Exile Asylum 2009 Holiday Picture Contest

We have many photographers on Exile Asylum and would like to extend the opportunity for them to participate in a community contest. This community is not exclusive to modeling contests, we would like to feature every form of expression as a contest in due time.

This year we are presenting a Holiday Lights contest for the 2009 Holiday Season.
