- Stick to the theme!
- Submit your entry before May 14th! (So by midnight, May 13)
- To submit you can post your entry on your blog, email me a pdf or google docs, or link your picture in the comments – just make sure it gets to me! If I see it, I will either comment on your post, reply to your email, or reply to your comment! π
- You are allowed to include a caption on your photo!! – Thank you Laura for mentioning that!
~ Point System ~
Yes! I am having a point system! That is how you will win the contest! Each picture will receive points for each of their pictures, and the person with the most points at the end of the month is the winner! The maximum amount of points you can get is 5.
To get 5 points your photo must be…
- Creative and original!
- On topic π
- Submitted on time π
- Unedited – I know I said that I would allow it, but on further consideration, I decided against it.
- And an overall good photo with great lighting, angling, etc.! Just try your best!
~ Extra Points!! ~
If you want extra bonus points at the end you can…
- Have a common aesthetic for all of your photos – 5 points!
- Include something(s) that each of your photos has (for example, you can put a water bottle and/or a dog in all of your entries) – 3 points per thing!
~ Week One Topic ~
Morning
Your goal for this round is to capture the idea of morning. It can be anything from a cup of coffee to a majestic sunset! The aesthetic of your picture is up to you! β€
Ready, set, go!! Grab your camera, take a photo, and submit! I hope you have fun capturing the beauty of the morning π And if you have any questions, drop them in the comments!
And guys guess what!!! We have a over 100 followers!!! That’s 100 people part of our little family π β€ β€ Thank you so so much for being my supporters – I love all of you guys so so much!!! β€ π
Till next time ~

Hey Lydia! Can the photo be a picture of the sunset? I asked you because sunsets happen in the evening right? And your topic is morning. So Iβm a bit confused! Let me know soon because I have to send you the picture before tonight! β€οΈ
