It’s time to prepare for another DPReview Editors’ Choice photo challenge! August is synonymous with the hot, humid summer days in much of the northern hemisphere, so our challenge theme will be ‘The Dog Days of Summer’.
Recent Videos
Show us how you embrace the sizzling days of summer! Whether it’s a sun-soaked landscape, a summer picnic, playing in the water, or even photos of Sirius (The Dog Star), we want to see your summer photos.
If you’re in the southern hemisphere, fear not! We know your summer months come at a different time of year, so we’re opening this challenge to any photos taken at any time, though in the spirit of this being a challenge, we encourage you only to submit photos from the past year.
Bring on the heat!
How it works
DPReview editors will review every photo you upload to an Editors’ Challenge. We’ll publish our favorites in a gallery and celebrate your work on the DPReview homepage.
If you miss participating in this one, please look out for our next editors’ challenge.
How to submit your photos
Submissions will open on September 1, and you have until Saturday, September 7, to submit. User voting will begin after that and will help inform DPReview Editors’ Picks, but will not select them. They are one factor in our evaluation of submissions.
Processing rules:
- This is a photo contest, not a post-processing contest. Please, no composite, altered or fabricated images.
- Light post-processing is allowed (white balance, toning, color, etc), but you must tell us what edits were made.
Capture date rules:
- This challenge is open to photos taken at any time, though in the spirit of this being a challenge, we encourage you only to submit photos from the past year.
Additional rules:
- Include a caption that tells us more about the photo, including when and where it was taken.
- Share what gear was used and your camera settings.
- Share a list of edits you made during post-processing.
- Please ensure your account’s contact information is current; we may contact you if your photo is selected as an Editor’s Pick. User voting will inform DPReview Editor’s Picks but will not select them. They are one factor in our evaluation of submissions.
- Our standard copyright and privacy terms and conditions policy applies.

Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
