Today we proudly present the winner of our 3 000 000th image competition. The contributor who uploaded most images in the 3 million seconds after our image 3 million is Mrs. Ana Liza S. Steiert from Berlin with the impressive number of 3,719 images. With Ana we found a particularly typical Fotolian who perfectly reflects what Fotolia is about. She was born 1965 in the Philippines. Following a career in the hotel and catering sector she has lived and worked in Macau, New Delhi, Dubai, Cairo and Berlin. Ana’s husband Oliver is a famous chef granting her access to the knowledge and ingredients necessary for food photography. Most of her images are actual co-productions with Oliver. Ana sent us a very private and interesting letter describing her photographic career and illustrating her story with images from her private album. Ana writes:

Three years ago Fotolia launched with nothing, zero images and no customers. Now we have over 3 million images online, each week 40,000 new images are added, and the new registrations keep coming.

All of this is thanks to you, our 80,000 contributors. In order to celebrate this milestone, we are organizing a special contest.

3,000 Credits will be awarded to the contributor with the largest number images submitted and accepted in the next 3,000,000 seconds. This means if you want to carry home those 3,000 Credits you have about 34 days to pump those images onto our servers.

The winner of the contest and the 3,000 Fotolia Credits will be announced on this blog.

Again we thank all of our contributors for their hard work and support.

It was a long and hard journey, but eventually version 2 of our site is near finalisation. As V2 will not look too different in terms of design (we focus on performance and we actually do like the current design :) ) we count on our dear contributors to give it a different look. So once again your design skills are requested to create a new logo for the Fotolia start page. Since it is V2 we have doubled the usual prize and the winner of the contest is going to receive 200 credits!

Join in for the Fotolia Easter logo contest! Win 100 credits and have your Easter logo on the Fotolia website - worldwide! After the new year's logo now it is time for Easter and we are counting on your creativity and your skills to decorate the Fotolia website for this occasion.

Thousands of you have dived into the Fotolia image pool for your seasonal dip - and more than 600 sent us good answers !

We are very happy to announce the results of the Fotolia New Year logo design competition. We received more than 100 logos from over 70 members. Contributions were of a very high standard and it has not been easy to find a winner. In deciding, we have taken into consideration many aspects: respect of technical requirements (size, format, color); aesthetical (beauty, finesse); any supporting correspondance sent with it explaining the thinking behind the design and how it will integrate with the Fotolia website design.

As you can see on the website, we customized the logo for Christmas. We would like to do the same for new year and we would like to use your creativity.

There are 2 chances to win the recently-launched, award-winning Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI, worth over £90 each.
