Google+ April Photography Competition

Google+

Thanks to everyone who entered the March competition with the theme All Creatures Great & Small! Again, there were some incredible entries and we're really looking forward to announcing the winners in the next few weeks. Keep an eye on the blog for an update!

Moving on to April's competition...

The Theme

The April Google+ competition theme is Light and Shade! You can interpret this and use light and shade however you wish - from golden light and shadows cast from a setting sun, an abstract pattern or a beautiful portrait. Use your imagination to show us your best 3 images that sum up what this theme means to you.

How to Enter

If you’re new to Google+, it’s quick and easy to sign up, set up a profile and start sharing your photos.

Once you’re up and running over on Google+ add the Wex Photographic page to your circles.

Uploading a photo to Google+ is easy!

 

Post up to 3 of your most relevant light & shade photos by midnight on Tuesday 30th April 2013 and be sure to:

  • include a short caption or description
  • tag your post with both our page +Wex Photographic and the comp tag #winwithwex (this step is important, it’s how we’ll track and see all the entries!)

Here’s how your entry might look once you’re ready to upload & share.

 

If you’re entering images that are already in your Google+ photo albums, just re-share your entries to your timeline and be sure to follow the instructions above when you post them to make sure they’re tagged correctly. Here's an example of how to do it and what it should look like...
