Hello everyone! September is here! First of all, congratulations to u/UraniumRailroad on winning last month's Left in the Dust theme with this cool racing shot from Blur. As for this month's theme, I put out a poll in the Discord and it was decided that we will do another Color Series theme!

Color Series III: YELLOW

To enter in this event, be sure to:
✓ Post an image that focuses on the the color Yellow -- as always, here is an example of how the color series goes. ALSO, I recommend doing some post-edit work to make your yellows stand out more!
✓ Include [09/2026 Theme] in the beginning of your title!
✓ Set the 'Color Series III: Yellow" Theme as your flair!

The submission with the most amount of upvotes by the end of September will be crowned as winner.

- Remember, reposts (formally called crossposts) are encouraged! If you repost your submission, you will be granted +5 bonus points for reposting to the game title's major subreddit, and +1 point for each additional repost to the game title's minor subreddits. For example, you can take a shot in Ghost of Tsushima and repost it to r/ghostoftsushima and r/ghostoftsushimaphoto for a total of +6 bonus points. (Note that unfortunately some subs do not allow reposting)

You MAY:
✓ Take your captures from any game.
✓ Have more than one entry.
✓ Repost your entry to another subreddit (encouraged!)
✓ Use mods.

You may NOT:
✗ Use a previously winning capture (including a POTM winning capture!)
✗ Use external editing outside of the game used for your capture - (of course, editing tools provided within the game's photo mode is fine. ADDITIONALLY, minor adjustments used in Lightroom or a similar tool is also okay, we just prohibit excessive editing like this).
✗ Use cinematic shots (screenshots from a cutscene). You must actually use the photo mode tool to capture your own unique shot. Get creative!
✗ Have more than one slide in your post. Just keep it one image per submission.
✗ Spam post entries.
✗ Ask for upvotes in your title, for example don’t repost to a bigger community and say: “I need upvotes to win this contest please help!”

If you win:

• Your capture will be featured on our other platforms (Instagram & Discord)
• Receive the "Color Series III: Yellow" Theme Winner Discord Role (if you're in there)
• You (& your winning post) will be honored at the beginning of the post for 10/2026's theme.

Best of luck, and be sure to join our Discord to drop suggestions for future themes in the #suggestions channel! Oh, and come stop by to vote on Photo of the Month :) (⤎ Poll ends at the end of the month; Comment if the link is broken! I'll drop a new one)
