This Spring, I'd love you to enter just one photograph that you feel encapsulates the theme Beginnings.

This contest should leave you limited only by your imagination!

Look closely at the world around you and opportunities to make great photographs for this contest will soon present themselves...

Essential Steps...

• Read through this page and The Rules;
• You may find it useful to prepare your photograph to the correct specifications using the FREE Contest Photoshop Action I've made for you (my latest eBook explains all if you're not sure!);
• Use the Entry Form to enter ONE image that fits the theme;
• In the form's Description field, tell us why your chosen image encapsulates the theme, Beginnings;
• Finally, subscribe to DigitalBasics (my free monthly newsletter) so that you can be the first to learn of the winners in May...

Judging...

As soon as possible after the closing date, I will release a shortlist of 20 images right here on this site.

At this point, The People's Vote will take place and visitors can vote for their favourite shortlisted images.

The Overall Winner will be decided by 6th May by my first ever guest judge, Giles Huxley-Parlour director of London's Chris Beetles Fine Photographs gallery and nurturing his brand new project
Photo Democracy.

Entering this free photography contest is a great way to have your work brought to the attention of Giles, whose decision will be announced in my free monthly newsletter, DigitalBasics, published in May 2012.

In Issue No.8's Thought for the Month back in September 2011, I shared my thoughts on spending a little bit of extra effort on those finishing touches.

Make sure you have a read to increase your chances of success!

And, of course, make sure you subscribe to be among the first to learn of the winning entry:

The Prizes...

The Overall Winner will receive a new X-Rite ColorMunki Display screen calibrator worth £139!

Your computer screen is your only window to view your digital photographs.

As X-Rite describe on their site:

"It’s time to stop guessing and start knowing that the color on your monitor or projector is accurate."

An X-Rite ColorChecker Passport worth £82 will be awarded to the winner of The People's Vote!

Enabling straight forward camera profiling, many top-flight professionals find the ColorChecker Passport to be an invaluable addition to their kit.

"The ColorChecker Passport allows you to quickly and easily capture accurate color, instantly enhance portraits and landscapes, and maintain color control and consistency from capture to edit."

My huge thanks to X-Rite for their generous sponsorship of my Spring contest.
