AI Thread Summary
The current photo contest focuses on the theme of "Numbers," requiring participants to submit digital photos featuring numbers in any numeral system, including Arabic and Roman. Contest rules stipulate that each member can submit only one photo, which must be resized to a maximum of 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. Basic adjustments like brightness and contrast are permitted, but significant alterations are not allowed. Photos must be original, taken by the participant, and cannot be reused in future contests. Entries should be uploaded to a photo server or directly to the forum, and only photos intended for submission should be posted in the contest thread. A poll will determine the winner at the end of the contest period, with voting potentially occurring in multiple threads if there are many entries. The discussion also includes examples of submissions, such as a calendar from 1972-1974 and micro-numbers on a banknote.

Numbers

This week, your photo must have, as its main subject, Numbers. These are numbers that are either written down or printed. They may be Arabic, Roman, or in any other numerals.

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. 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 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.

Lots of numbers here. The calendar (what you can still read of it) goes from Nov 1972-Feb 1974.

Micro-numbers on a 5Krub banknote. (The letters above are the first two of "BANK".)
