It’s hard to imagine a world without water, from the grand oceans to the quiet lakes, water is alive with plants, animals, sea life and more. It provides constant enjoyment for children through sprinklers, fountains and waterslides. Even endless, impulsive geysers provide Wet & Wild! amusement for us all.

Win a Tamron AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR VC Di Aspherical (IF)

The only rules on the subject matter are that the pictures be in good taste and include water. Be creative and enter as often as you like.

This is the most ridiculous “contest” I have ever seen. The rules are very vague. After uploading FOUR photos…the webmaster of their site explained that you must have taken the shot using a TAMRON lens. I dont understand why a person already using TAMRON lenses would want another as a prize…
The person that put this contest together is an imbecile.

Thank you Jason for your opinion. It will be valuable for others who might want to enter. Actually this is what I wanted this blog to become - a place to discuss all these sometimes questionable competitions so that photographers know what to expect from a contest.
Thanks again for your feedback!

i find the rules too limiting! why US residents only? there are a lot of non-US residents who would like to join i suppose…can u not expand that rule to become more worldwide?
