Every week we do a fun photography contest in the Windows Central forums. Each week we go with a different theme and get so many good entries into the contest. But without fail we also have a handful of readers who aren't sure on how to submit their photos from Windows Phone into the forums. Here's how you can use the excellent forum app Tapatalk to enter our weekly photo contests!
Install Tapatalk
Tapatalk is one of the best apps in the Windows Phone and Windows Store for interacting with forums. You can use Tapatalk to navigate and discover over 50,000 new online forums. We're one of those forums that support Tapatalk. Our current Windows Central app is unable to upload photos to the forums, and that's a feature to look forward in the future. For now, Tapatalk is the best way to upload photos to our forums on Windows Phone. So let's download it!
Take a great picture
To enter the contest you're going to want to bring your best photo! We have a new theme each week so that everyone has a chance to shoot a subject they're interested in or passionate about. For example, animals are the theme this week. So snap a great photo of an animal with your Windows Phone. Have your pic? OK great! Let's upload it to the forums!
