We\u2019d love for you to participate to show off your photography.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"alignfull wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"ad-section--sidebar wp-block-gearpatrol-ad-slot\">\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Save Your Photos Month is all about treasuring life\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-here-s-how-it-will-work\">Here\u2019s how it will work<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every day this September, we\u2019ll 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\u2019ll feature our favorite photos in a front-page DPReview spotlight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The photo album we create at the start of the mini-challenge will be the same one you use for submitting each day\u2019s themed photo. As soon as we announce the new day\u2019s update, prior-day submissions will no longer be possible. Think of it as an advent calendar of sorts, where we reveal the next day\u2019s theme each day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will reveal the theme for each day at 7 am PDT \/ 2 pm UTC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"alignfull wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"ad-section--sidebar wp-block-gearpatrol-ad-slot\">\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exact-steps-to-share-your-photos\">Steps to share your photos<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-block-list--unordered\">\n<li>Stand by for the day\u2019s announcement here on this post (see below).<\/li>\n<li>Take a photo that supports the day\u2019s theme.
