Greetings, boys and girls. Our last Salon Challenge dealt with one of the most fundamental and mysterious concepts of the physical world, i.e., time. This time we’ll move over to the social scene. The subject of the 30th Salon Challenge will be “Gender”. During the last 60 years or so, the term gender evolved from a simple grammatical distinction to a very fluid view of an intrinsic yet elusive aspect of our humanity. Images in this challenge should make the idea of gender jump to mind, whether it be as definitive views of masculinity and femininity or juxtapositions and challenges to our conventional views of these distinctions. It’s tricky but you folks are a creative and thoughtful lot and should have fun with this one. I personally have high hopes for a few humorous entries.
This challenge will run three weeks from today, October 24, through Monday, November 14 at midnight your local time.
Da Rules:
1. Either take pictures that match the nominated theme or select some from your portfolio. You must be the photographer that created the images in order to enter it.
2. Only one entry per salon, please. If you want to withdraw an entry and replace it with another, that is OK, but you must make it clear in the post containing your replacement pictures that this is what you've done. You can add or change the title and add to the edit line to let everyone know.
3. The decision of the curator at the end of the challenge is final - don't give him/her a hard time about it: this is just a friendly photochallenge, after all!
4. The person who submitted the chosen picture will assume the responsibility of curator for the next Salon Challenge and as soon as possible post a message in a new thread in the PL Photo Challenges forum, with details of the new theme. Don't forget - that opening message must include a copy of these instructions, which also double as the rules.
5. The curator cannot enter his or her own salon.
