I don't really need to lose a bunch of weight, so my new year's resolution will be to regularly exercise my creative muscles…and this seems like a great way to do it!

Join in the fun!

365 Days / 52 Weeks

The beginning of the new year is the perfect time to take on new projects, have new goals, and to really just turn over a new leaf.

Many photographers, like yourself, have experienced the incredible benefits of photographing self portraits. Not only does it help your ease in front of the lens, it also helps us learn a lot about photography in general.

There's no better way to keep motivated and inspired than joining us in the 365 days or 52 weeks project challenge this coming 2013.

365 Days
The most prestigious challenge of all challenges, for the bravest and most strong willed out there, is the 365 Days Challenge.  One photo, every day, for a year, starting January 1st 2013.

52 Weeks
Still no small feat, this 52 weeks challenge involves the self portrait photographer to submit a single photo every week.  There are self proclaimed themes, recaps of how your week went, or just random shots from the week.

Partake in either or both of these challenges with us in the new year!  The moderators will come up with themes from time to time, and we will also pick winners and feature them when there are themes and specific challenges we're going for.

How to participate
Every submission should have one photo posted to the correct bucket in our community.  There is a place for 365 and 52 projects on the left hand side.  If you'd like, you can also tag it with   #365selfs  or   #52selfs .  These tags are subject to change, but we'll really be going off of where you're posting it in the community.

And that's it! We'll be updating you guys more as we go along.  So get your cameras ready for January 1st for the 365 days project or by the end of the first week fo January!

Really looking forward to what this amazing community can come up with!

Join our kickoff event day to get reminded and to officially say you're in!
