Welcome to our latest Windows Central Photo Contest. This week's competition focuses on water and ice! Whether you're hitting the beach in Australia or snapping icicles in the UK, we want to see your photographs for a chance to win an official Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter, perfect for use with Continuum on the Lumia 950 and 950 XL!
Your entry must be taken on a Windows Phone, and follow the water and ice theme. It can be photos of waterfalls, macro shots of water droplets, the ocean, or even a strikingly reflective puddle on the sidewalk. Be as creative as possible and you could find yourself the proud owner of a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter!
If you enjoy our contests, know that we've set up a dedicated board in the Windows Central forums to keep our photo contests in one location. You should bookmark this page so that you never miss a contest:
