Great News!
The Photo Chute is alive and kickin’!
‘What is the Photo Chute?’ you ask.
The Photo Chute is a community-centered, winter-themed photography contest aimed at giving our talent-rich community members a great chance to show off their skills!
Anyone can enter! No age limits, no professional status required! Grab a camera, any camera – your snazzy SLR, your pocket-sized digital number, your iPhone, a disposable, or even dust off your father’s old film camera and take that puppy for a test drive!
This year’s categories will include the usual suspects: Action, Landscape and Humor. Joining them as this year’s Creative Category: Vintage! (ooh! doesn’t that just get your brain storming?!)
The only entry restrictions are that they are winter-themed and are your own original work. When the photo was taken doesn’t matter! So dig out some of your oldies, scan them into your computer and enter those!
This year’s contest has all sorts of new improvements to it. Take this awesome blog, for example. Bookmark this or subscribe to the RSS feed so you can stay dialed in to all things Photo Chute!
Other improvements:
- Pay your entry fee online You can still send your entry fee via the snail mail, but online purchasing is so easy and convenient that it had to happen!
- The Photo Chute Flickr Group This year you can simply upload your photos while you’re in your pajamas! You must have a Flickr group to participate, but if you don’t already have one and you like taking photos, you’ll be glad you joined!
- Online Voting No more paper cuts! This year we will be collecting votes online for everyone’s convenience!
Entries are currently being accepted! If you don’t already have a Flickr account, don’t hesitate – join today! Then pay your entry fee and you’re in!
Check out the Photo Chute web page for more information. We are still nailing down some very important details (like what you can win and where the party is going to be,) but trust me: this is gonna be good!

See you through the lens,
