As long as the picture contains keycaps that are listed on our website it is fair game!
Come on guys! If there is only 1 submission by the end of the contest, that means that individual wins the 1st Place prize by default.

No need to apologize ;]
This contest is completely optional. We'd just like to give geekhackers an opportunity for free keycaps.

I'll take my chances in the subscriber's portion since I literally just got the email saying I was entered. Thanks for doing the contest. I'll have to pay more attention to your GH subforum next time you guys run one.

Much thanks! So far 3 submissions! Taking a photo only takes a minute! The nicer the photo the higher chance you have of winning!

Keep in mind multiple submissions allowed! Didn't like the last photo you took? Take another one!

My first idea was this one: Ship of Fools Keycaps

(http://i.imgur.com/aWbv9.jpg)

But my daughter jumped in the water before I could get a better shot.

So my official entry is the following: Basking in the Aussie Sunshine

(http://i.imgur.com/HBMJp.jpg)

About 37 degrees outside at the moment - the keycaps were hot to the touch when I had finished.

My other KeyPop keycaps would have been invited along, but they have been in the mail since late November - should I be worrying?

Edit: They arrived today :)  A bit too late to get into that pic, I might see if I can setup another photo, but my other half has other plans.  "Basking in the Aussie Sunshine" stands as my entry for now.

I think we have a winner. My photos pale in comparison to these two. Great job Rowdy!

If only I had some caps from you guys.
Id bring out the 85 1.2 and bokeh the crap out of it.

It sure is hot down under...luckily in an air conditioned environment

Apparently it's going to be 43 degrees tomorrow.. It also reached 43 where I am a week ago too. By the way, love those photos :)

Pretty simple, but the caps look excellent on their own :)

We have 24 forecast for tomorrow, much nicer.  My other half has plans for the morning, at least.  Might has to see if I can collect all my KeyPop keycaps together, now the new 16 have arrived, and take a group photo :)

Good luck mate!

Here's my submission. If I didn't get home at midnight today I would have probably gone into the garden to find a nicer flower :)

This is one of the other ideas I had, but it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. Hopefully you guys still enjoy it!

Wish I had a DSLR so I could actually take quality photos xD
Oh well, here is my poor attempt at showing the beauty of these 'caps from KeyPop!
Says I can enter the contest as many times as I like, so I'll just post all my potato pics  in this album:/

Haha, maybe I should change my submission around then ;) It was the first idea I had but I lacked a few more unique keys with the same colours to stick on. Some earlier pictures I took which I didn't post had the top layer completely covered in white and yellow keys too =)

Understandable. At least in this pic, he hasn't broken the ketchup bottle yet, and is thus still happy XD
But I like the Tux-Pika.
