We hope you all enjoyed your holidays! We also hope the short break from our contests gave you a little down time to spend photographing your family, friends and feasts (along with the obligatory Christmas bokeh, of course).

But now it’s a whole new year, and we are back with all new photography contests. This month, in the gloom of winter, we decided to focus on a little bit of color. For our first week we’re shooting all things that are warmly colored. Yellow flowers, amber berries, glowing sunsets. Get out there and photograph a warm color palette and let that help you through these cold winter days. Head over to our Flickr group to join in or just stop by and say hi!
