Hey guys! For all you avid photographers...snap to it!

Groovetickets Photo Contest

Maybe you've gone digital. Maybe you're still stuck on the short-lived Kodak Advantix drop-in loading film trend (I was until I lost the camera). Maybe you rock the disposable because you're afraid of losing the camera (see above). Maybe your phone is your camera. We don't care how it is you take your photos, we just want your best. Don't let summer 2005 pass you by without filmic documentation. And when you've snapped your best pics of the season, send them to us. The photographer behind the best photos of the summer will win a fabulous twenty pack of CDs from Ultra Records, including the latest, Ultra. Weekend. You have until September 7th so start snapping now!

Sometimes the best summer memories are from a night when you spontaneously went to that underground house party. Others come from the rave you bought your tickets for in May. Sometimes holiday weekends – Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day (plus Canada Day and Simcoe Day up north) – provide the best opportunity for the perfect photo. You can send us a single photo or a series, just make sure to tell us how you want it considered. With the deadline not until Wednesday, September 7th, you have time to include your Labor Day pics.

We encourage your creativity, and enjoy posed photos but generally cringe from America's Funniest Home Video-style staged bloopers. Bob Saget we ain't. Snaps of sexy people won't necessarily win, but if those sexy people are single and you include their phone numbers, we can't say it would hurt your chances. Similarly, while we enjoy The Cobra Snake and his Terry Richardson aspirations, crotch shots don't automatically appeal to us.
