Icelandair just paid the worst photographer it could find $50,000

This isn't the type of photo that usually wins a photo contest. Unless it's Icelandair's contest to find the world's worst photographer.Photo: Blance Mortemard Back in March, we shared news of one of the more intriguing photography contests we'd come across in some time: Icelandair's hunt for the most terrible photographer it could find.

It was also, apparently, far more successful than the airline expected. Icelandair says it received 127,642 entries from 178 countries, all vying for the title of "World's Worst Photographer."
