MK Winter 2019 Photo Contest

Our photo contest welcomes San Diego photographers of all skill levels to submit through Instagram.  A new theme is announced prior to each contest.

Winter Contest Submissions are closed.
Thank you to all who participated!
We will accept submissions for our Spring photo contest sometime in March, so stay tuned!

 

We're getting creative for this one folks, and we hope you like the challenge! Thanks to our resident theme-brainstormer and sales associate, Vee, our theme for this winter is duotone. 

"While duotones are a modern trend, the duotone effect has a long history in design. And despite its limited color scheme, it can have hundreds of incarnations, from the understated to the eclectic, and has unlimited creative potential..." - Jamal Johnson of 99designs

For more information on the duotone effect, we recommend the following article: The Duotone Effect: what it is and how to create a duotone design
