I know a lot of you who read this are photographers, and a lot (perhaps most) of you are from Toronto or go there a lot. If there is any overlap between those two groups, then you'll want to know about Lenzr. It's a Toronto photo contest where you win prizes that are actually pretty sweet, for uploading the most popular photos as judged by visitors to the site. Anyone can vote without even registering (i.e., spam your Facebook, Twitter, and blog to get people to vote for you).
There are currently three contests going on:

Best Toronto Skyline: The last photo contest is exactly what it sounds like. You can win a Pentax camera for this one, and it looks like a good one. It records 720p high definition video, and has "Pixel Track Shake Reduction," which sounds like a Japanese dancing/cooking video game, so I'm sure it's very useful. I can't see there being much variation in the candidates here; the skyline is the skyline, so every good picture should look like every other good picture. Unless, of course, you add your own little touches. Like, say, a giant monster that someone accidentally let loose on Toronto. Again, just sayin'.
To meet other people involved in the contest and/or learn how to game the system, check out the Lenzr blog and Lenzr forum. There's also more about it over on blogfriend Dead Robot's blog.
I know many of you are fantastic photographers (e.g., those who participated in the highly successful Worldwide Photo Walk), so get snapping and make it snappy. Because the site just launched, there's a very good chance of winning while it's still relatively small. Prizes and fame will be yours
