One Word Challenge DEADLINE TOMORROW

Also, our first contest, the One Word Challenge deadline this week! If you missed out on the meetings you can still enter. This contest's word is FRACTURE.

First place gets a $10 gift card for West Photo.

One Word Challenge is a photo club sponsored contest open to all photo club members. A word will be given at the beginning of the contest. The aim is to find a concept or literal way of visually describing the word. For example, I give you the word tension, you could take a picture of a person on a tightrope, or something more conceptual. To enter, bring an 8x10 print of your NEW photo (photo must be created FOR the competition, no old assignments) on the deadline meeting. All images will be critiqued, and voted on by all members based on composition, technical abilities, and concept/word relation.
