The “Street Photography” contest is now open for submissions!  This contest is a bit shorter than the HDR Contest, which is still open by the way. Each submission must follow the genre-based theme of “Street Photography” in your submissions. You will be able to submit up to 3 photos for this contest.

1st Place prize is the Blackbird Fly 35mm toy camera. Other prizes are available for Judges Selection and Popular Vote ( 1st , 2nd, and 3rd Place).

We ran a quick Poll to help choose the theme for this contest. Be sure to check back when we post the next poll so you can get your vote in.
