By competing in epic challenges against millions of photographers, you can get instant feedback from over three billion monthly votes and increase your ranking from Newbie to achieve the ultimate status (and bragging rights) of Guru.
Challenges are voted on by the platform's Gurus and the wider community, and there’s a fresh challenge every day. Winners can receive prizes from GuruShots' sponsors such as Adorama, Kodak, Lowepro and Lensbaby.
The 'Beauty of Earth' challenge celebrated the overwhelming images of beauty that were provided by our planet. The winners, and a selection of commended images were published in Photography Week, and we're pleased to share the full top 102 photographs here.
