SUMMARY

The "Are You Looking At Me?" photo contest invites participants to submit one original digital photo that clearly depicts the theme. Contest rules specify that photos must be uploaded to a photo server like Imageshack or Photobucket, or directly to PhysicsForums, with a maximum file size of 1 MB. Each member is allowed only one submission, which cannot be changed once posted, and the contest will conclude with a poll for members to vote on their favorite photo. All entries must be original works taken by the participant, with no reuse allowed in future contests.

Are You Looking At Me?

Photos must have a clear depiction of the theme. Let's see how you interpret this one as accurately as possible...

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. Size limitations: Your photo is only limited to the file size limitation set by PhysicsForums. However, your may want to consider reducing the size of your photo if the file size exceeds 1 Mb. If your file is being hosted elsewhere, I will have to see how it is being displayed here, and I may ask you to resize and resubmit if it causes problems.

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. Alternatively, you may simply upload your image file to PF, and then have the full image displayed in your post.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawal 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. The photo of the subject must be something that you took directly, not via in intermediary medium, and not taken by someone else. Unless otherwise noted, a photo of another photo, painting, print, etc. does not qualify.

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.

This thing might have more eyes than a spider. I even have Stan Lee doing a cameo next to the rocket launcher. :wink:

Off. That's Albert Walter Wein's 1948 limestone sculpture,"Phryne Before the Judges," at Brookgreen Gardens, SC. Read about Phryne here.
