WeSay.com is an online news site that focuses on news photos from mainstream media and amateur photographers. Prizes for the best photos entered in the contest which ends Oct. 17, 2008 are: three Apple iPhones plus gift certificates for $100, $75 and $50 from Photographer's Warehouse and a EuroBook gift certificate from dotPhoto. Honorable Mentions will also be issued for each category. The channels on the site and contest categories are: News, Politics, Environment, Celebs, Sports, and Far-out. There are special sub-categories in each area such as: Community Activism, Political Rallies, Who's Going Green?, Summer Sports, Local Musicians and Weird Pets. There are no fees to enter. Photographers retain the rights to their photographs and photos will not be resold or redistributed. "There are many photo contests out there that require entrants to pay a fee with their submissions, but WeSay's contest is totally free," Vice President Robert Caston said. "We have 12 categories to enter and seven prizes to give away. We're looking for photographs from anywhere so everybody has a chance to win." The contest is open to amateur photographers only. WeSay.com promotes the work of amateur photographers and hopes to launch many into careers as photojournalists. "We want to give the average person a voice in how the news is covered and this is a great opportunity for them to display their photos right on the homepage of a major news Web site," WeSay President Jim DeBoth said.
