  • December 2023 Monthly Photographic Challenge: Surprising



    To enter, simply post your picture in this thread between now and the 31st of December. After this there will be a two-week voting period during which all members (not just those who have entered the competition) will be encouraged to vote for their favourites by using the "Poll" system. 1st, 2nd & 3rd places will be allocated and these will ultimately count towards the title of E-System User Photographer of the Year. However, do bear in mind that each monthly round is a separate competition in its own right and you can enter as many or as few rounds as you wish.

    Voting begins on January 1st, 2024. 3 votes each, using the "Poll" system.

    We'll try to keep the rules simple, but we must have a few:-

    1) Enter one picture only. You are able to change or delete your entry during the month. There is no time limit on the submitted photo. The Title is a description, and your interpretation is your decision.

    2) All entries must have been taken on an Olympus E-System body (Four Thirds or Micro Four Thirds), a non-Olympus body but using an Olympus Zuiko E-System lens or an Olympus digital compact such as the XZ-1 or the Tough Cameras.

    3) Three votes per member, please. You do not need to have entered the competition to vote.

    4) Don't vote for your own entry, please.

    5) Once you have voted, that's it. You can't change your mind!

    6) Because we are using the "Poll" system, you can "Like" away to your heart's content.

    Don't forget, the subject is open to your interpretation.

    I hope that I have covered everything but please do let me know if I have missed anything.

                        Last day for entries. You must have had a surprise on Christmas morning, so see if you can remember where the camera is, and take a shot. Gonna be windy today, which may provide a surprise or two...............
