trambeia asked:
I've been keeping an eye out for some kind of announcement on who won the last few weeks' competitions, but have yet to see anything. I'm guessing this is due to the large number of submissions, but are you guys still selecting winners? If so, will there be a public notification? Thanks!

Enter the Work of Art Writing and Photography Contest
We’ve found that taking on an entire museum just doesn’t do justice to the works contained within. This week’s theme narrows the focus to a particular work of art that functions as a microdestination unto itself. We’re leaving the concept of a “work of art” quite open to interpretation. It could be a room of Calder mobiles, a mural that captures a neighborhood’s history, an industrial wasteland transformed into a garden of graffiti, ancient paintings in the Kalahari desert, or an architectural detail on a building… enter now.
Last week, we launched an iPhone application. More than 50,000 have installed the new app thousands more responded with writing and photography. You can see some of the results here and here.
Trazzler is a free app that makes it simple for you to find great places nearby. But more than that, it’s a bold new experiment that blends editorial vision and the collective creativity and wisdom of thousands of smart explorers people like you—a place where you collaborate with editors to scout out, photograph, and cover the places you love best.
Every week, Trazzler runs photo and writing contests on fun (and even thought-provoking) themes. You can win money, trips, and prizes just for exploring new places and sharing the things you love to do.
The first rule of Trazzler: Be selective. Every single place you find on Trazzler is here because we think it’s good. Period. Real people are working behind the scenes to keep Trazzler clutter free and put the focus on the best places and the best contributors.
Download our free app and you’ll see what we mean:
- Find editorially vetted places close to you.
- Scout out new places and send them to our editors who will review them and respond within 24 hours.
- Submit a photo on any place to enter this week’s contest.
- Follow friends and other contributors with similar interests and tastes.
- Find out when new places are added close to you.
- Get notified every week when new contests and prizes launch.
- Create a professional portfolio of photos and writing with feedback from editors.
- Read our creative manifesto to see how serious we are about changing the way that people explore the world and share photos and writing about their favorite places.
