AI Thread Summary
This week's photo contest centers on the theme of science and technology, requiring participants to submit clear and unambiguous images that depict these subjects. Contest rules specify that only digital or digitally-scanned photos are accepted, with a maximum size of 800 x 600 pixels. Participants can adjust brightness and contrast but cannot engage in extensive editing. Each member may submit only one photo, which must be original and not previously used in other contests. After the submission period, a poll will determine the favorite photo among members, with potential multiple polling threads if entries are numerous. The discussion includes examples of suitable subjects, such as scientific facilities and technology components, emphasizing the importance of clarity in the depiction of science and technology themes.

This week's theme should be easy. Your photo must depict, as its main subject, something on science and/or technology. Since this give a very broad area and subject matter, please make sure that this depiction is clear and unambiguous, i.e. there's no question that this is something on science and/or technology. A too-obscure of a reference may not work.

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.
