In honor of awesome holiday lights, we’re holding Bokeh Challenge! Bokeh, at least for our purposes simply refers to “blur.” So the image you submit can be anything that shows off beautiful bokeh, not just lights. Read more below!
What’s the Contest?
We’re asking you to submit any image of beautiful bokeh. Please List the gear used and your basic settings (we are a photography tutorial site after all). The best image, as chosen by our team (but influenced by the number of Facebook likes), will receive a $250 gift card to B&H.
How to Enter
- 1) Submit the image to the SLR Lounge forums (as a new thread) HERE
- 2) List the equipment used (camera, lens, and light source), your basic settings (shutter speed, f-stop and ISO), and a link to your portfolio
- 3) Publish the Post and share with your friends (the number of likes on your thread will heavily influence the judges’ decisions)
- 3) That’s it! Along the way we’ll choose our favorites to post on SLR Lounge. The winner is chosen on January 2, 2013.
Disclaimer
One Entry Per Person so be sure to pick your best one!

so, who won?
Has the winner been announced?
Who won this contest? I don’t seem to be able to find that info anywhere.
I’m trying too…I can’t find any info on this or the other contest.
Hi, When will the winner be announced? Thanks
I can’t seem to post, nobody has approved my post. :(
Sorry to be picky on this one… when I click “like” to like my post and share it on FB, it doesn’t actually pull in a thumbnail of the attached pic, but what looks like the loading gif image, is that normal? Just want to make sure I’m doing it correctly. So they have no reference of what I’m posting unless they click on the link. (I won’t post mine on this comment thread so we don’t all think I’m spamming here – ha)
May not be that big of a deal, just wanted to see if anyone else had the same issue.
No fair the FB likes… :-( this should be based on the photo not on how many friends you have on FB…

Sweet. i was just telling myself a month or two ago while looking at the photography exhibit at the local fair, ” I should enter some contest to challenge myself to produce better images”
Awesome! already participating
is there a deadline?
January 2nd is the last day to submit
Can we post more than one?
sorry for not clarifying.. i’ve added that there is only one entry per person.
thanks for pointing that out!
Steps one and 2 are fair enough but why not just say it’s a popularity contest rather than a photography contest – most likes will influence judging hmmm *shakes head*
Haha, don’t worry. The “most likes” thing is just for an attention grabber. I.E. if a shot has 50 likes, we will be sure to give it a good look over compared to one that is just submitted with no views. Essentially, if we are having a hard time deciding which one might be better (two or three are tied) it may come down to “likes” to help us determine the winner.
Do I get extra credit for letting you know that the post says “January 2012” instead of 2013?
Thanks for pointing that out! You get extra Karma credit.. haha
