The Dog Days of Summer: DPReview Editors' Challenge

It's time to prepare for another DPReview Editors' Choice photo challenge! August is synonymous with the hot, humid summer days in much of the northern hemisphere, so our challenge theme will be 'The Dog Days of Summer'.

Show us how you embrace the sizzling days of summer! Whether it's a sun-soaked landscape, a summer picnic, playing in the water, or even photos of Sirius (The Dog Star), we want to see your summer photos.

If you're in the southern hemisphere, fear not! We know your summer months come at a different time of year, so we're opening this challenge to any photos taken at any time, though in the spirit of this being a challenge, we encourage you only to submit photos from the past year.

Bring on the heat!

How it works

DPReview editors will review every photo you upload to an Editors' Challenge. We'll publish our favorites in a gallery and celebrate your work on the DPReview homepage.

If you miss participating in this one, please look out for our next editors' challenge.

How to submit your photos

Submissions will open on September 1, and you have until Saturday, September 7, to submit. User voting will begin after that and will help inform DPReview Editors' Picks, but will not select them. They are one factor in our evaluation of submissions.
