I wish they were illegal here. Maybe we should try to be more like Icelanders.

Hi IceRock,

Just because you don't have billboards in iceland shouldn't really effect your ability to enter. I mean, you know what they are and what they look like. Not seeing 100's on your way to the office each morning might even help you be more creative in your interpretation. Good luck.

IceRock,

Remember this challenge is not to take a photo *of* a billboard, but to take a photo you might expect to see "on" a billboard.

You should still be able to come up with something even though they don't have billboards in Iceland.

I'm in Italy and they have billboards all over, usuwally with the hottest girls wearing close to nothing. Let's just say these kind wouldn't be allowed back home (US)!
