I’m excited to announce that I’m teaming up with the wonderful Kristi of Live and Love Out Loud and Alicia of Project Alicia for the brand new Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge – a colorfully inspiring autumn photography challenge aimed at capturing the beautiful shades of autumn.
The Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge will run from October 7th thru November 25th and is open to everyone regardless of skill level, time commitment or camera equipment. Simply share your favorite images inspired by the autumn color of the week each Friday. Then we’ll choose a few of our favorites from the bunch and share them with you on our blogs the following Thursday.
Here’s a look at our colorfully inspiring themes:

October
October 7th – Green
October 14th – Yellow
October 21st – Orange
October 28th – Red
November
November 4th – Purple
November 11th – Brown
November 18th – White
November 25th – Shades of Autumn Finale
Just a few more details…
Simply share your favorite images inspired by the autumn shade of the week each Friday and grab our lovely Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge button while you’re at it!


At least 50% of your image must contain the color of the week; the autumn shade being the main focus of your photo. No selective coloring, please.
Share your favorite images by linking directly to your Shades of Autumn blog post or Flickr photo, not your blog’s home page or Flickr Photostream. Feel free to share your photos in our Shades of Autumn Flickr Group as well.
The linky will remain open from 12:01am Friday – 11:59pm Wednesday. Don’t forget to visit and comment on the previous entry in the linky list.
By submitting your images to the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge, you are thereby granting permission for the display of your work on photo challenge hosts’ blogs for upcoming features. Proper credit will always be given and a link back to your original post will be provided as well.
We’ll select our favourite photos of the week and share them with you at Bumbles & Light, Project Alicia and Live and Love Out Loud the following Thursday.
All posts published by photo challenge hosts will go live at 12:01am CST.
Kristi, Alicia and I are so excited about sharing the beauty of autumn with you in our Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge. We can’t wait to be inspired by your colorful images as well.
