Many of you were probably eager to submit mobile photos to PhotoBook, before categories were removed. But don’t worry as we’re bringing you mobile photography as the final Themed Challenge of the year!
We’re looking for the best photos you can take using your mobile phones, to prove that the type of camera doesn’t matter as much as the photographer behind it. Get creative as the possibilities are limitless, as long as, of course, they’re taken using a mobile phone!

Some Tips and Hints from Our Judges
1. A good and strong photograph usually does not need a title or caption to ‘tell’ us what’s going on. Think about what you want to convey – take into consideration the composition and framing of your photo.
2. Think about the various techniques you can use, such as playing with lighting or textures.
3. Think outside of the box. This month’s theme allows you to be creative and push the boundaries.
Only have a phone? No Problem!
We don’t care what device you use. Know its limitations and work within the confines.
