Sculptures, Memorials and Statues Challenge 4 starts today!

[Casablanca 🇬🇧]

Greetings, lovely photographers!

Thank you to John Walton aka @lumpiniman for hosting the last round.

I love this new challenge. The objective is to capture an image of a statue, memorial, or sculpture in isolation or as part of an overall scene. Such things are very much a part of life in streets, parks, museums, churches, art galleries, your own home or garden, burial grounds, war memorials......there is a huge variety to be found once you start to look.

This challenge will fall across the 80th anniversary of VE Day, which takes place on 8th May 2025. I recognise VE Day is more significant in European countries, but many other countries around the globe also use the date for reflection and remembrance.

So as a theme, have a look around your area and see how you can creatively photograph statues, memorials or sculptures that have any kind of military or remembrance significance.

Please use the tag: sms4

Entries can be viewed here: https://365project.org/tags/sms4

The challenge will run from Monday 21st April until Monday 19th May 2025.

Looking forward to seeing your entries with thanks.

@kjarn Oh that is good, I hadn't realised. Opportunities there too then. Thanks for the info

I tagged an old picture from the first time I did a 365 project back in 2010. I hope that is ok. If not, I'll remove the tag.

@okvalle I did not specify they had to be taken in the above dates, so leave it in. Thanks for entering. Still a new challenge on 365.

Casablanca -
This challenge ends on Monday - and it is still Monday here in North America. While I suspect there will not be more entries, you should wait a day from where you are to give everyone a chance to get their shots in before you short list.

@farmreporter Ah, sorry. Only the second thing I have ever hosted. I remembered Australia was already moving in Tuesday...... I don't always get all the time zones right. Apologies.

@casablanca
Well - you have done a fabulous job considering it is only the second challenge you have hosted!
Your work is awesome so I am sure you will be doing this again!

[Casablanca 🇬🇧]

@farmreporter You are very kind, thank you. Just sorry I got the date thing wrong. Will know another time!
