If you haven't received a reply to a note with you contest entry, this means that it was lost in the group transformation process and that I haven't received at. (Same thing for Holidays game: if your picture is not in our Holidays collection [link] please do as described below).
You will need to resubmit your picture.
Also, the submission process will be slightly modified now:
In order to submit a picture for the contest or the game, please select "suggest a favorite", select either "minimalism contest" or "holidays" collection, and select the picture from your gallery that you wish to submit. It will not be automatically accepted: I will need to cast a vote.
Hope it works!

OMG, we're a group now
That was fast!
Now I would need to find some time to rethink the club's structure, update some details, make a nice rectangular avatar etc etc.
In the meantime, visit our profile page to officially become a member! During the transition watchers will be considered as members, of course, and it will not affect the contest.

Now, seriously, it all looks so different, I'm a bit lost. I will play around with options this week, so that hopefully we can get the most of it!

A recent poll determined that Minimalism will be the theme of this contest.
Of course, we will stick to abstract and surreal photography.

How about having a glass of at the ? It's a club dedicated to minimalist photography, so it could be a great source of inspiration for this contest! See how these pictures feature simple and clear composition. That what we are looking for: smoothly composed pictures, abstract/surreal and beautiful. It's not enough to make it abstract. Try to make it mesmerizing! We want to see pictures which one wanna watch forever. Something so delightful in its simplicity that a whole world of feelings can be seen behind it. A picture that speaks for itself, without words, just by shapes and tones. Think about it, don't rush, you have more than a month to focus on minimalism; but don't forget about sending in something too

Also, I will soon make a news article.
