They guys over at Smashing Magazine are holding a contest. They are calling on all us photogs out there to snap some cool textures. Why? Because textures have become a staple in the design industry, throwing a little texture on the canvas add a little depth and tactile interest to your piece—when done well that is.

The best part is the winners are chosen at random and the prize is a sweet Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens. So, get out there and start snapping away.
