OT question

OT question

2008-01-27 by Tim Timmermans

Has anyone noticed the ad for Photo Laureates at the bottom of these 
yahoo pages that offers a $6500 prize for top photograph. It also 
offers to promote your work.

It asks you to agree to their terms of agreement but I don't see those 
terms posted anywhere.

Is it bogus as I suspect or if you "do" happen to have a totally one of 
a kind miracle photograph that might even be pulitzer worthy would it 
be worth while to submit it?

Better still, if you did have such a photograph what might you do with 
it.


Thanks,

Tim (who miraculously has such a photograph)

Ha. Figured as much. Thanks John
