The topic for the semifinal round is... open, there is no topic!

* Keep in mind, this round will culminate in an open vote for the Public Choice Award. So don't tune out if you are not eligible to compete, we'll need your vote!

Shay says:

Our second semifinal! My how time flies, and skills blossom, and portfolios burst at the seams. To all those who didn't qualify for this semifinal, take courage, there are still two more full cycles after this (10 qualifying rounds and two more semifinals). And to those who qualified for the first time (or even second time around), congratulations!

This round will tax your creative centers as you have to now develop your own theme and execute it. Use what you have learned to craft a photo that tells an unforgettable story, fills the viewer with unrestrained emotion, or enchants with simple stunning beauty, as just a few examples.

You are the artist...
