Ok guys, on the spur of the moment I have decided to hold a photography competition – open to anyone who cares to enter. There are only a few rules:
- You have to email me a max of 3 photos to tref at trefor.net
- I chose a shortlist – max 10 photos (say)
- I’ll come up with a polling mechanism/widget that allows blog readers to vote for their favourite
If we can get enough entries byFriday 1pmEntries due by close of play Friday 13th July.
I’ll see what I can come up with re prizes – say 1st, 2nd, 3rd. The photos can be of any subject matter – it’s up to you. You decide how arty etc. Even I can enter as it is going to be a crowd based judging.
By request I’ve added a second category to accommodate people who want to supply edited shots (instagram etc)
If anyone can suggest a suitable polling widget please let me know.
Good luck & happy snapping.
PS don’t forget to tell me what phone you used. I’ve had a few requests to extend the deadline – this is reasonable – it was done on the spur of the moment – I’ve extended it a week to Friday 13th & judging will take place over the following week with the result decided at 1pm on the 20th.
PPS please tweet

Hi Tref, I’ll give it a go 🙂 I assume you don’t mind when I took the photo, but it has to be straight from the camera (no tweaking)?
seems reasonable don’t you think – doesn’t matter when it was taken
what about with Instragram’s magic?
lets keep it unadulterated. if someone wants to enter a processed pic I can create a second category
Will have a bash!
I’d say do a category for edited shots – it’s so easy to tweak them with Instagram and Camera+ and they’re still mobile-based apps.
Ok – I’ve added an edited shot category 🙂 (all a bit on the fly but hey – this is the web…
Will be interesting to see which type of phone dominates proceedings. Perhaps I should enter to represent team Blackberry… maybe RIM *can* succeed at something this year! (although judging by my umpteen photos of cats and not a lot else, I think it’d be a long shot 😉 )
Good idea Anne 🙂
cat photos usually win stuff Anne… dunno what it is about cats. 😉
Here is a photo from one of the windows over-looking the lake in Jataniemi, Sotkamo, Finland – at around midnight a few days ago. This is my entry to the competition.

Pretty good response..:)
So by when can the anxious uploaders(including me) expect the results? 🙂
hoping to do shortlist tomorrow – been a bit snowed under.
took these whilst with our year 9 students at the back of our school, we were trying to show them they didnt need professional equipment to take some great photos. Thy all had digital cameras, this was however taken with my Samsung Galaxy S3 zoomed in all the way and very close to the insects!!!!!
cop this then – on a similar vein
