A place can be more than just a location. This theme is about your favorite surroundings. An isolated beach, the sunny corner you escape to, or the home your family grew up in—capture that special place and show us why your surroundings mean the most to you.

This theme is sponsored by the Samsung G800, the world's first camera phone to include a 3x optical inner zoom and 5 megapixel camera, giving you the power to capture all the details that make your surroundings special.

In addition, we have teamed up with CrunchGear and TechCrunch UK to select the five photographs that best represent the Surroundings theme. Those photographers will win a free Samsung G800 camera phone worth $600. Editors from TechCrunch UK and CrunchGear will select the 5 winners, but you need to submit your photo by December 31st, 2007.



Please note that the G800 is designed for GSM networks only, so check with your mobile operator. Select photos from this theme will also be featured on the Samsung site.
