Here's a quirky competition. And you don't need to be a professional photographer to enter. It's open to anyone who has a camera or who can borrow one. It's not your normal run-of-the-mill contest. Here's how it works ....
Your subject is ``Grate Expectations'' and you'll be judged not just on the quality of your photograph, but on your lateral thinking as well. So you could photograph a cheese grater as I've done, or you could shoot a grate or a heavily pregnant mum-to-be (``expectations'', get it?) or you could get really creative and reprise the famous Marilyn Monroe scene, with her dress swirling above a street-level grate.
You have a week to get an entry in. Bloggers can simply leave a comment here, with the url of their entry. Those who do not have blogs can leave the url of a Flickr account. Get those cameras out, hone your sense of humour, sharpen those powers of lateral thinking - and get in touch with me right here.
Entries close Sunday 20 May, at 1am GMT. Good luck.
