What a delight to see Sydney’s iconic statue of a perfect ‘match’ for this contest’s theme. of I never tired of seeing this contrasting new and old reminder that matches are a timeless symbolic of the fundamental little thing we often dismiss. The clever background natural composition allowed the viewer to see many more symbolic representations here too! Congrats on reaching the top ten!

Brief

See more contest details

This contest is for your colour photos of matchsticks. They can be shown in different lengths and being used in a variety of ways. Photos can include other elements in the shot but the main focus should be the matchsticks themselves. Please only enter photos in colour. I hope you have fun in bringing this contest to light.

Congratulations on receiving the top spot of this contest. Your image was captivating, unique and cleverly displayed the ‘time’ element of what matches represent throughout our history of the world. The composition, black background a focus ready kept me engaged. Well done!

What an eye catching fantastic display of planning and composition to create the overall harmony and effect of this wonderful shot! The striking colour of the flame is only outMATCHED by the movement captured in the smoke. They say, ‘where there is smoke there is fire’ but in this case it is simply HOT!

Congrats on this creation of matches. So much time and effort must have gone into this construction and against the marble background is a real standout. This met the brief in showing the many uses of matches and not only for its typical use.
