Inspired by Gaz's global posts to promote the new YY music competitions, I thought it was time we reached out to those who rarely stray out of 'Bleatings' and remind everyone about the long-running YY photography competitions over in the little corner of the forum where all the creative types like to hang out..
These have been running for years now, but a little quiet of late so we're making a bit of an effort to spark a little more interest in a fun little informal competition every month to inspire you to get out and get creative with your cameras.
It's not all about having fancy gear etc. Many of the winners in the past have been shot on phones or compact cameras. All that really matters is you have a creative eye, and the willingness to try and shoot something vaguely in line with the monthly topic.
It's very simple, the 'winner' of the month's comp gets to choose the next topic, and a shortlist of their favourites that go into a poll.
The 'rules' such as they are, are very simple:
- Basically, as long as you took it yourself you can enter the pic.
- You can post as many photos as you like, but either need to choose your favourite, or by default your last pic posted by the deadline (usually 25th of the month) is your entry.
