Submit your best shot to our weekly competition for a chance to win an awesome prize. Phoneographers only—both Android and iPhone welcome! Check it out now.

Taking photos with a cell phone is both convenient and addictive. After switching to the iPhone several months ago, I've already racked up a solid 450 shots or so—a fair amount of which were taken with Instagram. Luckily, the wildly popular app has spurred endless sites and products servicing the pics people capture, so if you happen to have an amazing shot or two (or twenty or thirty), why not show off your best stuff?

Before we dive into the options below, first thing's first—if you're reading this article, you're likely an Instagram user, and we want to see your work! Submit your favorite photo to this week's Giveaway Tuesday for a chance to win an iPhone stand and tripod mount. You have until Monday, August 22nd, 11:59pm PST to participate, and the competition is looking stiff—(More info here).
