Flax against the dawn. Lake Wanaka.

Okay, I've got a bit of a thing for silhouettes at the moment, so I thought it'd make an excellent competition theme this month. There, pretty simple then: silhouettes.

If you submit the winning entry, you'll win yourself a 12" Fracture courtesy of the wonderful guys at Fracture. (And if you've not checked out their work, then you should!)

The competition opens today (Thursday 8 March) and closes on Thursday 29 March. Entries need to go into the Small Aperture Flickr pool, but please remember that it's one submission per person.

I've reproduced The Rules, in case you need to refer to them, but otherwise, good luck! (And don't forget, if you follow @SmallAperture on Twitter, you get up-to-date competition and other photographic news!)

The Rules

If you decide to enter, you agree to The Rules.
You can’t be related to either me or Haje to enter.
One entry per person – so choose your best!
Entries need to be submitted to the right place, which is the Small Aperture Flickr group.
There’s a closing date for entries, so make sure you’ve submitted before then.
You have to own the copyright to your entry and be at liberty to submit it to a competition. Using other people’s photos is most uncool.
It probably goes without saying, but entries do need to be photographs. It’d be a bit of strange photo competition otherwise.
Don’t do anything icky – you know, be obscene or defame someone or sell your granny to get the photo.
We (that being me and Haje) get to choose the winner and we’ll do our best to do so within a week of the competition closing.
You get to keep all the rights to your images. We just want to be able to show off the winners (and maybe some honourable mentions) here on Pixiq.
Entry is at your own risk. I can’t see us eating you or anything, but we can’t be responsible for anything that happens to you because you submit a photo to our competition.
We are allowed to change The Rules, or even suspend or end the competition, if we want or need to. Obviously we’ll try not to, but just so that you know.

If you've any questions, please just ask!
