I asked pixmac if this is correct and got in reply

yes, it is legitimate competition organised by Heroturko together with Pixmac. Feel free to take part!


Personally I'm amazed at the logic of teaming up with a pirate site (and asked for them to close my account)?  I'm sure every image gotten with the 'free' credits will be straight back onto heroturko to be 'shared'.

Hi

I asked pixmac if this is correct and got in reply

yes, it is legitimate competition organised by Heroturko together with Pixmac. Feel free to take part!

however they have since come back to me and I'm the 2nd person to mention it and said that they are taking in serious and looking into it now and ASAP

thinking laterally, is Pixmac really working with Heroturko ? or is Heroturko
really Pixmac,  and vice versa?   

Sorry for this guys. The contest was cancelled ASAP. We're now watching our steps more.

Two months for a reply to your association with a pirate site? Cool. That's the way to build confidence.
