49. 4 elements
Wind, water, fire, earth. The four basic elements. The goal in this contest is to take a shot where any two of those elements are displayed together. For example, mud for water and earth, volcanoes for earth and fire, sandstorms for wind and earth, or simply a photo where 2 of the elements appear… Be as realistic and original as possible. Good luck!
48. The Photographer
Being a baby is the first stage in everyone’s life. In this contest, the goal is to take the shot of a baby doing common baby activities such as drinking milk, eating, playing with toys. Babies of 12 months maximum are allowed in this contest. Make sure the baby is actually performing a clearly visible activity…….sleeping is not an activity!
47. Stony Mere Church
Photography is the art of capturing light. Infrared photography on the other hand, is the art of capturing invisible light. Your goal in this contest is to take an infrared picture of anything and show it to us. Post-editing is allowed, but it’s important that you capture your photo with an IR-Filter.
For the ones who are not familiar with the concept, you can read about it HERE. Good luck!
46. Skyline
Light is fascinating, especially when darkness also comes into play, combining shadows and sparks, hiding and also emphasizing things. For this contest we want you to observe and develop these attributes of light, by taking pictures in the street, at night. The lights coming from the cars are also useful in creating beautiful photographical art. Capture a photo at night that creates an creative piece of light art.
45. Touch
Your goal for this contest is to show us the way people communicate nowadays. Traditional mail, e-mails, telephone, fax, etc. Take a photo of any means of communication. You can have a person using a device in your photo, but this is not mandatory. Simply photographing a communication tool will also be valid as an entry.
44. Fiber Optics
There are many types and colors of fibers. Take a shot of something fiberous. Other things can be in the photo as long as the fibers are the main subject. “Fiber” can be interpreted as the material used for clothing and fiber used in cables.
43. malay wedding
This is a contest for the everyone: the ones who live in Asia, will have a lot to show. The ones who have never been there, will have a lot to learn.
The goal of the contest is to take a picture of an Asian element, most likely a cultural thing. It can also be about people, customs and wardrobe. I believe that most of us get the change to take a shot at least of one Chinese restaurant, so let’s show our ‘materials’.

40. Reflections Of Graffiti
In this contest, your goal is to get shots of graffiti. You must capture it and present it the best way you can. It must be true graffiti and obvious that it’s painted on something that they did illegally, as most of the best graffiti is not legal. No murals or any other type of legal street art. You must show what the graffiti is on, so it’s clearly visibile that the graffiti in your photo was painted on illegally.

You must have only one subject in your photo that gradually becomes visible, out of the darkness. This means a part of your subject has to be in the dark still. This is a good practice for playing with light and shadows. Good luck!

Nothing compares to a mother’s love for her child. In this contest your goal is to upload images of mother and baby, but ATTENTION, only for animals. It can be whatever animal you please, from ducks to lions, but no humans in the picture, no humans at all. Black and white photos have a good impact with this theme.
23. Magic woods.
Get pictures of tracks. What kind of tracks you ask? Any kind of tracks. Train tracks, moose tracks, tire tracks, boot tracks, etc. If they are considered tracks by any definition, they qualify. No people or animals allowed in the image.
22. Morning Flare
Lens flare is the light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms, such as internal reflection and scattering from material inhomogeneities in the lens. These mechanisms differ from the intended image formation mechanism that depends on refraction of the image rays.
For good optical systems and most images, flare is a secondary effect that is widely distributed across the image and thus not visible. However, in this contest your goal is to make sure that the flare is visible, in the most artistic way possible.

10. Unity…
We all follow ideologies of one type or another – demonstrate one in a photo.
For example, for “democracy” you might show people voting. The shot should demonstrate the ideology itself, and not a particular country or culture associated with it, so for example, an American flag would not be good for “democracy” as there are many democracies which aren’t American.
Keep in mind there are many ideologies which aren’t political as well. Be sure to mention the ideology in the description or title so voters can judge how closely you came.
