Congratulations to Ian Aberle from Allen, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! Ian previously won in January for this photo. He follows last week’s winner, Bryan Varner of Midlothian.

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 Ian:

Title of photo: Missa de Functorum

Equipment used: Canon 7D with the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens shot at 1600 ISO at 1/180. Edited in Adobe Lightroom to increase brightness and reduce clarity to give it that nice glow effect.

Tell us more about your photo: During the week of February 27, the Meadows School of the Arts Division of Dance presented a public series of lunchtime performances of 10-15 original ballet, modern, and jazz works by students. I was lucky enough to catch the last of the Spring 2012 Brown Bag Dance Series. These very talented dance students performed some very lovely dance pieces. This photo is of “Missa de Functorum” featuring dancers Kaitlyn McDermitt, Katrina Kutsch, Caitlin Heflin, Claire Elizabeth Cuny, Niki Powell, and Constance Grace Dolph.
