We’re celebrating Save Your Photos Month in September with a new type of photo-taking mini-challenge. We’d love for you to participate to show off your photography.

Save Your Photos Month is all about treasuring life’s moments and experiences captured in your photography, whether they are mundane, magical or melancholic. Expect this mini-challenge to support this idea throughout the month as we reveal daily challenge updates.

Here’s how it will work

Every day this September, we’ll announce a new 24-hour photo theme. Your challenge: shoot and upload a matching photo to our community album before the day ends. At the end of the month, we’ll feature our favorite photos in a front-page DPReview spotlight.

The photo album we create at the start of the mini-challenge will be the same one you use for submitting each day’s themed photo. As soon as we announce the new day’s update, prior-day submissions will no longer be possible. Think of it as an advent calendar of sorts, where we reveal the next day’s theme each day.

We will reveal the theme for each day at 7 am PDT / 2 pm UTC.

Steps to share your photos

• Stand by for the day’s announcement here on this post (see below).
• Take a photo that supports the day’s theme. It must be taken that day.
• Upload that photo to the shared album (currently hidden until September 1) with at least a one-sentence caption. Feel free to write more if you have a story to tell.

That’s it!

To share your photos outside of the forums and on social media, be sure to use the hashtag #SaveYourPhotosMonth. DPReview has an Instagram channel you can mention as well (thank you).

Daily theme reveals

Watch here daily at 7 am PDT / 2 pm UTC to see the next day’s theme announced.

We’ve already revealed the opening theme, so you can prepare to upload once the album opens on that morning:

• September 1: What’s on your dinner plate
• 2: TBA
• 3: TBA
• To continue…

We’re excited to see your photos, so get ready for Tuesday’s mini-challenge kick-off. Have fun!
