Is there a photo-sharing service that lets multiple people upload to one album without creating accounts?

I'm looking for a preferably free photo-sharing service where I can create a shared album and let several people upload images to it without registering for the site. Ideally, the service would provide some kind of upload code or address that anyone in the group can use to add multiple photos to the same album. Does anything like this exist?

FOTKI allow email upload, which meets your requirement.
An album is assigmed an email_code and emails can thene be sent by anyone to
[email protected] and will end up in the correct album. Photos are usually available in under a minute.
You obviously want to be careful who knows a given user_name, email_code combination as it can be badly abused. The page owner can change the code or disable access as required.
Any other sites which allow email access would presumably also meet your requirement.

Yes. One workable option mentioned is Fotki, which supports album uploads by email. A shared album can be assigned an email code, and anyone who knows the correct address format can send photos to that album without creating their own account. The images are then added to the album automatically.
This meets your main requirement: multiple people can contribute to one album without registering individually.
The main caution is access control. If too many people get the email address/code, it could be abused with unwanted uploads. The album owner should be able to change the code or disable that access if needed.
More generally, any photo service that supports uploads by email could satisfy this same use case.
