Week 2 only the top 16 members of week 1 will be able to participate, week 3 the top 8 members of week 2 and in week 4 the top 4 members of week 3. The winner of round 4 will be crowned king or queen of Pxleyes!
The final rounds winner will be awarded with bluetooth headphones!
You can choose between <a target='_blank' href='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41SN1wXsXSL._SX385_.jpg'>these</a> (available in white or black) or <a target='_blank' href='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41U-Dydus0L._SY300_.jpg'>these.</a>

Week 2, 3 and 4 will be posted on Thursdays but will be opened for entries on Sundays after the previous round is closed, when the next participants are known. If you participate, be aware you might have to re-enter next rounds too!

Rounds 2, 3 and 4 will have 2 reserve players each. These will be the 2 runners up of the previous round, in the list with names who are allowed to enter their names will be followed by "(reserve 1 or 2)".
Reserves are allowed to enter their entry whenever they want BUT be aware:
if all qualified members for that round enter: ALL the entries by the reserves will by removed when the contest goes into voting. If one or two qualified members fail to enter one or two reserves are allowed to stay in the contest when the contest turns into voting.
Those removed entries will be allowed in the Mixed Media (or other fitting) contests later on.

The theme for this contest is: Opposites
Create two photos and put them together in a diptych (one beside the other). The challenge is to illustrate opposites. For example, one photo can be of a city scene and the other a rural setting. There are lots of known opposites....friend vs. foe, good vs. evil, etc. Obviously, for this challenge you will need to use an editing software to create your diptych. Let's see how creative you can be! 

<strong>Members allowed to enter this round are (in order of finishing in round 1): Besea, Lorena_99, Friiskiwi, Roon, Solkee, TwilightMuse, Artifacts, Mario, Wayne Cheah, SahdeeQ, K5683, Kyricom, Jerostone, Lincemiope, Rturnbow, Layzee

Reserves are: Poetress59, Patty</strong>]]></description></item><item><guid>http://www.pxleyes.com/photography-contest/21073/sweets.html</guid><title><![CDATA[New photography contest: sweets]]></title><link>http://www.pxleyes.com/photography-contest/21073/sweets.html</link> <pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 12:20:40 CDT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Take a tempting photograph of sweets.]]></description></item><item><guid>http://www.pxleyes.com/photography-contest/21067/windowsill-light.html</guid><title><![CDATA[New photography contest: windowsill light]]></title><link>http://www.pxleyes.com/photography-contest/21067/windowsill-light.html</link> <pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 12:20:40 CDT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Take a photograph of a windowsill from the inside looking out.
