50. Anonymous Creep
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.
49. the farm
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
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!
47. Two For One
The world is full of beautiful flowers. Some are red, yellow, white or lots of colors beyond our imagination.
Your goal is to take a closeup of any flower you like. It doesn’t matter what kind of flower, but it should be a real flower. Show us your favorite flower. Best of luck.
46. Reclaiming
Humans have been destroying various parts of nature for things such as building development for a long time now.
Capture an image showing how nature is fighting back! For example, your image could show something like a bramble wrapped tightly around someone’s leg. Be creative and Good Luck!

44. ’29 Kodak
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!
43. SunShine
It seems like everywhere you turn nowadays someone has a camera.
This challenge is to take a shot of someone else taking a shot, whether it’s a pro with a DSLR or a random person with a camera phone.

Take a photo of any kind of bike – a kid’s bike,
or unicycle – as long as it would be powered by muscle.
40. Wellcome
Some of us live in the city, and some in the country. Some of us live in houses while others live in apartments – but we all live somewhere.

38. Gotta Light??
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.”

27. Heavenly Dreams
We’re surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors! Anywhere we look, we’re inundated by them. Some are natural, and some are specifically designed, but they are there. One thing which can make color so obvious, is the absence of color whiteness.

23. What Lurks
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?

20. Elegance
Both men and women have enhanced their allure throughout the ages, with make-up. Sometimes we use it to make ourselves more attractive, or actors may use it to appear grotesque. Clowns use it to look funny, while morticians use it to make some look natural.
For this contest, enter your most exotic and eye catching makeup shots. Whether the models are male female, adults or children, show us the make-up they display. Runway models, drag queens, clowns or just face painting, enter your best makeup shots. The only contest guideline is you must have someone in your shot who is obviously wearing makeup. Good luck!

17. Cats Cradle
Blisters, boils, bee stings, cuts, bruises, sunburns, warts or burns. Enter your most disgusting and really bizarre looking skin afflictions. Just for fun, let’s just make people guess what type of affliction it is. All contests rules still apply. Humans only! Good Luck!
16. Nemo
Three quarters of the Earth is covered with water. We’ve explored more of space than we have the bottom of our own oceans.

14. Carmen SanDiego?????
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!

9. Life Is A Caberet
It’s the time of year again where there are recitals everywhere. Aspiring sisters, daughters and friends show their grace and costumes for appreciative audiences of family and friends.
Take your best shot of a lovely girl dancing, ALONE. No one else should be in the frame. Be sure the photo shows her costume. No costume in the picture means the picture is off theme. 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.
