50. Anonymous Creep
Contest goal:
Colors can actually affect us physiologically. That’s why many dentist’s offices are pale green, or fast food restaurants have really bright colors. They can also affect our opinion of what we’e looking at, which is why the things we buy often have different choices of colors. This is a very open contest. The only rule is that the photo must be taken with a color filter. If you don’t have a filter, put a colored water bottle in front of the flash. Use the color to create a mood.

Contest goal:
Most of us have them. Old, new, dirty, clean…. but it seems most garage doors are a bit dull. Take an artistic shot of garage doors. No barn doors allowed – just garage. For this contest, ONLY color photos are allowed, since there have been so many Black and White photos entered and it would be more challenging to get a great picture of plain doors in color.

48. Needs a little TLC
Contest goal:
Humans always seem to want the newest and most modern of everything, whether it’s cars, computers, music, or anything else. This is often true for buildings as well. The problem is we often leave the old ones to decay on their own. For this theme, take a shot of an unoccupied/abandoned building or structure. Black and white/sepia entries are encouraged. Good luck!

It might be anything, as long as the color white is the main color in your shot. Good luck!

Contest goal:
Hats have been around since the earliest days of mankind. Over time, we have become accustomed to them and most of us probably own one. They can be of all different shapes, sizes, colors and materials. Whether it be a baseball cap, Yakima, part of some outrageous costume or even a top hat, show your most artistic take on the many hats we wear. Of course it’s OK for people to be in the shot. Who else would be commonly wearing them? It also must be an intended hat. A plate of spaghetti on someone’s head may look funny but it’s not a hat. Wigs, toupees, brace headgear will not be accepted as hats as well. Good Luck!

The dancing can be ballet, hip hop, tap dancing, or whatever the recital is, but a costume must be shown and the girl must be alone. Have fun.

Forests and woods can be beautiful places. A stroll through the dappled shade of a glen with your sweetheart can be extremely romantic. But not all woods are so inviting. Some are more dark and mysterious. What’s that lurking in the shadows? Show us some creepy shots of places in the woods where hobbits, elves, boggots, etc might live…

Contest goal:
From boots and jackets to saddles and hobbies, leather has been around since man first learned how to tan a hide. Enter your most unique shots of leather items. Please keep in mind that leather is the skin of an animal after it has been skinned and tanned, and NOT while it’s still attached to the animal it was removed from. Shots of cows, for example, will be considered off theme. Good Luck!

2. Never Too Late
Contest goal:
Hats have been around since the earliest days of mankind. Over time, we have become accustomed to them and most of us probably own one. They can be of all different shapes, sizes, colors and materials. Whether it be a baseball cap, Yakima, part of some outrageous costume or even a top hat, show your most artistic take on the many hats we wear. Of course it’s OK for people to be in the shot. Who else would be commonly wearing them? It also must be an intended hat. A plate of spaghetti on someone’s head may look funny but it’s not a hat. Wigs, toupees, brace headgear will not be accepted as hats as well. Good Luck!

1. You wanna play rough?
Contest goal:
Film Noir is a style of movies characterized by low-key lighting, usually in an urban setting, with corrupt or cynical characters. These films were very popular in the 40’s and 50’s. Famous examples might include “The Maltese Falcon,” or “The Big Sleep.” A good example of modern film noir would be “Sin City.” Take a photo that represents the film noir style. Black and white is not a necessity but it is strongly recommended in order to properly get the right feel for this contest. Good luck!
