Caption Contests Closed (for the Summer)

For almost 5 years, the Caption Contests have been a popular section of the Corner Forums. The premise: Someone posts up a funny photo, and we all come up with witty captions for said photo. The winner gets to pick the next photo and we start all over again. If you want to check out some hilarious photos with even better captions, take some time to wade through the first 200 caption contests.

That being said, as of late, we’ve noticed a dip in participation in the caption contests - maybe we’re doing them too often, maybe we need to offer token prizes? Maybe funny captions on photos are just “so 2007.” Regardless, we’re going to take a break from the Caption Contests for the summer. If you cry, beg, scream, wail and offer bribes throughout the summer in the comments thread here, we may bring them back in the Fall… maybe. Make sure to say thanks to digital2006 for hosting the contests over the past 1+ years… it’s more work than you’d think.

Just so you don’t have to quit cold-turkey, we’ll have a mini-contest in the comments section for this post (right here). Check out the photo below, and give us your best caption in the comments. The one that makes me laugh the hardest gets 5 PhotographyCorner pens at the end of the summer. Go on, I dare you.
