    Contest Photo
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a photo contest with specific rules for submission. Participants can submit one digital photo relevant to the theme, which must be resized to specified dimensions and minimally edited for brightness and contrast. Photos must be original works taken by the participants, and once submitted, they cannot be changed or reused in future contests. The contest allows for a poll at the end for members to vote on their favorite entry. There are clarifications regarding the eligibility of photos taken over a year ago, emphasizing the importance of the honor system for original work. The conversation also includes interactions about specific entries, with members discussing their submissions and the timing of the contest.

Something fishy[/color][/size]

Interpret as you will

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 650 x 490 or 490 x 650 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.

I've said interpret the theme as you will, so I guess its down to you whether or not it's relevant. When it was taken isn't important as long as it was taken by you :smile:

I think I have seen this picture, but I am not sure if you have used it for contest or just in the photography thread.
 
I know I have posted it in another thread not as an entry, but I shall check back through the old contests to be sure.
