Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Welcome to the Photography Contest! Here you submit photos you've taken and users vote on which photo they like the best! Submission deadline: November 1st This time, the theme is: Historical/Heritage Sites Share a picture of a historical or heritage site you visited. Voting deadline: November 12 Submissions: Top part of the Parthenon (Little-Star) Spoiler The Terry Fox Memorial in Thunder Bay, Ontario (BrazenChase) Spoiler Southern gate of Seoul fort (sh20000sh) Spoiler Clifton Heritage National Park, former slave plantation on New Providence Island, Bahamas (Lagie) Spoiler Callanish stone circle on the isle of Lewis, Scotland (Fuzzbucket) Spoiler Rules: - One entry per person. - Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra. - No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.). - No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo. - When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness. - You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition. - Winner hosts the next contest.

Love the submissions though! ❤️ Make sure to enter if you can, everyone! I don't know where you live but I'm sure there's some historical sites near, no need to be hundreds of years old. Could be a war memorial or something like that or something about your town history. Share this post Link to post
