Happy New Year, Washingtonian.com shutterbugs! To kick off 2010, we’re collecting photos of life’s simple pleasures. Maybe it’s that first cup of coffee in the morning or a pet sleeping on the couch—we want photos of whatever puts a smile on your face.
For newcomers to our monthly contest, here’s how it works: Send submissions by noon on Tuesday, January 19, and our judges will pick the best shots to advance to the reader-voting round. Then we’ll open it up to you to select a favorite. The winner will be published in the March issue of The Washingtonian.
Photos—one per e-mail—should be sent to photocontest@washingtonian.com. Be sure to include the photographer’s name, phone number, e-mail address, and place of residence, along with a sentence or two describing the photo and explaining why it fits the theme. Photos should be 300 dpi and at least four by six inches. And remember, both the photographer and the photo’s subject need to be from the Washington area, which includes the Maryland and Virginia suburbs.
Good luck!
