I am very happy you are working with this! Some thoughts: 0) I am not certain what it could mean in an international perspective, but I am certain that in Sweden, with very high smartphone and flatrate mobile internet penetration, this would make a huge difference. 1) The minimal requirement from the app is that you could do an upload that has enough metadata to enter the contest directly from the phone. 2) Suggestions on nearby objects.
