7. Voting ends at 12am Eastern (5am GMT) on the posted end date.
8. 8. Post your images in the appropriate thread in the form of an image, not a link to click on. To insert an image, use this code (for example):

9. Don't be a dummy and vote for your own photo, try and make it fun.
Be reminded that this is a photo contest and so images which have been heavily manipulated through an image editing software will not be accepted. To put everyone on a level playing field, editing should be restricted to cropping and resizing.
Images which are not relevant to the week's theme will be automatically removed.
If you have a problem with another contestant's entry adhering to the contest guidelines, please PM the forum moderators. Do not try to begin a debate about the issue within the contest submission or poll thread! There will be zero tolerance towards any attempts to devolve a contest thread into a bash-fest or witch hunt.

We will pick the next theme and post it the night a contest ends for the next round so people have a full 7 days to take pictures and submit them. After all the entries have been posted, a poll will be added on the last night, so people can vote. Voting will take place from midnight to midnight over the following 3 days (12am Sunday - 12am Wednesday).
Those who wish to participate in sharing full versions of their entries may do so by providing a link only to the full sized version in the same post as their entry.
Thank you and have fun!

I always found stained-glass art to be inspirational, but mostly just decorative. Then I saw this, and was awestruck. The Tesla Radio company had its hey-day during Communist rule when it became a state-owned company. I mention that because nothing aspired for salience as much as Soviet communism, and yet fell so incredibly short. Of all the relics of that era I've seen, this beautiful work of art is the only one that still manages to conveys a sense of salience wholly untouchable by irony. This is a tough round to choose an image for so I felt it necessary to explain why I chose this one. In honour of Jamshyd (where is he at these days?)

It looks way, way better in 1080 resolution. Does anyone know of a good free image host? It looks like imageshack has taken to tampering with the images so this looks like crap now :(
 
I have to admit, I didnt actually know what salience meant! But easily looked it up and was intrigued by the topic. A few years ago the Dali Lama came to memphis for a big would equality seminar going on. It was a big honor to have him in the city for a few days, and some of the local monks did a sand mandala in his honor right at my school! The whole time they had they were working on it they had this shrine in the Dali Llama's Honor.
