If you are curious, here is information about the images that you will see on October 3rd.
CATEGORIES
Boston Strong – Boston is a city rich in history and bursting with pride. The images evoke the spirit and essence of the city.
Nature – Capture the wild, sweeping beauty of nature in a single frame. Subjects may include wildlife, landscapes, aerials, and waterscapes.
Portrait – From Mona Lisa’s smile to Einstein’s defiant tongue, a portrait can embody emotion, earnestness or exuberance. Share one shot of a person, or small group of people, where their face and expression are predominant in the photo.
Motion/Action – Life is in perpetual motion and it can be simple or complex, grandiose or modest, elegant or awkward. Take an image that celebrates motion, in one of its forms.
Fine Art – Art has no rules. So neither does this category. Just share a single image that has been created for aesthetic expression, communication, or contemplation.
Light – Photography is light. So use this category for images that use light in an inspiring way.
JUDGING CRITERIA

34% Creative vision
