revamped

World Press Photo today announced major changes to its prestigious photo contest for 2016. There's now a new code of ethics, the first time the 60-year-old contest has published such a thing, as well as revised rules and detailed guidance for entries.

500px today unveiled revamped profile, photo, and discover pages that aim to deliver a better experience to the 6+ million member community. The company says the new designs are based on user feedback, have been tested over the past few months, and have the goal of "enabling and rewarding visual creativity."

It looks like 500px is putting its recent $13M in funding to good use: the company today announced a redesigned app for iOS that focuses on simplicity, personalization, and social. The company's goal is to showcase user photographs better and to make them more discoverable for other users on iPhones and iPads.

On the heels of Flickr's major redesign, Instagram has launched a new look of its own. The photo-sharing social network has revamped its website, replacing its old style with one that's simple and sparse.
