So do you think that there has to be more than 1 word in the frame? I stumbled upon a neat shot this afternoon and submitted it. I read this thread and wondered why folks were stuck and realized that maybe it's because "Words" is plural??
Tell me I'm in for a "doesn't meet the challenge" ;(
Mine is one word.. but I see your point. It's not perfectly clear ("Take a photograph where complete words -- not just individual letters -- play a creative role in your composition.")
I know there will be entries with one word (at least I hope I'm not alone!) that should be equally effective!
What about the same repeated? Its actually one word, but also many words? This can get confusing - just enter a good photo that has some letters that make sense to some people! Do the words need to be in English?

Possibly the one word dilemma might be over come if one word is in the submission another is used in the title.... that would be at least two words...

Didn't think of that --- might be confusing. Is that better or worse than not meeting the challenge? Currently the word and title are the same (fairly obvious) so I'll think about changing it!
And Kolya - no way would I expect it to be in English only. :)
i am really very content with my photo. But i've been scoring so low lately, i'll probably be dissapointed again. Anyway, I like it, although i'm not too sure about the spelling.
I found a really great quote I want to use, but don't know if I have the sense to pull it off...I thought hobbies were supposed to be relaxing and fun!!! LOL
oh well , finally got one that fits the challenge but is extremely
boring..........[do these score the same as not fitting the challenge
but nice picture?]
24hrs to go, something else may come up?
even looked in corbis, found nix

One word or two - Title and Picture? I think the title is considered a part of the submission and this example and my view of the word challenge to me illustrates that point. This is a mundane idea and poor pic but the one word depicted with a title I would think qualifies as "words"
This morning I had the notion of photographing H.P. Lovecraft's grave because it has an interesting inscription, "I AM PROVIDENCE" (the local joke is One A.M. Providence). I got to Swan Point cemetary and wound up having to follow the security guard in his car. He had to turn around and drive back our way and when he saw me taking pictures, he very nicely told my husband it wasn't allowed without prior permission.
The headstone wasn't as interesting as I remembered from visiting it several years ago. Frequently, fans leave offerings on the headstone and around the grave but there were none there this morning. I'm not a fan. I've read some of his work but found it a touch quaint for my taste. However, he is an important literary figure in Rhode Island. The headstone is quite small and plain. I got one shot before the guard asked me to stop. He didn't ask me to delete my images or anything but it wasn't any good. Being there did inspire me to go back and ask permission to shoot there. It is a beautiful, historic cemetary. My husband's family is an old one in Rhode Island and they have a mausoleum there which might be interesting to photograph.
Anyway, the photo I submitted is completely different but I like it quite a bit. It will probably do poorly as usual.
I am happy with the picture I submitted for words. But saw this tonight in the Barracks on post while husband was visiting a friend. I found it kind of humorous. But don't think it would have made a good entry. I wish I could have gotten this sign and somebody smoking in bed at the same time. Anyway..here is some WORDS!
