Monochrome Theme
This week's theme is Monochrome. This should be a good one. So what does the term "monochrome" mean?
involving or producing visual images in a single color or in varying tones of a single color (such as gray).source
Images do not have to be in black and white, but they can be varying tones of a single color. Like a picture full of different tones of blues or any other color.
One thing I really like about monochrome photos is that you can really showcase a lot of emotion by getting rid of so many of the distractions that too much color can have. Monochrome is really good for portrait photography because it allows you to really focus on the subject and the emotions that are being displayed in the photos.
I am excited to see what you all can come up with this week for this theme. Be sure to follow the rules though to make sure that your entry is valid. There were a lot of people that did not state what tier they were going to compete in or include a photo from their post in their submission comment.
How is the Deranged Photography Contest set up?
Every Sunday, I will announce a new theme for the week and you will have until Saturday to get your submission in. There will be two tiers for the contest. A professional tier and an amateur tier. When making your submission, you must state which tier you will be competing in. I usually get a lot of entries, so make sure to follow all the rules or else your submission won't count and will likely be ignored.
I will not allow any entry that is not your own original photography. If you are caught plagiarizing someone else's work, you will be flagged and banned from participating in any future contest. So make sure that the photos you are submitting are ones that you personally take.
All entries must be done through the Liketu front end. One of the goals of the contest is to create more awareness of Liketu, so make sure that you create your post from https://liketu.com/.
You only get one entry per week, so make sure to spend some time on getting a good photo and creating a fun post about your entry. You will need to submit a link to your post in the comment section of the contest announcement post and you will need to include at least one image from your post in the comment you make. You are encouraged to share more than one image in your post. The more effort you put into your post, the more chance you have for curation and possibly winning your tier.
On top of a chance for curation from Liketu, the top three entries in each tier will be awarded as follows:
| Place | Professional | Amateur |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | 8 Hive | 4 Hive |
| 2nd | 5 Hive | 3 Hive |
| 3rd | 3 Hive | 2 Hive |
