There was a contest like that a while back, it was TV shows and movies, I think. We had some pretty cool entries, too.

There was one with recreating famous photots/paintings too.
I'd love to do a "recreating" theme, but I can't think of any that have been done before.
I need ideas!

I think I remember the one your talking about, wasn’t one of the entries a close-up on Primes face with the constructicons doing stuff in the background? that’s sort of where I got the idea for this, except only transformers based entries was what I was thinking about.

Yeah, there was a 'Recreate an Important Historical Event' contest as well. I remember that I used Classics Astrotrain as Challenger...
Recreating, eh? Maybe something like 'Recreate a Scene from a Video Game.' Participants would have to provide a screenshot of what it is they're recreating, naturally.
I see things like Unicron as Pac-Man, or Sideswipe and Sunstreaker as the Mario Bros.

I meant recreate a scene from only transformers shows, like a scene from G1 or a scene from the movie, has they’re been one like that already?

Themes that are vercitile and people can interpret and play with are better suited for this contest. Trouble is, I'm running out of such themes.
There are some that just won't work.

We'll work on pitching you guys ideas in the Photocontest Discussion threads, we always do!

Sounds like it'd make for a bunch of photos of TFs in altmode on the living room floor...

That sounds like it could make a good contest. Just be sure to ask around in the Discussion threads for suggestions for words.

Or I could randomly choose one from the Dictionary!
Acutally, I was thinking, 'Brave' might be a good word for the first one. It's a broad word people can work with and use different senrarios.

"This month's random word from the dictionary is 'pinhole.' Good luck!"
But yeah, broad words like "Party" or "Ownage" would be fun.

Cannonball Run. Transformers are in a race for the ultimate prize. What is the prize? Who's in the race? Are they playing fair or dirty? You decide. Then go photograph it.
The Ultimate Battle. When all the smoke clears, only one Transformer rises above the wreckage to be crowned champion and ultimate survivor. Photograph the victor and his spoils of war.
Election Time. Your task is to create a political campaign poster for your favorite Transformer candidate. Prime for President? Megatron for the Chair of the School Board? Photoshop is allowed.
The Anti-Photo Photo Contest. No photos this round. This time, submit your best piece of hand-drawn 2D Transformer art work.

All very great suggestions! Infact, I believe you may have provided the next theme. Won't give any hints as to what though.

Screw the run, just do a photocontest with Cannonball as the theme!
Liked all of your ideas Lapse, which is probably good since Neko seems to have nicked one for use...
