Flock isn't about technology. Flock is about a feeling.
While the technology powers Flock, the reason you and I love this browser is because it makes the web fun and easy again. Using Flock gets me excited about going online, keeps me in better contact with my friends, and makes my day easier.
With the new look of Flock's homepage and tour, we're fully embracing this feeling. We scoured Flickr for days finding the perfect images that represented the fun, freedom, and ease of Flock. We've been all smiles viewing these pages day after day as we prepped them for launch.
Of course, nothing is permanent on the web and we're going to want to keep our homepage fresh with some new images in a few months. Which brings us to...
The Flocktography Photo Challenge!
We want to take this fun, relaxed feeling even farther and put YOUR photos on the homepage! Nobody knows the joy that is Flock better than you, and we're sure that you've got tons of photos of you and your friends that will shine on our homepage.
All you have to do is submit your photos. We'll choose the finalists, and your fellow Flockstars will vote on who will be the winners!
The winner of the Flocktography Photo Challenge will have their photo featured on our homepage, and will also receive a collection of awesome Flock swag!
Entering the Challenge
Each Flockstar can submit up to 3 photos to our Flocktography group on Flickr.
Photos must be at least 917px wide by 385px tall.
Any person prominently featured in these photos should have given verbal or signed approval to be featured on flock.com...which means you shouldn't include a celebrity or musician photo unless you can get their approval.
Winning the Challenge
A group of qualified folks at Flock will choose the finalists for the Flocktography photo challenge. Finalists will be called out in a discussion thread on the Flocktography Flickr Group. At that point we'll let you know how YOU can vote for the winners.
Obviously the rules are a little loose for this first contest as we feel it out, but we fully hope to do this again...hopefully with more organization, more submissions, and bigger prizes!Please spread the word about this contest to all your awesome photographer friends (who, of course, you've already turned into Flockstars) so we can have a really awesome set of submissions.
We can't wait to see what you all come up with!
Flock'n'roll,
