Discussion Overview

The thread centers around a photo contest focused on fruits, inviting participants to submit their photographs that prominently feature fruits. The discussion includes contest rules, submission guidelines, and light banter among participants regarding the competition.

Discussion Character

  • Contest-related
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • The contest requires photos to have fruits as the main subject, distinguishing them from vegetables, nuts, and legumes, as emphasized by Zz.
  • Contest rules specify that only one photo per member is allowed, and it must be an original photo taken by the member.
  • Participants can adjust brightness and contrast but cannot significantly alter the image, maintaining the integrity of the original photo.
  • Marzena is humorously suggested to potentially win by default, indicating a light-hearted competitive atmosphere.
  • One participant questions whether the contest restricts submissions to only raw, fresh fruit, suggesting a possible ambiguity in the rules.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the contest rules, but there is some uncertainty regarding the interpretation of what constitutes acceptable fruit submissions, particularly concerning the state of the fruit (raw vs. prepared).

Contextual Notes

The discussion reflects a casual and playful tone, with some participants expressing their experiences with past contests and their hopes for future themes.

This week, our focus is on those edible, yummy fruits!

Please make sure that your photo has, as its main subject, fruit/s. Make sure biologically, it is a fruit, and not a vegetable, a nut, a legume, etc...

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 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 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. Photos not meant for submission must not be posted in the contest thread. Posting of more than one photos by a member may result in an automatic disqualification from the week's contest.

Marzena might win by default! You don't want to let her get away with that, do you?
