"Creative" Challenge #1

November 25th, 2012

Hi everyone! I have decided to start a challenge. This is the "Creative" Challenge. For this you will have to come up with something different according to the theme. When I say creative, I mean so unique and weird and different that people will say "What is that? Oh , now I see! I should have thought of that!" You have to do something theme related but not directly the theme. You can NOT do directly the theme. If you do that takes the purpose away in a flash.

Ex. Let's say that if the theme was birds and I was entering the competition. I could show a sunset with a small silhouette of a bird. Or I could show the shadow of some birds on the sidewalk or some other type of ground with other elements in the photo.(The theme is not birds. This is just an example of a theme.)

Tip: Don't use a lot of elements in the photo. Make the pic creative, but don't distract the person looking at the photo from the theme. If you do distract the viewer, then it defeats the purpose of a theme.

For the first ever "Creative Challenge, the theme will be pets. Make this the most creative thinking you have ever done! You will have from Nov. 25, 2012 to Nov.30, 2012 to post the photos you will like to enter. No late entries will be excepted. The final 5 favorites of mine will be posted either on Dec.1, 2012 or on Dec.2, 2012.
You will have from Dec.1(or 2 depending on the date posted) , 2012 to Dec.12, 2012 to vote for your favorite out of the 5 pics. I will post the winner around Dec.14, 2012.

The winner of this Challenge will get to host the next "Creative" Challenge and will pick the theme.

Good luck to everyone! Hope to see the posts!

@cows great! thanks!

@cows You may want to rethink the tag! When I hit it there are 5 pages of pictures that were all taken before today! A different tag should fix that!

@tonyjsisti- Well, to explain it more, the person who hosts the challenge will pick a theme. The people entering the contest will use the theme in the photo. They wouldn't just take a picture of it. They would have to come up with something more creative. I have an example above the comments if you need one.

@cows Apparently you can't use the Number sign so I deleted just that from the tag and it works fine! Add that tag info to your explanation above so it is easy for people to find!
