Well this sucks. If I give away my location when I enter, my anonymity is shot. Nobody else is in Utah on this site. But feel free to surprise me. ( 5 years and 3261 days ago )

adeincyprus: there are a lot of entries here which do not fit the theme.......... the contests is about national or state symbols......... we should not be confusing this with tourist tat!............ ie, the leaning tower of pisa is NOT a national emblem, but you can buy dozens of models of it when on holiday there............ the same as the statue of liberty is not a national emblem, but you can buy replicas of it all over the usa...... so many entries here off theme. ( 5 years and 3255 days ago )
Contest Moderator: Please take in consideration that there's a different between a symbol and an emblem! Emblems are official choosen items like trees, animals and so on. Look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_emblem ( 5 years and 3255 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Great, so half these entries might be off theme because they're not emblems but symbols? Ah Hell with it!!! I'm jsut going back what I usually rate photos on:
originality
portrayal
DOF
focus
WOW factor
I'll worry about it being an emblem later... ( 5 years and 3252 days ago )

In the Celtic tradition Hawk empowers a person to seek out their ancestral roots and to examine in depth that which is positive so that it may be integrated into the person's life and that, which is limiting so it can be released. Tradition is only worth honoring when it supports joy and fulfillment in one's life! In this tradition Hawk also supports the solar side as stated above, helping a person to move forward in life and to seek out great quests to embark upon.
In the Egyptian Tradition Hawk was associated with Magic and shape shifting. Isis is said to have shape shifted into a Hawk to save Osiris. Horus also carried Hawk medicine which allowed him to see the "unseeable".
Among Native American traditions, Hawk served the role of Mercury, bringer of messages and portents of change. Hawk reminded the people they needed to be awake and aware.
