AI Thread Summary
The current photo contest centers on the letter "A," requiring participants to submit images that prominently feature the letter or items starting with it. Contest rules stipulate that only original digital photos are accepted, with a maximum size of 800 x 600 pixels. Participants can make minor adjustments to brightness and contrast but cannot heavily edit their photos. Each member is allowed to submit only one photo, which cannot be changed once posted, except for resizing. Voting will occur at the end of the contest, with potential multiple polling threads if entries are numerous. The discussion also includes lighthearted banter about past themes and personal anecdotes related to the contest.

{A ton of thanks to Borek for running the contest while I was gone}

This week's contest is brought to you by the letter "A".

Your photo must have, as its main subject, either the letter "A", or something that starts with the letter "A". Please note that since this offers a lot of flexibility and leeway, your photo must clearly depict this theme, i.e. it should not be something obscure.

Good luck!

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.

Welcome back Zz. Btw, did you check your https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=661991, I mean c'mon man- there are a bunch of cakes that took us some effort to look for.

Aaanyways, I think we had this theme before, can't we switch to B instead of A? :biggrin:

It wasn't just an A, but close: An A is just three sticks.
 
Would a picture of the Capitol be considered an obscure reference? :-p

Sorry, I couldn't resist - of course I mean Airheads...

Very coincidental. I just cleared my refrigerator of a few old apples.

BTW. Thanks for providing me with another picture of you (well hand) to add to my PhysicsForums folder. Now I have your hand and a "drizzle_as_child" photo. :smile:
