no people in some pictures, multiple entry’s per week..the cooper people are a good example of this in the transportation section) I am seeing lots of photo manipulation, is this OK? personally I do not think that should be allowed (but I don’t make the rules).
so are any of the above going to be enforced? or is it the heck with the rules, anything goes?

We accepted some photos to fill out the gallery a bit, but only judged those that met the rules above. Also, we extended deadlines for each themed location to allow for more photos to be submitted per a 2 week period. We then shortened the overal contest by removing a fourth themed location.
I apologize for any confusion, and I promise more great contests in the future. I hope that all of you will consider entering the iPod World Flags photo contest. It has great prizes by Shure.
Best,
