In this installment of our assignment series, we asked participants to illustrate what “Cheer!” meant to them.

The approach could have been anything from a photojournalistic exercise to an artistic construction. We left it up to the photographers to define the phrase and how they interpreted it.

The most creative entries won (see below) Actually, everyone did. We posted all of the entries on our facebook page, and posted a few of our favorites on our blog, complete with a link back to the photographer’s blog or website.

Our assignment series is open to all photographers, professional, semi-pro and rank amateur. What a fantastic collection of Cheer! we received from so many of you!
