The Monthly Theme Contest for February 2015 – Reflections in Puddles, glass, water
Introduction
Dear StreetHunters.net Readers!
It is time for the next Monthly Theme Contest! This month for February we ask for – Reflections in Puddles, glass, water!
The Monthly Theme Contest is a fun activity that anyone can participate in! Every month we choose a Theme. What we ask is for you our StreetHunters.net Readers to participate by each sending to us a Street Photograph at streethunters.net@gmail.com based on that Monthly Theme. So for example if the theme is Rain, then we would like you to each send a photo with a Rain moment. Your photo can be taken any time in history, we don’t mind, as long as it has been taken by you and nobody else. Once you send us your picture, we will decide which are the 5 or 6 or 10 best ones and we will post them on our website.
What does the winner get?
Once that has been done, the next step is to ask you all to vote for the best photograph out of the ones submitted. The best photograph will earn one spot in the annual StreetHunters.net 2016 calendar which we hope to print at the end of the year! At the end of the year we will ask you to vote for the BEST of all the 12 photos. The best photo will win a FREE copy of the calendar! That is all we can offer. In addition to being in the Calendar, the best photo will also be used as the Street Hunters Cover photo in all our Social Media channels!
What is this month’s Theme?
This month we would like to ask you to participate with Street Photos of “Reflections in Puddles, glass, water”. Anything goes as long as it is Candid, not posed and photographed in the Street. We will not accept photos that look posed. You must make a candid photo and it must be at the moment a person is being reflected in a puddle, glass or water.
