This means that it's time for round 2 of the contest to start. Round 2 will follow a format similar to our monthly photo contests, where each user will submit one photo, and they will be voted on collectively by the community. Out of the 128 finalists participating in round 2, 32 will advance to the final stage (round 3) of the contest.
Round 2 Instructions:
This is a test of photographic talent, so give it your all if you want to win a K-3!
In round 1, you were allowed to submit the best photo from your archives, and there was no set theme. For round 2, all submissions must be taken during the contest period and conform to a theme you pick from among the choices below. You can still use any camera. The photo must be your original work.
Set A: red, blue, green, orange, purple, yellow, dark, light, dry, wet, clear, sharp, obscure, vivid, perfect, smooth, angled, curved, hot, cold, warm, powerful, weak, innocent, high-key, muted, natural, tough, mild, fast, slow
Set B: reflections, symmetry, blur, shapes, stars, shadows, repetition, silhouettes, motion, seasons, times, emotions, ghosts, places, objects
Here's what to do:
- Pick one word from set A, and one word from set B. Combine them; this will be your personal theme (i.e. blue reflections, obscure shadows, tough times, etc.)
- Take a photo for round 2 of the contest matching the theme, and process it as you see fit (again, your photo MUST be taken between June 4th and July 5th)
- Post your photo and the theme you picked in a new thread in this forum by July 5th; don't replace your original photo
- Feel free to include a few sentences explaining how you interpreted the theme and/or went about capturing the shot
On July 6th, a voting thread will be posted, and 32 of the 128 participants will be one step closer to winning a K-3. The final round of the contest will follow a single-elimination format.
If you have any questions, please them post in this thread. Good luck!
