Foto Flip Friday: Celebrations (Submit Week 2)

 
Welcome to the 2nd week (with more samples to inspire you!) of July’s Foto Flip Friday theme: Celebrations

A fun little photo competition where you can submit a photo, and I’ll select up to 3 each month to be whittled into a flipping photo and displayed here the last week of the month, like so:

(mouseover the image and watch the *magic!)

 
* Well o.k. for those viewing in IE, not so much a magical “flip” as a fading change. If you want to see the flip/flop, try viewing in Chrome or Firefox.
 
Imagine that – the chance for YOUR photo, happily flipping to ‘n fro here – with YOUR personal message on the back!

PLUS… for those who like – a link back to your website/blog (a reciprocal link back here to TravelnLass not required, but nonetheless appreciated) 😉

All you need do to participate in the new TravelnLass monthly Foto Flip Friday competition is:

• Choose a pic (that YOU have taken!) that fits this month’s theme – one that’s in “landscape” orientation (to fit the “postcard” profile). Make sure it’s at least 700 pixels wide and in .jpg format. The pic needn’t be fabulous nor professional quality (mine surely aren’t!), but do choose one that showcases your best work (a bit of postprocessing is fine).
• Upload your photo to the Web (in a blog post, on Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, Instagram, Picasa, etc. – many options for photo hosting – just make sure wherever you put it, the privacy is set to “public”), and then…
• In the comments below, post a link to your photo, plus…
• A short (no more than 10 – 15 words) “postcard” message of the story behind the photo/why it fits the theme, and whatever name you want as a signature. This I will put on the flip side of the winning postcard(s).
• Also include a short (1-3 short words) title (where the photo was taken or some such) that you want on the postcard front, plus a link to your website if you like.
• The winning postcard(s) will remain displayed for the last week each month, and the following Friday I will launch a new theme. All the winning entries will be archived so you can view them any time.

This month’s theme is…

CELEBRATIONS

e.g. any pic that you’ve taken that depicts celebration festivities (such as the sample of the wondrous Laos Elephant Festival, above). But it might also be a photo of fireworks, a birthday party, New Year’s Eve, or any holiday/festival you’ve enjoyed in your travels or hometown. Macro shots of christmas lights or wedding cakes, etc. will work – pretty much anything that smacks of “Celebrate!”

Not sure what photo you have that will fit the theme?
Here’s another example of what “Celebrations” might mean to you…

You can also view last week’s samples HERE.

Submissions for this month’s theme will remain open another week. So submit your photo (one per person/website) for the July theme via the comments below, anytime during the next week (til Friday, July 18th)

Note, photos submitted after the July 18th deadline, will NOT be considered.

Submissions will close next Friday night at midnight EST, so don’t delay. After submissions close, I’ll ponder all the entries and select up to 3 photos I fancy the most and whittle them into digital flipping postcards.

On Friday, the 25th of July, I’ll post the winner(s) here on TravelnLass where they will sweetly flip to and fro for all the World to see.

Added bonus: The winners will be eligible to display a Foto Flip Friday Winner’s Badge on their site (linked back to their winning Flip Postcard here at TL), and… ANYBODY that submits a photo (even if it’s not in the top 3) will get a link to their site beneath the winning postcards.

Now get crackin’ – submit your photo… TODAY!
