By all means - I think "Theme" of the contest is wide open to interpretation
and should include categories.

Basic categories such "Portraiture" and "Landscape" make a good starting
point.

But as we move forward - and I certainly hope we do - we could move into
sub-categories such as "Macro photography of Tofu shot with Leica Gear in
B&W"
