<p>It&#8217;s a pair of awesome Canon 8&#215;32 WP binoculars &#8211; they&#8217;re totally waterproof (not just water-resistant), so dropping them into a rock pool won&#8217;t damage them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After taking on board feedback from community members, we have revamped PCN to not only smarten the site and improve the whole look and feel, but we&#8217;ve also improved the navigation to make it more prominent, and a lot easier to use.</p>
<p>We have included more tools to help you drill down through all the contests listed, so that you can now find the photo contests that are of interest to you much quicker and simpler.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve also removed some tools that proved less popular and simply made the site confusing for members, so we hope the new PCN enhances your experience and helps you to find the photo contests you are looking for. </p>
<p>Happy Snapping everyone.</p>
