I've been trying to come up with an idea for a new contest and here it is;

A Moment

This contest is going to be all about moments in time. I know what you're thinking - technically every photo is a moment in time, but I don't want to see photos of just anything. I want to see moments that are special or exciting or emotional or thrilling or significant - photos that pinpoint a particular moment - no matter how big or small they are. This could range from a child hugging his dog to a race car crashing to two friends having a coffee to a kiss shared between lovers to an airplane landing to someone kicking a football.

So, send me some moments

--

Guidelines-

- The photo can be new or old, I don't mind either way
- You can only enter one photo
- I'd love you to put thought into your entry - don't just send me the first thing you can find
- Try to enter your best work
- The contest starts now and finishes at the end of the year - 31st of December, 12am EST I know, it's a long time to run a contest for, but I want this to be big. And I want to collect as many moments as I possibly can. I also want to allow time for prizes to accumulate
- You're free to change your entry once after you've entered
- I'd prefer that your entry is at least 800px on its longest side and contains its EXIF data
- Be creative!

Entering-

- Just send me a note titled "A Moment Contest" with the thumbnail of your entry

I think that's about it I can't wait to see what people come up with

Also, I would hugely appreciate it if people advertised this in their journals or told their friends about it. Prize donations in any form would be absolutely wonderful, too

That's it from me - I hope to start receiving entries soon!
