We're Making Progress! (A fotoFRIDAY Contest)

~fotoFRIDAY:iconfotoFRIDAY: reports, August 4, 2007
Happy Anniversary! :party:

On September 7, 2007, *fotoFRIDAY will be celebrating its fifty-second week on dA! That will be one year's worth of photo prompts for your viewing and writing pleasure! As you can tell, we're a little excited. *fotoFRIDAY is one of the longest-running photolit projects on this site, and in the past year we have grown from a small-time whim in @youthculture's journal to a community staple. To honor this special occasion, we're holding a contest based around a single theme: progress.

At first glance, progress has nothing but positive connotations: moving forward, new developments, advancing, achieving goals—but, as with all things, progress can have a darker side as well. We invite all you writers and photographers out there to put on your thinking caps, tap into your creativity, and really explore what "progress" can mean.

Of course, there are a few rules—.


Photographers

We figured it was about time *fotoFRIDAY started giving back to the photographers who'd given us so much. After all, we wouldn't have a fotoFRIDAY if it wasn't for our photos! With that in mind, we invite you to examine the different sides of "progress" in one of four unique ways:

:bulletblue: Macro shots
:bulletblue: Animals, Plants, and Nature shots
:bulletblue: People & Portraits
:bulletblue: Abstract, Surreal, and Conceptual shots

Participants may only enter once in a category, but two entries, total, are permitted. That means you can enter a macro shot and a portrait, but not two portraits—and you can't enter every category. Also keep in mind that one person cannot win in more than one category.


Poetry and Prose Writers

We wouldn't be *fotoFRIDAY without a photo, now would we? Using one of the three photographs below for inspiration, explore the theme of "progress" (or whatever other ideas come to mind) in one of four different ways:

1. Flying out Sao Tome

(All proceeds from the sale of this print benefit Art in All of Us, so pick your print up today!)


2. Lifes like a Tree


by `x-horizon


3. Darkness


by *muratsuyur


:bulletblue: a haiku/senryu
(see A Word About Haiku for more information)

:bulletblue: a drabble
(exactly 100 words)

:bulletblue: an "open" poem
(no more than 40 lines)

:bulletblue: a monologue or piece of microfiction
(no more than 750 words)

Participants may only enter once in a category, but two entries, total, are permitted. That means you can write a haiku and a drabble, but not two drabbles—and you can't enter every category. Also keep in mind that one person cannot win in more than one category.


Submissions

Please submit all entries ("Submit Deviations") to the following dA Category:

:pointr: Contests & Projects ---> Contests ---> 2007 ---> fotoFRIDAY Anniversary Contest

No entries submitted outside the official contest category will be accepted or considered.

:pointr: Make sure you mark in the deviation description which category you are submitting to (Macro; People & Portraits; Animals, Plants & Nature; Abstract, Surreal & Conceptual; Haiku/Senryu; Drabble; Open; Monologue/Micro-fiction) just to eliminate any possible confusion.


Deadline

:pointr: All entries are due by 31 August 2007. There are no exceptions.


Prizes

There will be a total of eight category winners (4 photographers and 4 writers). Each category winner will receive:

:bulletred: 3-mo subscription (can be donated) from $Moonbeam13
:bulletred: Wishlist print (one print only; not to exceed $15) from $chix0r
:bulletred: dA Lanyard (Key holder, etc.) from $Moonbeam13

There will be two overall winners (1 for photography and 1 for literature). The overall winners will receive:

:bulletred: 1-year subscription (can be donated) from $chix0r
:bulletred: Wishlist print (one print only; not to exceed $30) from $chix0r
:bulletred: devWEAR T-shirt from $Moonbeam13
:bulletred: $20.00 (USD) Electronic Gift Certificate to Amazon.com*
*(valid email address required, but nothing else!)

Congratulations on a long-running success!!
I'll wrangle a monologue together in the next couple of days for this one. Already have some semblance of what I will write, and can only hope you like it as much as I do!

Congratulations again.

I'm so taking part in the Haiku and drabble.

Question, can a person join both photography and literature, and if they can, are they still allowed only 2 submissions?

A person can choose to do both, but they are still limited to two submissions total for the contest.

took one look at the photos, got very excited and am resisting the urge to typing my entry at this very second and sending it off. i need to do something spectacular for such a contest in name of something as brilliant as a year's worth of fotofriday!

congrats guys on the success! i look forward to it every friday!
