Nice April fool
ReplyDeleteIf it is an April Fool, ATP is in on it too, because their website mentions this contest. Quite an elaborate gag! The links on my site seem to work. I like this idea. I would not mind having the equipment!
ReplyDeleteYou may be right, ther aren't many participants visible.
ReplyDeleteGood Job Eduardo, I hope it is not April 1st joke :D
ReplyDeleteWell, this is not April fool. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Eduardo,
ReplyDeleteNice idea! Interesting new dimension for Panoramio.
Only one remark: the descriptions of the categories "Travel" and "Unusual locations" are opposite on the panoramio contest page and the page where you can select the right category for a photo.
Keep up the good work!
Dear Eduardo,
ReplyDeletethanks for starting the contest. I have a problem though: yesterday I submitted 3 photos but I don't see them in the gallery of partecipants. Today I did it with one more and it worked.
Those that did not appear in the gallery do not have the "submit to contest" possibility any longer...
What can we do ?
Considering that you are using one of my pics as an example ( scenery) I expect a kind answer from you !
Thanks in advance
Marco
I have bigger problem, because I do not have any possibility to submit my photos. There is no link "submit contest" under my geolocated photos. Help Eduardo !
ReplyDeleteBTW - I am still aiting for answer concerning moderator :-)
very interesting article
ReplyDeleteI can't see “Submit to the contest” located under each photo.
ReplyDeleteDear Eduardo, I solved all of my minor troubles in the meantime... but I have a suggestion for the future contests: not more than 3 pics per category per person.
ReplyDeleteI have the feeling that letting people load dozens of "so-so" pictures may kill the contest.
Thanks for your attention
Marco
Hello!
ReplyDeleteIhave a problem..I can’t see “Submit to the contest” located under each photo.
Thanks
I would enter the contest but I bought an ATP photofinder a couple of months ago. In fact they lost the first one in the mail but it turned up three weeks later meaning I got two. Neither of them work in any meaningful way. Even in the best conditions it can take an hour or more to find a signal which is then tends to lose at the drop of a hat. I also found that the few it did tag were often way off their original location. Some were even close to ten miles away in places I'd never even been near to.
ReplyDeleteTheir support basically said they couldn't do anything and that it must just be "my area". Considering I tried using it in four cities and on separate sides of the globe I think its the device.
Marco, You are right - not more, than 5 pics per topic !
ReplyDeleteSince some minutes ago you can submit your photos from April to the Panoramio contest, now all your photos uploaded in April will have the link “submit to the contest”. Those photos can be voted during May, then they will get the “vote” button.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the winners of photos uploaded in March, that are being voted in April, will be known on May 15th.
Great for GEO people! Suggest prize: Volunteers offer bases/place to stay, and presentations for travellers in their areas: Mine, I can for Ladakh travel from Chandigarh, India

ReplyDeleteCan't find an address to email to so this appears to be the next best thing. just got an email from panoramio, someone had left a comment to say thanks for publishing a photo and that i had qualified for a special gift and to click. don't know the names and not game to click. comment was from Altobelljanessa1954. Does anyone know if it's legitimate or not.
ReplyDeleteIs this contest only for US citizens since I don't find any link "Submit to the contest" under any photo?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the criteria?
