2023 Photo of the Week Theme ideas please

[ricktas]

As we head into 2023 we will need a list of themes to setup our Photo of the Week competitions.

Please reply to this thread with some theme ideas. The only requirements are that the themes must be able to be done by anyone, no matter where they live, and must be a theme that all photographic experience levels can do.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for ideas for 2023.

The school of photography site has monthly challenges. Two of those themes, “Elevation” and “minimalism” had some very interesting posts.

All the Sunday in 2023. I have pre-filled competition themes/ideas we use each year.
