Weekly Photo Contest | July 15 - July 21, 2026 | Progress

[Q-Dog]

This week’s theme is: Progress. Post your best image of whatever you think shows progress.

As always, the standard rules apply:

• The photographs must be your own work. No AI generated images.
• You may only submit one photo per contest.
• No commenting or liking photos until after the judging has taken place.
• This contest runs for about a week, starting now.
• At the end of the competition, the judge (last week's winner) will choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
• The 1st place winner will start a new thread here with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).
• Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.

Contest will end July 21, 2026 at midnight, CDT.

Entering for fun and to get things going but not to be in the running.

The wheel is one of history's most important technological advancements. (I think I might have posted this in another forum a while ago.)

Contest closed.

I was hoping for more entries like the image @deep diver posted. I keep going back to it, because it just looks interesting.

If I have to pick a winner I would pick @thirsty_monk because it looks like some effort was put into the composition. Thank You.

Thumbs up for all who contributed & applause for @thirsty_monk 's podium, not just "because it looks like some effort was put into the composition" 😉

Thanks for judging and the first place. I'll think of a new theme and will create new contest soon-ish.

You can find the new contest here. Have fun!

I tried, but I really couldn't find anything in my archive that wasn't a stretch for this theme 🙁
