Congratulations to Allen Sheffield of Grand Prairie, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! This is Allen’s first victory in our contest. He follows last week’s winner, Pankaj Sharma.

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 Allen:

Title of photo: Dallas Farmers Market 2
Equipment: Konica Minolta DiMage Z3 / Fujifilm S200 EXR
Tell us more about your photo: My wife and I know we can always get good veg at the Dallas Farmers’ Market. On Sunday, July 10, I decided to take my old Konica Minolta 4 meg camera just in case we spotted any interesting displays. Fortunately, all of the stalls seemed beautiful that day so that was easy. But I wanted only the display (not the shoppers), so that took a bit of waiting. I have taken a number of market photos in Peru, Ecuador and, of course, here at home. You can see them here.
