In celebration of my new Macro lens, I have decided to hold a Macro Photography Contest.

This contest will be open from Today *April 16* until June 1st!

There will be two categories, True Macro, and Close-Up.

There will be one winner from each category, one people's choice winner, and one over all winner. Honorable mentions will also be featured.

I am allowing both Macro and Close-Up so be sure your entries state which category. If you don't, I will put it where ever I think it fits. Entries for True Macro MUST FIT THE CRITERIA!! 1:1 or larger... Please visit the lovely 's macro FAQ Journal >>> [link] if you need to brush up on the specifics of macro photography.

Prizes? Thats where I need YOUR help!!
I will be providing some subs and features, but if this is going to turn into as big a competition as I would like, I need your help!! If you would like to donate prizes, please send me a note. All contributors will be featured in a permanent "Supporters" Journal Section. You can donate anything you want, from a feature to a subscription or gift art... Lots of prizes means more participation!! I really don't want this Contest to flop!!

Prizes So far, include:
Prints, Features, and Subscriptions!!
