Theme: FLOWERS – Objects of Romance, Religion and Reproduction
Flowers are probably the most photographed subject in the world. With that in mind, your challenge will be to approach this subject with some degree of originality and creativity. Submit your most stunning images of flowers from close-ups and macro portraits to vast, wide angle shots of blooming fields. Consider how your photos of flowers should stand out from the crowd by utilizing an unusual perspective or composition.
Award:
- The top five photographers will have their winning image displayed on an email targeted to over 1,200 professional Photo Editors and Art Directors. These five photos will also be the FEATURED IMAGES on The Chasing Light Juried Photography website for the duration of the current contest.
- Jurors will also select twenty "Runners Up" whose work will be displayed online, along with photographer’s contact email and website URL information, in the Themed Contest Gallery.
- The Top Three Winners (First, Second and Thrid Place) receive a Lifelong Pro Account on Filter Foundry, the fastest growing social network platform for creatives.
Judge: Linda Meyerriecks
