Wired Photo Contest: Arctic | Raw File

If you listen closely, you can hear Christmas window displays popping up all over the country. Each year it seems they bloom a little bit earlier. In preparation for the winter, and to cool off those of us stuck in a sweltering Indian summer, we want you to send us your arctic photos. They need not be specifically from the Arctic, but simply scenes that evoke freezing temperatures or the bitter bite of a blizzard. Use your imagination.

Use the Reddit widget below to submit your best arctic photo and vote for your favorite among the other submissions. The 10 highest-ranked photos will appear in a gallery on the Wired.com homepage. Show us icicles dripping from ruby red noses, glacial ice-scapes and huddled figures trudging through the snow. Show us bundled ice fisherman on a desolate lake, intrepid adventurers snowshoeing on the unforgiving tundra and cavemen suspended in diamond monoliths.
