We shall find out soon. December 2016 Theme Contest "Christmas Rush" Entries (Click thumbnails to view photos in full) Voting Period : 17-21 December 2016
This is our version of the Christmas "exchange gift" tradition. Pick your monito/monita randomly from a lot, then partner with him/her in conceptualizing, scheduling, and executing the shoot. All the photos are then presented during our Christmas party and voted upon on-the-spot to determine the winner. This is now the 4th edition. For the past versions, there was no specific theme but for this one we asked participants to portray their partners in the genre/field where they excel at. "Photographer's Portrait". Thank you to all who voted during our Christmas party. Special thanks to guest judge SUNDAE CRUZ for helping us pick a winner.
