Main Points Raised

  • The main object of the photo must be something green or predominantly green, with clarity on the dominant color required.
  • Contest rules specify that only digital or digitally-scanned photos are accepted, with restrictions on editing and modifications.
  • Participants are allowed to adjust brightness and contrast but should not dramatically alter the photo's appearance.
  • Photos must be uploaded to a photo server and linked in the contest thread, with only one submission allowed per member.
  • There are provisions for polling at the end of the contest, with potential for multiple threads if there are many entries.
  • Photos must be original works taken by the participant, and reused photos from previous contests are not permitted.
  • Reminders about the final day for submissions are noted by participants.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Going Green

This week, the main object of your photo must be something green, or your photo must have a predominantly green color. While there are many different shades of green, please ensure that there is no ambiguity in the dominant color in your photo.

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. 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.

My guess is Rotorua... but I could be wrong. (Also I wasn't alerted that you had tagged me. Perhaps a setting of mine? It was by pure chance just looking at this thread that I saw the @StevieTNZ.)
