I've been thinking of an idea for a while now. Ever since I first saw the film Ginger Snaps, I was in love with their idea of creating fake crime scenes, suicides etc.
NSFW:
And here's the clip from the film in question with the entire series of fake death shots. I wouldn't be expecting anything quite as elaborate as those, but I think it could be a fun idea all the same.
Whoa that would be intense!! *buys a few litres of ketchup*

For Zodiac, I was thinking all 12 in one round - just pick your favourite and post a pic 
More ideas... straight out of Indian mystical thought (perhaps too much out there?):
- That which I am (Tat Tvam Assi)
Others:
- Multicultural
- 7 (in general)
- Clockwork
- Rail
- First leaflets/petals (what do you call these? UGH I forgot!)
- Revival
- History
I have a feeling some of those have been done before...
Also, I think the crime scene idea is brilliant, however I don't think it is very feasible for a photo contest... but that's just me...

We had one for the 100th round, perhaps will do that every 50 rounds.
Thanks a ton for the updates Cletus!
I also had an idea for a theme but I forgot it.

I just wanted to voice something I've noticed about the competition. I rarely participate, so I feel it's kind-of unfair for me to be negative, but I'd like to put it out there nonetheless..
It seriously irks me to scroll through the photo thread and see a sentence (less/more) coupled with each photo asserting its appropriateness for a given theme. I think it totally takes away from the experience of the contest, as well as the integrity of the photos themselves.
Perhaps I'm being nit-picky, or perhaps it's a necessary trend that is developing along with more and more complicated topics....
Just as well, I'd so much rather see the photos sans justification![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")

You make a good point lystra.
But remember, at the end of each week when the entries are collated in to the polling thread it's just the photos without any text, so that's kinda what you're requesting done already
And yes, you should post entries and vote more often! :D

meh, i think some of the entries NEED a bit of text to explain things, because sometimes they can be a bit of a stretch, to put it mildly.

^Elaborate please, kind sir.

Some entries sometimes bear little or no resemblance to the theme in question.
This is not a big deal to me, just an observation.

^sort-of my point....
It's like the little blurbs of explanation seem to allow people to stretch the themes to ridiculous lengths....
Do you know what I mean?

I know what you mean, to an extent. I see a lot of imagination stretching in some rounds.
