Hi Snap-Shotters.

After 3 years of running the worlds favorite world wide photographic treasure hunt, we have decided to take a little break and re-schedule the next Snap-Shot-City event to early 2009. We are very very sorry if this causes you any inconveniance or disapointment!

We love creating world wide fun for you and We are so pleased that so many of you love playing with us, exploring your cities and sharing your adventures and unique perspectives. It has been amazing watching Snap-Shot-City grow from a crazy idea into a huge living breathing global community.

Like you, we are also spread out all over the world. Now some of us are moving from one place to another place far far away. Some of us are launching new business ventures. Some of us are on holidays.

What this means is that we have decided it is best for everyone to re-scheduled the next Snap-Shot-City event to a time when we can all concentrate on making it the best it can be.

When we come back we hope to bring you some fabulous new features, collaborations and capabilities. We hope you’ll understand and keep in touch. We just need a little time.

Watch this space for updates and email us here if you would like to know more. We’ll be back soon! We promise!

Hello World

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:55:25 -0400

Hello World, we’re (back) inside your computer.

After a looooong night of trawling though snap-shots and bantering over shot merits, we forced ourselves to whittle them down to the best, which you can now see here.

Congratulations London! You have won the 2008 Snap-Shot-City trans Atlantic duel!

NYC put in a valiant effort (especially considering the 40+C temps!) but LDN proved the better marksman (markscity??) on the day with the final score: NYC – 9 / LON – 11

Cheers, hugs and high fives to you all for playing. We hope you join us again in September when Snap-Shot-City takes on the world. Stay tuned for details… and keep snapping.

Put the cameras down London, Snap-Shot-City is done!*

To complete the Snap-Shot duel London has answered to the New York challenge with equally amazing results. So its with a slightly groggy head post H&S party we say: “Well done everyone!”

As the dust settles over the next few days, our expert team of judges will review the shots and do our very best to settle the NYC vs. LDN score. Please refrain from any trans-Atlantic name calling during this period, however any emailed arguments for why your home town should win are encouraged, and please note that lucrative bribes would not be frowned upon!

Stay tuned!

Because we are nice, you can still upload for a little longer.
