Announcing the newest addition to Lens Culture magazine! Starting in 2010, every edition of Lens Culture will feature a special section of single images or short series submitted by our readers that perfectly encapsulate a changing theme.

The theme for the first new edition is Celebration!

We’re looking for images that show celebration in all its forms: intimate, grand, impromptu, public, private, exuberant, quiet, personal, traditional or bizarre. These could be festive celebrations, or sports events, birthday parties, sacred, profane, or … whatever! Your interpretation of “celebration” can and should be wide open.

Submit one to five images at our online submissions portal: lensculture.slideroom.com

You will be asked to set up an account, and to pay a $35 fee to cover our administrative costs. The editors of Lens Culture will review all entries and make the final selections for publication in Lens Culture. All selected images will include a link to the winners’ websites or blogs.

Good luck, and happy celebrations to everyone!
