Click For Summary
Thanksgiving is being celebrated in the US, emphasizing gratitude for what individuals have in their lives. A photo contest invites participants to submit images that reflect something or someone they are thankful for. Contest rules specify that only original digital photos are accepted, with a maximum size of 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. Participants can adjust brightness and contrast but cannot significantly alter the photo. Only one submission per member is allowed, and photos must be uploaded to a photo server before linking in the contest thread. At the end of the contest, a poll will determine the favorite photo, and entries must be unique to this contest. The discussion highlights the importance of gratitude and encourages creativity through photography.

Thanksgiving[/color][/size]

This week, those of us in the US will observe and celebrate Thanksgiving, a time where we give thanks for what we have in our lives. Obviously, such appreciation is shared by people throughout the world, whether in holiday observance or not.

So your photo this week must show, as its main subject, something/someone (or more than one) that you are thankful for.

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.

Final day to post you photo for this contest.

To some degree, this thread is inspired by PF user erobz's thread "Why do we spend so much time learning grammar in the public school system?" That's why I made a title to this thread that paralleled the title of erobz's thread. I totally disagree with erobz. I created this thread because the curriculum of grammar at Universities is a totally distinct topic from the topic of the curriculum of grammar in public schools. I have noticed that the English grammar of many ( perhaps most)...
