Each day, starting from 1st February, you&#8217;ll get a <strong>new theme<\/strong>, and you need to <strong>share\u00a0a photo that reflects that theme<\/strong> on one or more of your social networks &#8211; more on that in a second. Try and interpret the theme in a fun, creative way, as we&#8217;ll be sharing our favourites over the course of the month, choosing\u00a0a Photo of the Day each day and selecting an overall winner at the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>2. When you share your photo, tell us <strong>how to say whatever&#8217;s in your picture, in another language<\/strong>. It can be any language you like; you can even do a different one\u00a0every day if you want to, as long as it&#8217;s not\u00a0your own. And remember to tell us which language it is too!<\/p>\n<p>3. Use hashtag <strong>#uTalkinpics<\/strong> to let everyone (including us!) know you&#8217;re taking part in the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n<p>My photo for #Holiday &#8211; sunset, or\u00a0der Sonnenuntergang in German \ud83d\ude42\u00a0#uTalkinpics<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eurotalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/guernsey2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2418\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/eurotalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/guernsey2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset at Cobo Bay, Guernsey\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Where should I share my photos?<\/h3>\n<p>4.\u00a0You can share your photos on whichever social network you like &#8211; Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, anywhere&#8230; But to be considered for Photo of the Day and overall winner, you&#8217;ll <strong>need to use one of the following<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tweet us <a title=\"EuroTalk on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eurotalk\" target=\"_blank\">@EuroTalk<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Tag us on Instagram: <a title=\"EuroTalk on Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram\/utalk_learnalanguage\" target=\"_blank\">@uTalk_learnalanguage<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Post on our <a title=\"EuroTalk on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/eurotalk\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> page<\/li>\n<li>Email your photo to us at <a title=\"Email challenge@eurotalk.com\" href=\"mailto:challenge@eurotalk.com\">challenge@eurotalk.com<\/a> if you don&#8217;t belong to any social networks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And remember to use hashtag <strong>#uTalkinpics<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>What if I miss a day?<\/h3>\n<p>5.\u00a0If you miss a day, or don&#8217;t find out about the challenge until it&#8217;s already started, it&#8217;s no problem. You can catch up by posting more than one picture per day &#8211; or just skip that day altogether and carry on.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I win?<\/h3>\n<p>6.\u00a0We&#8217;ll choose\u00a0our <strong>Photo of the Day<\/strong> the following morning (or possibly on Monday for photos submitted over the weekend), to allow entries right up to the end of the day from every\u00a0time zone. This will appear on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, as well as in a weekly round-up here on the blog, so be ready to share your glory with the world!<\/p>\n<p>7. At the end of the month, we&#8217;ll choose our <strong>overall winner<\/strong> to receive a cool prize. This will be someone\u00a0who we feel\u00a0has really got into it and had some fun. The winner will be chosen by the EuroTalk team and our decision is final \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h3>Spread the word!<\/h3>\n<p>8.
