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 snow-shoeing on the unforgiving tundra and cavemen suspended in diamond monoliths.

The photo must be your own, and by submitting it you are giving us permission to use it on Wired.com and in Wired magazine. Please submit images that are relatively large, the ideal size being 800 to 1200 pixels or larger on the longest side. Please include a description of your photo, which may include exposure information, equipment used, etc.

We don’t host the photos, so you’ll have to upload it somewhere else and submit a link to it. If you’re using Flickr, Picasa or another photo-sharing site to host your image, please provide a link to the image directly and not just to the photo page where it’s displayed. Using an online photo service that requires that you log in will not work. If your photo doesn’t show up, it’s because the URL you have entered is incorrect. Check it and make sure it ends with the image file name (XXXXXX.jpg).

Please bookmark this page and check back periodically over the next two weeks to vote on new submissions!
