##### _Disclaimer: To all our members and contestants. We need to be open and honest about something. The Friday Qurator 'Photo Quest' is not about just submitting a photo, any photo about the topic, it needs to be a photo that is of high quality. It needs to fight for our attention! Many of our moderators are photographers themselves and when we pick the winners, we take many photographic aspects into consideration. We do appreciate all the entries we get, and we always look over each & every entry carefully, but a blurry picture taken with a phone camera will rarely make the cut. So with all that being said, this is and will always be a __**photography competition**__ and we want to judge great photography. Challenge yourself, make yourself proud and submit something you would like to see (and admire) in a photo competition, not just any photo you have._

#### <center>Tag a friend and let them join in, adventures are always best with a friend. A little friendly competition can't hurt, right? ;)</center>
