For no reason other than I think it's a good idea, this month's competition theme is round. So anything that is circular, spherical, or your take on that shape, is fair game.

There's a 12" Fracture up for grabs if your entry is the one that catches our eye.

You have from today (Friday 5 October) until Friday 26 October 2012 to submit your entry. Yes, entry in the singular because it's one submission per person, please.

Here are The Rules, for your elucidation. Otherwise, good luck and we're looking forward to judging!

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!
