If you completed the August 2010 Photo Hunt, please add your name/location and the permalink to your entry in Linky Tools by Sept 7th. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOU INCLUDE YOUR POST PERMALINK NOT JUST YOUR BLOG URL. ( Example, my blog url is http://www.sweetsauer.com but my permalink for PH#3 is http://www.sweetsauer.com/kristis_bliggitty_blog/2009/09/photo-hunt-challenge-3-my-results.html ). If you need help figuring out how to do this, please let me know ASAP.
I have three Guest Judges who will be helping me choose Favorites for August 2010 Photo Hunt: Samara, Kaye and Rian. Each of the Guest Judges and myself will pick Favorites for 5 different items/categories on the list. We will be going through all participant entries during the first week of September and will be posting our favorites shortly thereafter. A separate post will be dedicated to each item on the list with a poll to vote for your favorite of each. ONLY PHOTOS TAKEN DURING THE MONTH OF August 2010 ARE CONSIDERED FOR FAVORITES. If you included any photos from your archives ( two maximum are allowed), you must state that when you post the photo!!! Hopefully everyone labeled each photo file in the following manner: Yourname-category.jpg (ex: kristi-something musical.jpg). It makes it so much easier to choose favorites when we don’t have to manually type it in for you. Don’t worry about this if you use Flickr, as Flickr will assign a random 20-30 character name to your files and we will have to rename those anyway.
Looking forward to seeing all the entries! Thanks for to those who participated!

Hi, everyone! Welcome back to those of you who have participated in any or all of the last eight photo hunt challenges, and welcome to those of you who are here for the first time. August 2010 brings with it a new list of categories for you and your camera to explore. So, let’s get started.
1. A flag that represents you (your town, state, country, team, etc.)
2. Something comfortable
3. Something in season
4. Feet
5. Repetition
6. Culture or ethnicity
7. Contrast
8. An indulgence
9. A macro or closeup
10. Something masculine
11. Something feminine
12. Light
13. Eco-friendly
14. Business
15. An arrow
16. Something wet
17. Something dry
18. Butterflies*
19. Heart-Shaped Clouds*
20. Strength
* Please read the explanation on why these categories were included in this photo hunt challenge.
Photos should be taken between August 1st and August 31st. You may use a maximum of two photos from your archives — as long as they were taken within the past year — if you find yourself stuck on the 31st without having a photo for a category or two. You ARE allowed (and encouraged!) to use Photoshop or other photo-editing software as you’d like (it often adds to the artistic quality of the photo).
It is up to you whether you post your photos on your blog as you go or wait until September 1st to unveil them and make it a surprise. Either way, each of you should put all 20 photos in one single blog post or in a single online gallery by September 4th. Please label each photo file in the following manner: Yourname-category.jpg (ex: kristi-something musical.jpg).
A new post will go up here at photohuntchallenges.com on September 1st. I will be using a Linky Tools auto-link widget like the one below for participants to link their entries. Anyone who completes the August 2010 Photo Hunt will need to add their name & the URL permalink of where their Photo Hunt photos are posted. Everyone who adds their name to the auto-link will have their photos considered for the Favorites. Three guest judges and I will each judge five of the categories. We will be going through all of the participants’ entries, and will post our favorite photos for each of the 2o items on the list in a separate blog post with a poll for each. Please note that we will not include archived photos in my favorites (it hardly seems fair!). Anyone who votes is encouraged to vote based on their favorite photo, not just for a particular photographer. Voting is also open to anyone and everyone. The polls are open for up to one month from the time they are created and will be posted throughout the month of September. After all polls are closed, I will compile the photos of all the winners and will display them here on the photohuntchallenges.com blog.
