Having posted already today on the ongoing contest between cameraphones and digital cameras, LG is hammering the point home with a new mobile photography competition based around its Viewty handset, in partnership with Yahoo and National Geographic magazine.
It’s all about uploading your best shots to the Viewtyful World community (ouch!) for other users to vote on. Every week, three Viewty handsets will be given away – two to people chosen by the community, and one awarded by National Geographic’s top snappers.
That’s not all. Eventually, eight finallists will be chosen, with the ultimate winner getting their shots featured in a Viewty advertorial in the National Geographic itself, as well as a $10,000 copyright fee (i.e. prize). Competition promises to be pretty stiff, so don’t assume that blurry snaps of your cat licking its bum will see you quids in. This is the National Geographic: they’ve got more class than that.
