Last years results are here: 2014 Leica Oskar Barnack Public Award

Last year we gave away ten Leica C cameras to ten I SHOT IT members. To win a camera all they needed to do was add a vote.

The Settings Page now has a new font menu. You can choose from a number of different fonts, and in an instant change how the I SHOT IT website looks. Combined with the background theme setting, I SHOT IT is becoming more and more customizable. We think it's fun to allow everyone to customise the look of this website, and we've now made it easy to do so. Some people may find that some fonts are clearer and more readable than others, so it does have a practical purpose.

We have started with a selection of nine free fonts. There are many free fonts that are difficult to read and messy to look at, so I hope that you like the ones we have chosen. One of my personal favorites is the Ubuntu font, which I'm using at the moment white I write this blog entry. If there are any fonts that you would like us to add to this list, please let us know : Contact Us.

We'd like to thank all of our hard-working judging team for their commitment to our continued success.

Our biggest innovation this year has been the Mobile Phone Panorama Competition, recognising that mobile phones are rapidly becoming the 'digital camera in your pocket' - and who didn't have a 'selfie' stick or a sports camera on their wishlist this year?
