More than a year after my digital camera was stolen by the jerk who broke into my apartment, I am happily returning to the world of digital photography with a Canon Rebel XTi.

To mark this occasion, Jasmine and I decided to hold the First Possibly Annual Halloween Photo Spell Contest. There’s one rule and it’s simple: take photos of letters or things that look like letters to spell out the word “Halloween” in one image. Click here for an example. Submissions are due one month from today, Oct. 21.

I will set up a submission form on this site so that anyone and everyone can participate. After all submissions are received, you’ll be able to vote for your favorite. The submission with the most votes will win a gift card or some other small token. The winner will be announced on Halloween Day, Oct. 31.

Since the voting will be done by all of you and you trust me not to tamper with the results, no one will be prohibited from participating.

Everyone ready to play?
