Bing Opens Up Competition For Homepage Photo Spot

The Bing search engine is well known for its stunning photo images on its home page--the search engine's effort to differentiate itself from goliath competitor Google--and which have been a great showcase for professional photographers. However, it looks like Bing is giving amateur photographers the chance to get their own chance at the spotlight, through a new contest, the company announced this morning, where it is seeking entries from any photographer for their own chance at the home page photo. Bing said it is looking for images that highlight and capture the "beauty of your hometown" in the contest, and will be accepting images on Facbeook until September 3rd. Bing said it will feature the winner on October 1st, plus award a package of prizes to the photographer.
