How the contest works:
1. The host gives a topic.
2. You post up to 3 of your images that go along with the topic.
3. The host chooses the winner 7 days after the contest was started.
4. The winner becomes the host for the next week. If the winner does not post a new contest within 2 days, the 2nd place winner is the new host.

Sorry if it's just me that doesn't get it, but what does the topic mean? Or are we supposed to decide that on our own?
Thanks!

Ehren, thanks for asking. Yes, you can decide on your own regarding the interpretation of the topic given. There won't be a "wrong" entry as far as I'm concerned.

If you get a chance, you may check out the American photographer Irving Penn's 1992 publication titled "People in Passage". Personally I find it quite inspiring.
