PSFK Cool Hunt: May

CLICK. FLICK. WIN.

Come enter the PSFK Cool Hunt competition using

The PSFK Cool Hunt is a photo competition that PSFK runs using Flickr. We want to see what’s cool/hot/now from around the world.

Why? Well let’s just say we’re extremely nosey.
And it sounded like fun when we came up with the idea in the pub (See some of the pics already submitted here).

How You Enter

1. You add you pictures to the PSFK COOL HUNT group on Flickr with the required tags
2. Repeat (1)

So the basics…

We’re looking for 2 kinds of pic:

• A general pic of something you think is cool/hot/wow/’goin’ on’ - as specific or abstract as you want
• A pic about a specific theme that we choose each month - May’s theme is  coolbike

How it works:

• You upload an image to Flickr
• When you upload the pic you need to Tag it with PSFK and the city/place you took it and the country - if you are entering it for this month’s theme also tag it with coolbike. Some description about what it is we’re looking at and why you like it would
• You make sure you add it to the PSFK COOL HUNT group
• You can upload as many images as you want

Why you should join in:

• Why the PSFK not? We’re doing this for the hell of it.
• The photos are going to be judged by a top notch photographer and some trendy NYC creative folk
• And - there are prizes!!

Prizes?! What are the prizes?

• So it’s not 100% confirmed - but I think we’re giving away 4 camera bags kindly donated by Crumpler this month (watch this space)

• Psst! Want to offer a prize for next month’s PSFK Cool Hunt? Email Piers

The Judges

• Francis Hills shoots
  celebrity, fashion and beauty images from his Manhattan studio with his
  Hasselblad H1. He is a digital photography evangelist shooting folk
  like Willem Defoe, The Bravery and Alan Cumming and his work has
  appeared in lots of posh mags. He will judge the photography.
• The Fold are a New York based
  underground arts and design studio responsible for some of the most
  innovative design and art direction from the East Coast. They will
  judge the best ’spots’.

Anything Else?

The winners will be published on the PSFK site - and anywhere else we can get a mention.
You agree by the terms of the competition below.

Some Rules To PSFK Cool Hunt On Flickr

1. We can change the rules anytime we want but there will always be winners.
2. If someone comes along with better
   items to offer you guys as prizes we retain the right to change them,
   giving notice on this page.
3. No PSFK + CITY/LOCATION + COUNTRY tags, no entry
4. If someone starts dicking us about
   we’ll disqualify them from the competition - e.g. some idiot
   repetitively and deliberately adds their company’s products to the
   Flickr site.
5. By entering (see Rule 3), the
   participant grants PSFK permission to use your image to promote the
   PSFK Cool Hunt on our site, in press releases - and we can put it in
   PSFK Cool Hunt review documents.
6. No images will be sold or used in
   stuff like advertising (except for PSFK Cool Hunt promotion) - if
   anyone does approach us about an image, we will pass the lead onto the
   person who took the shot.
7. The judge is subject to change. You know how busy these folk can get.
8. Each month we will review prizes and judges.
9. If this all starts to become a
   pain, e.g. somehow we get sued, we can close the competition down at
   any time with no winners. We hope that will never happen.
10. The competition is open to anyone who contributes to PSFK. Piers and Simon can’t win.
11. It’s for fun. Remember that.
12. Why are you reading this? You should be uploading your shots to Flickr.
