About

Ever since Damien Seguy brought the joy of the plush Elephpants upon us, there has been an unwritten rule in the community: if you have one, you need to photograph it and put its picture online.

We (Cal and Ivo) noticed that elephpants like to travel so we decided to make a little site dedicated to the traveling elephpant.

As it happens with ideas, they often get out of hand: we decided to create a contest. And we got our companies to sponsor some prizes. And then we got some other companies to sponsor prizes too.

The best pictures that are on the site by the end of the year win a prize. We have a professional jury - the PHPWomen - to judge the pictures.

There are only a few guidelines:

  1. To submit a picture for consideration just upload your elephpant picture to flickr and tag it with ‘ewt08‘.
  2. All pictures have to do with traveling elephpants. An elephpant enjoying the view is ok, an elephpant sniffing coke is not.
  3. Pictures you upload need to be your own.
  4. Pictures need to be released under a CC license.

Here are the prizes so far:

  1. A copy of Zend Studio Professional, graciously donated by Zend
  2. An entrance ticket for the Dutch PHP Conference ‘09, graciously donated by Ibuildings
  3. Two 50$ gift certificates for the php|a store, graciously donated by php|architect
  4. Signed copies of Cal and Ivo’s books, donated by ourselves.
  5. 2 License Keys for Flex Builder Professional, donated by Adobe

More prizes might be added so check back soon!

Have fun,

Cal and Ivo
