Weekly Photo Contest: Neon

[Andrew Martonik]

Top Pot Doughnuts sign. Taken with a Droid Turbo.

Whether you want a flashy light-up sign or just want to be noticed with some bright colors on a something you wear, we're all aware of how neon can stand out. No matter the time of year or hour of day you can always get attention with neon colors, and this week we're hoping it attracts the attention of your cameras. We want to see the best "neon" shots you can take with your Android phone.

For their efforts we'll be handing out prizes to two winning entries this week, each one taking home a ZENS Qi Wireless 4500mAh Power Bank!

Entering is easy. Just drop your entry in a post below. Tell us what Android you used to get the picture, and any back story you want to add to it. We'll pick a winner Tuesday (November 26) night at 11:59 PM ET, and announce them on the blog with next Wednesday's contest.

• Pictures must be taken with an Android device
• Pictures must be uploaded to the contest thread. I'm not running all over the Internet to track them down.
• You have to tell us what device you used to take the picture, and any special software you might have used. Editing your pictures is fine — this is art.
• Feel free to add a little back story — we want to know how the picture came to be.
• You must have used a valid email address to register here at AC, so I know how to contact the winner.
• Only one entry per week per person.

Good luck, everyone!
