49. paint
Contest goal:
We have loads of them on our computers: our icons, which represent some application or program. A lot were designed to mimic real objects as reference. For example, a VLC Media player icon is a traffic cone, a notepad icon is, well, a notepad. The theme for this contest is to take a photograph of the real world objects which remind you of an icon on your computer. Let us know in the description what software or application the icon represents on the computer. Good Luck!

48. Electric City
Contest goal:
Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, but the harnessing of electricity was a main step in making our lives significantly easier. For this contest, anything with a power cord or is battery powered will be on theme. Just using a cord is not enough though, it must be POWERED by electricity. So, for example, just showing speakers (by themselves) would be off theme, even though they use cords. Show us an artistic shot of a TV, a lamp, computer… No humans and animals are allowed in your shot.

47. Nice hand
Contest goal:
Trivial Pursuit, Yahtzee, Pictionary, Jenga, Uno, Life, Monopoly, Cribbage, Gin Rummy, etc. Show your most artistic take on party games, whether it’s the game itself, just some of the pieces or being used by the whole family.

5. surprise!!
Contest goal:
Take a plain cardboard box, which is just open on top (don’t make extra holes in it), and put one or more items in it. You can decorate the box on the inside or not and – or create a scene in the box using any items you want. If you want to make a magical fairyland, you can. If you want to make it commercial presentation for a product, that’s also possible. Whatever you want, goes. You do not have to use the box with the open side standing up, it is also allowed to put it on the side. Just 2 catches: it has to be clear it is in a cardboard box, and you cannot use the original item which came in that box (so do not photograph your new camera which is still in the box).

4. Newton’s Sine
Contest goal:
Take an artistic shot of any type of speakers – computer speakers, radio speakers, tv speakers… This theme is also an exercise in Depth of Field. There can be other things in the photo, but the main and clear subject has to be the speakers and the “other” has to be blurry in the background – the speakers must be in focus. To better understand dof (Depth of Field), check out this tutorial.

3. Bridal Veil
Contest goal:
Any container can be filled with liquid, but sooner or later it won’t hold any more. Create an artistic shot of anything overflowing. It could be a plastic bottle overflowing from squeezing it, a pot of water boiling over or even too much liquid being poured into a glass. No tipping of the object (it’s “overflowing,” not “pouring.”) and you must show it in the action of overflowing.

2. M33 & A135
Contest goal:
Take a photo of one, or more, boats/ships/vessels. It can be as simple as a small dingy, a giant cruise ship, or multiple yachts racing. There can be people and other objects in the shot, but the boat should be the main focus. Good Luck!
