  1. Yes
Our February monthly competition is now open for entries.

=== Please Included Metadata Embedded With Images Submitted ===

This Month's Theme

For this month our theme will be: "Black & White". Normally one of our more popular themes :) Please try not to simply convert a colour photo into B&W, the best B&W photos have typically been given some consideration before pressing the shutter button to how they will look without colour. If you need some inspiration then see these examples from Sony's World Photography Awards.
