Congratulations to Robert Sigafoos of Dallas, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! Robert is a first-time winner; he follows last week’s winner, James Neal. 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 Robert:

Title of photo: Imperial Dragon Boat with Texas Ferris Wheel
Equipment: Kodak Z1012 IS
Tell us more about your photo: We were getting ready to leave the State Fair Thursday, the 17th, when I decided to wait for the ferris wheel to turn to the word “Texas.”  Amazing how long it took to turn. One of the last pictures I took that night. The Chinese lanterns this year are very impressive and worth a visit day or night.
