I've just placed an entry after seeing OCAU's postings on this earlier today. Sounds like a great comp - $100 voucher given away every week. :) Of course doesn't hold a candle to our forum comps' prizes, but still... $100 at Teds should be enough for... maybe a UV filter or two photo albums. ;)

Small UV filter, or maybe secondhand?
I know, half a dozen 6 x 4 prints... :D

At Ted's prices, you mean a 256MB card, right? :)

Na you can talk them down :) I've always managed to talk them right down in price, not that I'll have to now with our Patron Saints around...

And just think if you pay an extra $25 for a 1G card it's only $25 that you've spent ...

Cheers

I've also just entered.. it's amazing the security on that website. They obviously don't want us to see the full images or they'd link from the thumbnails.. so open the URL of the thumbnail image and remove '-thumbnail' from the address..

It's amazing the stuff that's being submitted.. shows how blessed we are as a community..
