Claim 4:
5. A system for processing an image, the system comprising:
a client application component operable to obtain GPS data from a computing device that provides the spatial coordinates where an image was captured and translates the spatial coordinates associated with the image into a geo-code which identifies a geographic location associated with the spatial coordinates; and
a pre-processing component operable to:
access the geo-code generated by the client application component;
determine whether the geo-code indicates that the submitted image was taken at a location that violates a geographic restriction defined in a rule, wherein a user is required to submit the image from a geographic location within an area defined in the rule and within a defined time window; and

if a determination is made that the image was taken at either a location that violates the geographic restriction defined in the rule or outside the defined time window, routing the image submission to an annotator, prompting the annotator to determine whether content in the image is indicative of a rule violation and eliminating the image from being considered a valid entry in the contest.
