Congratulations to Chris Cast of Dallas, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! Chris is a longtime contributor to the Art&Seek Flickr pool who last won our contest in August 2010. He follows last week’s winner, Lyn Caudle of Dallas.

If you would like to participate in the Flickr Photo of the Week contest, all you need to do is upload your photo to our Flickr group page. It’s fine to submit a photo you took earlier than the current week, but we are hoping that the contest will inspire you to go out and shoot something fantastic this week to share with Art&Seek users. If the picture you take involves a facet of the arts, even better. The contest week will run from Monday to Sunday, and the Art&Seek staff will pick a winner on Monday afternoon. We’ll notify the winner through FlickrMail (so be sure to check those inboxes) and ask you to fill out a short survey to tell us a little more about yourself and the photo you took. We’ll post the winners’ photo on Wednesday.

Now here’s more from Chris:

Title of photo: The Lane & The Light

Equipment used: Canon EOS T3 W/ 18-135mm lens

Tell us more about your photo: Experimenting with light and lens at the local bowling alley can be rewarding. The “no flash” shots are particularly interesting. Dancing light and a ghostly face or two turn this one into a futuristic, neon fire dance.
