I quite frequently get e-mails for people who want me to promote their site, and I can’t blame them. After all, this website rules more than words can possibly describe (I guess I’ve been reading a little too much of Maddox‘ work recently).

A large proportion of the sites I get e-mails about are various competitions etc, and most of them are complete and utter rubbish. So when I got an e-mail from Will, suggesting I have a look at his photo of the day competition website, I was elated – finally, a decent example of how it should be done!

There are more photography competitions out there than you can shake a stick at, which is completely silly, as most of them are piss-poor excuses to get a lot of photos for free (which has been discussed before). But EarthShots is completely different – Quite apart from the fact that the quality of the website is great, the competition is so sharp it’s nearly vicious. And hell, if you ever needed any inspiration, the Earthshots archive is hardly the worst place to start!

Check out Earthshots, you might just like it!
