Some quick questions about the photos for this contest:

1. Do the photos have to be taken specifically for this contest? I assume yes, otherwise where's the participation aspect?.. In the first post, above, you do say, "The objective is simple; simply go out, take a few snaps...".
2. Will the 'shortlist' created by the staff actually be a long list of all the entries, or just a selection of the 'best' (as deemed by the staff) to vote on?
3. Can participants submit their three photos, then decide before the deadline to swap one entry for a newer, better photo they've just taken?

Some nice photos so far in these early hours, hopefully lots more will roll in over the next week or so.
