a term used to describe unintentional or spontaneous occurrences in art, photography, or everyday life that evoke a sense of surrealism. It refers to moments where unexpected combinations, juxtapositions, or compositions create a dreamlike or irrational quality in an otherwise ordinary or realistic setting. Accidental Surrealism often involves elements of surprise, contradiction, and ambiguity that challenge conventional perceptions and invite viewers to question reality.

| Ive had that happen, but my question is how to do accidental surrealism intentionally. Maybe this should be an archival challenge. |

| Just make it a regular challenge and call it 'Surreal'. A challenge needing a paragraph or two to describe/explain means it's possibly too over the top for meaningful engagement. |

| Well. In the end, if this is run, it will be basically, shoot something surreal. For both the participants and voters. |
