For each round a new theme is chosen, independent travel bloggers are asked to submit photos, and a winner is chosen to host (and judge!) the following round.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>This Week\u2019s Travel Photo Roulette Theme: <span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><i>Winter<\/i><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/db391-dscf5018.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/db391-dscf5018.jpg?resize=640%2C424&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">How do you see this season? <span style=\"font-size: small;\">I love the outdoors in winter with all the snow, ice and cold, but others may have warmer climates, or prefer to be indoors with a warm drink by a fire. How do you see winter?<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n<h2>Contest Rules<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The rules are simple. The hosting blogger is the chosen winner of the previous round. The new host chooses a generic keyword or phrase that other travelers submit photos to during the course of the week. Phrases can be as generic as \u2018signs\u2019 all the way to abstract thoughts like \u2018religion\u2019 and everything in between. At the end of the week, the hosting blogger chooses their favourite photo that fits the chosen phrase and moves it to the top of the post as the winning entry with direction to the new host\u2019s site for the next round. Readers can attempt to sway the author into picking a certain photo via comments, but the author can ignore comments as they see fit. The game is repeated with the winner hosting the following week\u2019s game and choosing a phrase for new photo submissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Extra Criteria to Keep in Mind When Submitting a Photo:<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">One submission per Blog (so sites that have 2+ authors only get one entry). <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">In this round, post processing is permitted as I believe it is essential <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Abstract submissions welcomed as long as it fits within the interpretation of the chosen phrase. Remember, the hosting blogger chooses the winner, so if they cannot understand the submission, you might not win! <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">If you win, keep these in mind when choosing a new theme:<br \/>\n<b>*<\/b> Keep phrases general so that all bloggers can participate. Specific items like \u201cEiffel Tower\u201d should be avoided but rather made open-ended like \u201cmonuments.\u201d For variety, it is okay to say focused things such as \u201cmonuments at night\u201d which most of us have pictures of.<br \/>\n<b>*<\/b> Abstract thoughts are appreciated, but keep it within the realm that all readers will understand. No \u201cKafka-esque\u201d, or \u201cOverlooking Creation\u201d. Use something that is able to be interpreted by all.<br \/>\n<b>*<\/b> *NEW* After 1 year, phrases can be reused, however new photos must be submitted. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">No obscene pictures or phrases allowed. Suggestive phrases and photography can be accepted, but please keep it within reason. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Keep the ideas and photos fresh! <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Pictures from your entire portfolio are fair to submit. You do not have to take the photo within the week of the contest period to submit it. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Most importantly, ALL PHOTOS MUST BE YOUR OWN. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">One last rule, since this is a competition for bloggers, we need you to be a blogger to be declared a winner. Sorry!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Submit An Image<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">To enter in the Photo Roulette competition simply leave a comment below with a link to the image (whether Flickr, Picasa or your own site) and we will upload it to this post. Don\u2019t forget to provide a brief description or caption for the photo so the viewers can get a little background as to what\u2019s happening. Check back here throughout the week to see all the entries as they come in and feel free to comment on them. The contest runs for 7 days from today, with the submission date being <b>Jan 8th , 2012\u00a0 \u2013 Jan 15th\u00a0 , 2012<\/b> (Sunday thru Sunday). The winner will be announced within the next few days after the deadline, and they will host round 35.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>**Note** Medium size pictures are preferred (around 600 px).
