Tag Challenge #71

[Smitha]

All the entries in the last tag challenge were very creative and perfect fit to the tags they got. Thank you to everyone who voted for my photo in the last get tagged challenge. I am so honored to have been picked and now I get to host this week's challenge.This is the first time i am hosting this challenge, so please let me know, if i mess up something. Hopefully we will have lots of wonderful entries!

Here's how it works:

Go to the "Browse" section and then select the "By Tag" link. Close your eyes and randomly click on a tag. Do it again (and no peeking)! These two tags will become your photo assignment. You will then use your two randomly chosen tags as an inspiration to create one picture that encompasses both tags. Please CLEARLY state your two tags when you post your entries, as this will let me know what your assignment was. You may submit more than one entry.

For this challenge, if you chose a set of words that you feel it would be impossible to do anything with, rather than skip the challenge all together, you may opt for the host’s tag words of “Night” and “Shadow” (selected randomly as above).

Start of challenge: Sunday, March 31st, 2013, 16:00 EST
End of challenge: Sunday, April 7th, 2013, 23:59 EST
Voting starts: Monday, April 8th, 2013, 00:00 EST
Voting ends: Wednesday, April 10th, 2013 23:59 EST

NOTE - Photos must have been taken within the challenge time frame to be considered for a vote.

The number of finalists will be chosen depending on number of entries the winner will host challenge #71.

Please remember to tag all entries as tag-challenge-71 so that I can find them.

Please share them in this thread (optional) so everyone else can enjoy them too.

Have fun and I can't wait to see your entries! Thank you.
