12 Days of Christmas Competition
IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!
We have so much fun with this every year, we thought it would be great to spread a bit of Christmas sparkle within the gallery and the iPhotography community.
So grab your cameras whenever you get a chance and get the family involved, photograph your Christmas encounters and share them with us.
You never know you might end up with an image to put on Granny’s card!

Starting from December 1st 2021, every day we will announce a different theme for our 12 Days challenge – but you can find them all below already! Either enter pictures for all 12 themes or just dip in and out of a few whenever you get a spare moment.
Interpret the word/theme for the day however you wish, there are no strict rules, just have fun and get creative!
Each challenge will have its own hashtag (#). Write the hashtag that matches the theme of your upload as your caption in the gallery – without this, your entry won’t be considered in judging.
RULES
1. The competition will run from 1st December to 12th December 2021.
2. Upload your entries to the iPhotography gallery.
3. When the competition closes on 12th December 2021, iPhotography tutors will choose a winner for each of the categories and an overall Christmas Champion from that shortlist of 12. The winner will be announced before Christmas.
4. Images that are entered after the deadline, without the correct hashtag in the description will not be considered in judging.

UPLOAD TIPS
Don’t be obvious – Don’t re-create the example images exactly. We want to see your own creativity in this competition. Use it as a springboard.
You Can Edit – We aren’t against photo-editing if you want to add a little bit of sparkle to your pictures afterwards.
Copyright – Make sure the entire content of your image doesn’t infringe copyright laws. Any entries and members found to be breaking the rules will be disqualified.
Have Fun – Don’t feel that you have to enter a shot for every theme – just work on your favourite ones!
Remember, to use the relevant #hashtag when uploading.
For example, if it’s an entry for Day 1, then type ‘#WinterLandscapes’ in the description or title field.
