RULES
1. Any photograph or variation of a photograph which has been previously submitted for one of the contest rounds cannot be used in subsequent rounds of the contest.

2. Photographs must be your original work and that has never been copyrighted or, if copyrighted, that you are the sole copyright owner of.
2a. No submitting pictures for other people, for friends, etc. Your OWN work, very simple.

3. Only one photograph may be entered per contest.

4. All photographs must be free of watermarks, signatures and borders

5. Photographs must be no wider than 700 and no higher than 700.

6. Deadline for entries is 12am Eastern (5am GMT) on the posted deadline date.

7. Voting ends at 12am Eastern (5am GMT) on the posted end date.

8. Post your images in the appropriate thread in the form of an image, not a link to click on.

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 2 days (12am Sunday - 12am Tuesday).

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!
 
Please submit your photos in this thread and a mod will re-post them when voting starts in a separate voting thread.

Submissions: December 02 - December 08
Voting: December 09 - December 10

Next theme: Photographer's Choice [December 09 - December 15]
Next theme: Flowers [December 16 - December 22]
followed by Alcohol [December 23 - December 29]
Next theme: Holidays (Christmas, Hanukkah, etc) [December 30 - January 05]
followed by Winter [January 06 - January 12]

sucks i live in a city where they try to have all graffiti removed within 48 hours.. they even have a 24 hour hotline you can call and increased penalties for those who get caught as ell. all you get around here are shitty, quickly done tags.. nothing which takes any amount of time at all :(
 
Thanks :)

I'm lucky that there's quite a lot of Banksy's work in London. But you have to be fast as it gets buffed way too often. It always really bothers me that people would want to remove this type of thing. But apparently, the local council in which this piece is in have said they want all his work to stay put in future :)
 
I feel like for this one the photographer is required to add something to the image. No offense to catmeow and sheepish, unless you tagged that up, it's not your art:\ . Tribalgirl, I really love that image,It almost is as if the permanent painter on the wall is just contently watching the pedestrians go about their busy lives, great use of movement and composition(although, i would prefer the lady in the lower left cropped out, but it's not that distracting). Overall, very well done.

Click to expand...

good point. i didn't think of that. but after all, it is a photography contest and not a graffiti contest.
maybe we could put the locations of the graffiti that was photographed as credit to the artists/art?

anyway, i'd like to know how many people who have entered into this particular round, did the graffiti that they photographed....
 
Somebody needs to go to the phun phactory and take some pix there. I guarantee youd get a badass shot. Anyone in NY shoudl hit that shit up for this one. Sorry I aint got a entry or a better critique or anthing but as soon as i seen the title i had to click on this thread! EDIT: Im sorry, i didnt realize this wasnt the voting thread, my dumbass bad. Yo jamieeee!

Aight, Im done comin up in here where I aint needed.
 
I would've liked to have submitted a live bombing pic, but since we cant add a censor to protect the innocent... :(

god it was tough to choose a picture... I wonder how many graff writers we have on BL?
 
Photography is an art. It's just my personal feelings that somebodies art shouldn't rely on another's.
