New EOS Photochains hero-chain challenge announced: 'Summer'

828

Congratulations to Janis, winner of the latest Canon EOS Photochains hero-chain challenge!



Janis has won an EOS 500D Single IS Lens Kit valued at RRP $1,649 and 'Summer' is now the new inspiration/tag for the hero chain.

We love the tag 'Summer' because it leaves so much room for creative interpretation. We cannot WAIT to see where all you Photochainers take this one so GOOD LUCK!

If you are in need of some inspiration, watch this space as we have asked Janis to answer some questions about what inspired this winning shot.

Don't forget, you have until 25th March to upload your photos.

Is anybody else having problems viewing the current submissions to the hero-chain?

Hi,

I have been trying for the last few days and can't see any of the images that have been uploaded to the current hero chain.

Also the old link I used for the website now gives a service unavailable message ... I managed to ge to the site by going to the wall and through the world of eos from there.

Thanks

Ben

I uploaded a photo to the hero chain more than 2 days ago, and get an error message trying to browse the entries.  I also haven't been notified that my entry has been accepted or rejected.  The website seems to have the flu.

Shane said:

There's still some problems.  I can only see the first four of the current submissions to the hero-chain while it states there are 17 entries.

I also get an error when I click the 'My Hero-Chain Submissions'.  I'm guessing lots of people are having the same issues?

Peter said:

This is still a problem. Any ETA on a fix?

Things have gone from bad to worse. Both Photochains and 1Wall sites have gone downhill in a big way. We love you Canon, but there's only so much we will put up with.

I think you need to sack your techie and employ someone sho knows what they are doing.  I have never known a site to experience problems at the rate that Canon EOS does.  I also cannot view all the gallery, last 12 or so are blank and I submitted mine days ago and it is not showing (just as my 1Wall submission didn't and still hasn't even though I emailed it through as requested)

Not happy :(

Worried 2 said:

I'm having the same problems as Ben and Shane, currently page 3 of the submissions is not showing 12 of the photos.  Hope this can be fixed soon!

Meredith said:

Hi All,

Thank you all for your patience while we sort out this glitch.

We have been working hard to make this site more efficient and we apologise for the effect this has had on the most recent round of competition.

You'll be happy to hear that from tonight you should start to see your uploaded images appear on the hero-chain and by the end of the week, all should be running normally.

Janis said:

umm I missed that...what questions am I to answer?

Thanks everyone who thought my photo worthy  xx It's a great and comforting feeling knowing you're not the only one who likes your own shots!

AliC said:

It is the end of the week and obviously the problems are NOT fixed.  My image has been lost and I am not happy.  I also cannot access My Photochains (My submissions to the hero chain) to find out why??  I can't imagine a girl sitting under an umbrella on the beach at sunset would be rejected??
