[Theme] Blue

January 3rd, 2011
Hello everybody (including the new people, nice to have you here).

Each week we post a theme, you can enter photos from your project that are within the time frame. Last weeks theme was "Holiday Spirit" and we Voted Paul the winner! Well done to him.

Paul has chosen this weeks theme to be "Blue".

To enter your photo in to the Blue theme please tag your entries with
theme-blue exactly like that (no spaces)

Try and be creative and come up with something unique. 5 finalists will be chosen next week and we'll vote on the winner then.

-------------------------
Entry to this theme starts on Monday (3rd January) and will accept entries until Sunday night (23:59 GMT 9nd Jan).

Entries must have been taken and uploaded this week only! Entries outside of the date range will not be accepted in to the final 5.

BiPJ suit this in a fun way
January 3rd, 2011
color themes are such fun, we use in our ATC Swap Group often, because they stimulate a lot of creative thinking :)
January 3rd, 2011
@Scrivna Looks as though alot of entries are dated from back in 2010... apears this was a theme previously ??
January 3rd, 2011
Seems like a many of us don't bother read all instructions;) Each photo must be Taken And uploaded within the time range. Perhaps some just take the chance to show older pictures? @karlacrowney
January 3rd, 2011
Oh I see... didnt think of that. Hmmm that could be true.@juhlin
January 3rd, 2011
This could be interesting, being my first theme... And congrats to Paul too :)
January 3rd, 2011
ross i noticed that there were instantly a lot of theme-blue tags straight away, it seems as though a huge portion of them were from the "blur" theme a couple of months ago. i guess this means they missed out on entry into that due to a typo, bummer for them, i remember almost doing it myself at the time.

nothing you can do, just thought i'd post ... if we want to enter the theme we need to sype carefully etc :))
January 3rd, 2011
@karlacrowney hi karla, see my post above, they were mostly typos ... except for a few recent ones that are out of the date range. sad that they missed out on the blur theme huh.

January 3rd, 2011
Yey! I am excited for this theme! Hopefully I will come across something =]
January 3rd, 2011
I'm excited for my first 365 project and for blue to be my first theme!
January 3rd, 2011
My first theme! I have a cunning plan!

I'm glad I found project 365 this year as it's an excuse to take lots of photos and try and become a little more creative.
January 3rd, 2011
Cool beans this should be fun
January 3rd, 2011
excited!!! I love that there is a theme...that is a good guide for inspiration! thanks!!!

How do we enter the photo in the competition?
January 4th, 2011
awesome, good luck to everyone. to enter add the photo u want, go to edit, and put the tag as "theme-blue" without the speech marks, and it will be there.
January 4th, 2011
Oo! I love it! What a perfect January theme too!
January 4th, 2011
now I can only dream of blue instead of concentrate on work ...
January 4th, 2011
Can you enter more than one photo during the time frame?
January 4th, 2011
I second that question ;)
January 4th, 2011
January 4th, 2011

Do blue mood shots count?
January 4th, 2011
very exciting :) my first week doing the project & blue just so happens to be my favorite color.....
January 5th, 2011
I wasn't very creative with this theme, but considering it is my first & I'm brand new to the contest....I'm kind of excited! Thanks, Ross for creating and sharing this grand adventure! :)
January 5th, 2011
@mimma_blue Yes you can enter a photo every day this week for the theme.
January 5th, 2011
@mememo was i wrong to post my pic here?
January 5th, 2011
the only one above
January 5th, 2011
@mememo
You just need to tag your photo "theme-blue". You know,when you edit the description of it,there`s also "tags" section, you tag it according to the theme you want to qualify it for.
January 6th, 2011
About themes: If you can, where can you see the photos people have entered for a week's theme? I thought it was under Browse by tag but those seem to just be tagged with the word "blue" instead of "theme-blue".....Just wondering.
January 6th, 2011
@remrafer simplest way is to go to the 365 homepage (click logo at top) .. then scroll down - on the right handside you'll see THEME, under that there's two links - [theme] blue, and BROWSE ENTRIES

**my question is - how/who narrows the entries down??? "5 finalists will be chosen next week and we'll vote on the winner then"
January 6th, 2011
I like the idea of capturing blue as an emotion rather than just a color.
Let me know what you think about this?

I just did mine, first try at this contest/theme thing.... I did put the tag on my pic for the theme-blue, but I just searched it and its not showing up? did I do something wrong.

Check out some Dubai blue supercars for Jan 6 & 7.
January 7th, 2011
@lynne3804 - thanks Lynne :) I thought that might be the case, but wasn't sure :) I attempted two, but there are HUNDREDs of wonderful entries :)
January 8th, 2011
Looking forward to joining in :)
January 8th, 2011
I tagged mine with blue and theme-blue!
January 8th, 2011
@ Jenn Glasser - my tagged photo is also not showing up in the pool. Can anyone explain how the photos are organized in the pool? Are they ordered by upload date & time, or by the order in which they were tagged?
January 8th, 2011
@drewbears I think I saw your shot on page 33? Still can't figure out why my tag isn't working, though.
January 8th, 2011
1200+ pictures and counting?? I don't envy Ross!!
January 8th, 2011
@grammardog You need to tag it as
"theme-blue"
not just blue
January 8th, 2011
This is so cool! I like this.
January 8th, 2011
@lynne3804 - I really think I've got it tagged correctly. When I click on the tag on my photo page, it takes me to the pool of all the other entries, but mine doesn't appear to be there.
January 8th, 2011
@Scrivna Would like to tag one of my photo's for your Blue theme but am not sure how . Can you help me out?
January 11th, 2011
