Our March Photo Contest is now live! The theme is Inspired by Light. Show us photos in which light is the star (even more than usual). Your entry should wow us with dynamic, awe-inspiring light.

We’re accepting submissions through Sunday, March 24. Voting begins Monday, March 25 at noon, and the winner will be announced March 29. Good luck!

This month’s contest is sponsored by Westcott and inspired by the Grand Prize: the Westcott Ice Light. The Ice Light is the first ever easily-handheld LED daylight light source, offering the ability to shoot and light in tandem without the need of heavy light stands or additional mounting systems.

Check out this video to see how pro photog Jim Schmelzer uses Ice Lights for senior portraits:

The Second Place Prize is a Modern Vintage Backdrop of the winner’s choosing! These seamless, wrinkle-resistant backdrops are embossed in a thick velour and won’t give you any reflections from flash. Their retro designs and vintage colors will make any portrait stand out.

The Popular Vote winner will receive a 40″ 5-in-1 Reflector. This compact and easy-to-use reflector kit contains a one-stop diffusion panel ideal for diffusing harsh light indoors or outdoors. The included slip cover utilizes gold, black, white and silver surfaces and reflects light to fill in unwanted shadows.

Looking to make your light more dynamic? Let Westcott’s selection of light modifiers inspire you. Check out their umbrellas and softboxes, including the 43″ Round Apollo Orb.

So submit your photo today! We look forward to being Inspired By Light!
