Competitions and cards

In the course of my Coastcard activities, I come across other greetings card and/or photographic sites (some with competitions). The following ones have caught my eye recently:

• The Hallmark site with its blog.
• The Medici Award, Royal Horticultural Society (photographic card competition: no caption or poem required).
• The Linden Postcard Show, St Kilda, Australia.
• Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2008.
• Environmental Photographer of the Year 2008 (closing date: 31 July, so hurry).
  
• The Nature Conservancy Photographic Competition (winning entry to appear in the 2010 Nature Conservancy calendar)
