I have to say that I am OVERWHELMED with the responses to this contest! Never before have I imagine it to blow up to be such a grand thing on deviantART!
I have met so many new artists and made new friends from this competition. The submissions are just brilliant and make it such a hard task to pick the best of the best!
I would like to thank

`karemelancholia and 
: ~Le-Kwi for spreading the word in their journals. Much appreciated 
I would also especially like to thank

WHAT IS A SQUARE PHOTO?
A square photo is a photo which has the same width and height, eg, 600 x 600, 525 x 525, 861 x 861. It is NOT a landscape photo (with width greater than height, eg 800 x 600) and it is NOT a portrait photo (width less than height, eg 600 x 800).
Here is an example of a square photo:

Here is an examlple of a landscape photo:
WHAT SHOULD THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE PHOTO BE?
This is up to you and your creativity!
HOW MANY PHOTOS CAN I SUBMIT?
You can submit ONE photo of yours AND/OR submit a MAXIMUM of TWO photos from other people.
HOW DO I SUBMIT?
Send me a NOTE with "square photo" as the subject.
WHAT WILL THE JUDGEMENT BE BASED ON?
It will be based on the concept and idea behind the photo, the composition, emotions it portrays, and everything in between. Remember, square photos have a tricky composition! So it is essential!
I SUBMITTED AN ALMOST-SQUARE PHOTO... WHAT HAPPENS?
I gave an exception to a non-perfect-square photo so it is only fair I also accept other such photos. However, the dimensions should at least make it LOOK square.
HOWEVER please note that for judging, PREFERENCE IS GIVEN TO PERFECT-SQUARE PHOTOS so please from now on try to submit only perfect-squares. If it is a couple of pixels off, like 700 x 705, I will still consider it perfect square. If it like 600 x 650 then it will fall into the not-so-square category and it will be on second preference.
WHEN WILL COMPETITION END? WHEN WILL WINNERS BE ANNOUNCED? HOW WILL I BE NOTIFIED?
The competition ends JUNE 15. The winners will be announced on JULY 1. I will be updating the weekly submissions on my journal as well as a news article. The final winners will also be posted on my journal and a news article.
WHAT ARE THE PRIZES?
Grand Prize: 1 year sub + feature
1st and 2nd runner ups: 6 month and 3 month sub respectively.
If you have more questions please feel free to ask. This is the first time I run such a competition so any feedback is welcome
Also please notify me if I have put a not-so-square photo in the square category and vice versa... I am human too!
Enjoy
