PRIZE

Fireplace and Furnace, Cambridge, ZonelifeBig fires and residential houses don’t mix; it requires an engineering degree to bring them together. Lenzr hopes to celebrate the mechanics of home heating in a photo challenge showcasing indoor fire photography.



Oil furnaces and wood fireplaces are the best sources of warmth when it's freezing cold outside. The contest hopes to display pictures of people and animals relaxing beside the warmth of a fire inside the house. Or the soft glow of an oil burning furnace in a dark basement. A stone hearth? An iron drum stove and the setting it creates in a cozy cottage. Clothes drying on a rack beside the open stove door, or maybe the jets of flame in the bed of an oil furnace would all be great submissions.



This is indoor photography, and the subject should be lit by firelight inside the house or building


The dog days of summer are actually the best time to think about home heating discounts, and Zonelife furnace installer in Cambridge Ontario takes this time to remind customers to beat the rush and get ‘summer deals’

I guess I could go and turn on my fireplace in the middle of summer to take a pic but I think timing for this competition is a little off

Gosh, if you look back at previous contests you'll see that there has been a great variety of themes offered by this site, that do indeed cover the wide range that Canada has to offer!! I don't see any need to offer 'beach theme' only in summer, mix it up it's more variety and fun that way, sure some people might go back to previous pics or put their creative hats on and look for new unique approaches. As photographers most people are constantly taking photos, and have built up a nice collection that they can draw on if they want. 'having photographers take photos in present time' only serves to limit the number of people who can enter. Not everyone can get to a construction site or beach in a given month or two, but may have beautiful photos in their collections, so they should be able to enter those.
By the way, the Community Contests now gives you and anyone the option to choose your own theme and run a contest based on that theme.

Hey I totally missed out on this conversation. Yes Blish this Furnaces in summertime was weird and ultimately not very successful, but better than I thought it was going to turn out - we got 22 entries! that deserves a pat on the back and thanks to all Lenzr members !
I respond by saying that its always a challenge for picking the theme - it should be of things that people take pictures of anyway. We have some GREAT CONTESTS coming up in Sept . Fingers crossed. You are going to see some very cool ideas come to life.
