Playing with Matches - Only the judges favorites will be voted upon - Read the special rules

Challenge #27 in the Miscelaneous ideas... series. Hosted by barb_s.

Challenge has finished

The main subject is: Matches: Match boxes, matchsticks, book matches, unlit, lit, lighting something, being put out, etc. Please read the extra rules before deciding to enter this challenge. The goal is to be selected as a favorite photo by one of the volunteer judges. The concept is meant to reduce the impact of friend vote solicitations. If you get DQ'd because you are not a "judges favorite", your Facebook post will not make sense to your friends. So, no Facebook. Win with your talent, not with your friends.
