2022-2 Spring Competition Theme: Open and Silhouette Start date: April 1, 2022 End date: April 30, 2022 Judging starts: May 4, 2022 Judging ends: May 18, 2022 There are three open and one theme categories for this competition. The open categories are Color, Monochrome, Creative and the theme category is Silhouette. You may enter up to THREE (3) images in one category and ONE (1) image in another category, or any combination thereof. Silhouette images may be color, monochrome or creative images. You may enter 4 images as long as they are not all entered into a single category. You may change any image until the contest cutoff date has passed. Silhouette photography shows the dark outlines of subjects in front of contrasting, bright scenes such as sunsets or studio backdrops. Silhouette images are unlike other forms of photography because they showcase dramatic contrast. Please choose “Special” from the category drop-down on the entry submission page for your silhouette entries. Competition rules have been updated as of April 12, 2022. See the Rules and Guidelines page for these updates. Current Entries Looking Out Altered State Invite to Greater Heights MEETAH THE CHEETAH I Can See Your Halo!
