Last year was claimed as 80,000 people contributing 225,000 images, so they are technically larger in terms of participants if not of results.

Does someone know this challenge? I saw it quite prominently advertised on Metro this Monday. «The Metro Photo Challenge, the world’s biggest photography competition, officially launched on Tuesday», «2013 will mark the seventh Metro Photo Challenge [...] we’re going to ask you to capture more of a process than a thing [...] sensing the world around you». <http://www.metro.us/newyork/**news/2013/09/02/what-inspires-** your-senses-enter-the-2013-**metro-photo-challenge/http://www.metro.us/newyork/news/2013/09/02/what-inspires-your-senses-enter-the-2013-metro-photo-challenge/
http://metrophotochallenge.**com/ http://metrophotochallenge.com/ Are they the previous holders of the Guinness world record ("forgetting" to update their claims) or are they just making it up? I didn't actually try to register but I can't find any information on licensing; interesting that they felt compelled to add a "we'll donate to a charity" incentive. They have 5200 photos and and 2700 uploaders so far.
