Our world is a beautiful mosaic of people with different beliefs, different hopes and different dreams. It is our humble effort at Lifeblob to collate photos of people from around the world and showcase them on a single platform for the world to see.

With this in mind we have started the second edition of the photography contest entitled “People of the world”.

Submit photos of the people you have seen or met, people for different walks of life or just photos of you hanging out with your friends, invite your friends to see your contribution and vote for it. If your entries happen to be the most popular ones then you could win some cool prizes.

The “Life is fun” contest ended on a grand note on the 15th of October. The general response to this contest far exceeded our expectations and this has motivated us to do more such contests.

Most of the contestants found the easy to use interface and the ability to login through facebook/google IDs very helpful as this allowed them to concentrate on showcasing their best creations.
