Photo Group:

Snippet from Adhack:

The ads DO NOT have to be official sponsor advertising; they can be anything you see as being directly related to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Plus, we want to see the most original and unique forms of advertising – not just billboards and signs, but crazy window displays, or people wearing sandwich boards – the possibilities are endless. Check out the photos that have been added to the group already.

Near the end of the Olympics, we’ll start a conversation about which ads were most awesome, most effective and even most terrible. We may even have an awards show.

How to Play!

1. Join the “Advertising at Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games” group.
2. Take photos of Olympic ads.
3. Upload photos to Flickr and add them to the group.
4. Tag your photos with brand and company names.
5. Geotag your photos with Flickr’s built in map.
