----- Competition One Hundred and Thirty-Six ----

Sure, we can go to an art museum to see works of art, but that isn't necessary ...art has been installed all around us, both legally and illegally.

Photos for this competition should be of art installed in public places. If possible, you should also post the name of the artist (let's try to give credit where credit is due) and its location. [Google is your friend!]

Submissions for this competition should be posted as discussion on THIS thread, and should be a small sized photo as described in the INSTRUCTIONS. Add your photo, and if you have it, the artist's name and the location of the installation.

Entries from your photostream will be accepted, though photographs shot specifically for the theme are always encouraged.

This competition will run for ONE WEEK from Nov 12th 2007 to Nov 19th 2007. ONE entry per person please.

-----SLIDESHOW------
We will also have a slide show available for those who wish to participate. To be in the slide show please add the tag TCComp136 to your picture. The slide show makes for nice viewing, but “Official Entry” is your Post on this thread. To access the slideshow we have put a link on the Theme Competition main page.

----- Judging -----
Once we know the winner of the previous competition, they will judge. Unfortunately they will not be able to submit any entries for this round.


----- BLOG -----
Feel free to browse the new companion BLOG. Here you can view all the honorable mentions as well as the winners and runners up. You are also free to submit comments about the photos, or your opinions on the competition and judging etc.

Not an easy one to judge. Usually every theme competition has one or two that just leap off the page at me as being the best. This one had nearly all the entries grab me.

So, without further adieu...

Honorable Mentions

"james bond invasion" by helter-skelter

"Windblown" by bksecretphoto

"V was for...?" by alterednate

Runner Up

"The Passion of Kent St." by Linus Gelber

And our WINNER is...

"In Ore" by Monster.
In Ore[?]

And the winner eked out the runner up simply because I was so taken w/ the inclusion of the lady contemplating the art.

Again, congrats to everyone. Every single photo submitted was a strong shot, and this was not easy.
