More than 60 brand new images from these photographers can be viewed at the Symantec website, Nokia Nseries' online community for mobile photography enthusiasts. And the five photographers aren't just inspiring entrants with their images, they'll also be judging entries and offering a money can't buy prize: the chance to spend a day with them assisting on photoshoot.
