Congratulations to Kurt Griesbach of Dallas, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! You might remember Kurt from the Artist Studio Tour we did with him last fall. This is his first win in the contest. He follows last week’s winner, Richard Payson.

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, more from Kurt:

Title of photo: City Blur
Equipment: Canon 60D, 50mm 1.4, Tripod, Intervalometer
Tell us more about your photo: Taken from atop the Trinity levees around 9 p.m. Dragging the camera vertically, I was able to elongate the elements in the shot with just enough shutter speed to make out the subject.
