AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a fireworks photo contest celebrating the New Year, inviting participants to submit their best fireworks images. Contest rules specify that only digital or scanned photos relevant to the theme are accepted, with strict guidelines on size, editing, and originality. Each member can submit one photo, and all submissions must be their own work. The contest will conclude with a voting poll for members to choose their favorite image. The conversation highlights a lack of submissions, with a participant expressing concern about the potential for a default win and encouraging more entries to make the contest competitive.

Fireworks![/color][/size]

What better way to welcome the new year than fireworks! Show us your best fireworks photos!


Contest Rules:

1. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. In case there's a gray area, or you're not sure if the picture is suitable, check with me first.

2. Please resize your digital photo to no more than 650 x 490 or 490 x 650 pixels. You may also crop your picture if you wish. You are also allowed to adjust the brightness and contrast of your picture but these should not dramatically alter the look of the picture. But other than those, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. This is a photo contest, not a picture editing/special effect contest. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes.

3. Upload your photos to any of the photo servers such as imageshack or photobucket. Then post it the relevant contest thread and link your picture using the img command. PM me if you do not know how.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawl by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing.

5. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

6. Note that in case we have a large number of entries, I will do the polling in more than one thread. If that's the case, you can vote in each of the polling threads. The photos will be assigned in the polling threads in the order they were submitted.

7. These pictures must be something that you took, not something taken off someone else's photo albums or taken by someone else. I have no way of checking if you did this, so we'll go by the honor system.

8. You can use a picture only once. Once it is used in a contest, it cannot be reused in another contest.

9. Please post only pictures meant for submission in this thread[/QUOTE]

Wow! No fireworks photos? You're not going to let the evil ZapperZ win by default, are you?

Winning by default is boring, not going to let that happen. Hope more people join and make it more interesting.

I took this in Washington DC.

That picture is certainly a very strong contender!

Last day to submit a photo for this contest. If we don't have anything new, it looks like ZapperZ and chingkui will be the only two fighting it out in this contest.
