Competition – Win an Olympus PEN Mini E-PM1
It’s been about a month since we took over PhotoBotos.com and we’ve been extremely busy! Hopefully a lot of the changes have been seamless (certainly no-one seems to’ve raised any issues).
Most recently we have integrated support for social network accounts into the commenting mechanism and right now we are in the process of changing the e-mail subscription service (we’re looking for something free which ideally integrates with the site- drop us a note if you know of a product which may be of interest to us).
We hope to post a poll in the near future to get more of your feedback and suggestions, but in the meantime don’t hesitate to drop us an e-mail lee@photobotos.com or comment on this post.
One last note before we get on to the competition… PhotoBotos is a free site, but we do incur a lot of costs with hosting etc (not to mention the many hours we pour into managing, maintaining, improving and supporting the site). We claw back a small amount of these costs by placing adverts on the site (we have tried to minimize this as much as possible) along with affiliate links for Amazon- please support us by using these (especially the Amazon search on the right hand side of this page if you’re considering making a purchase).
So, on to the competition: We have the brand new Olympus PEN Mini E-PM1 (pictured above) up for grabs- and here’s all you have to do to be in with a chance of winning:
- Link to us from your blog/website
- Like/follow us on facebook/twitter/other social networks
- Follow/subscribe to this blog (link on the right hand side of every page)
- Share our posts on facebook/twitter/other social media
- Submit photos
- Comment on photos (constructive- we don’t want to encourage hundreds of “wow” posts)
- Donate to our hosting/admin fund
A winner will be picked at random by the end of May.

Here’s a review from dpreview:
Currently under $300 on Amazon.com and under £180 on Amazon.co.uk a great idea if you don’t want to break the bank, want to dip your toes in the water, or maybe want a gift to get a friend/relative started.
Thank you to all of you who already support us everyday by submitting, visiting, commenting and sharing- without you PhotoBotos would not exist!
Share and Enjoy
