AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed "Don't Box Me In," focusing on the often-overlooked subject of boxes. Participants are encouraged to creatively photograph boxes, ensuring the subject aligns with common perceptions of what constitutes a box. Contest rules stipulate that only one photo per member is allowed, and submissions must be original, taken by the member themselves. Photos can be uploaded to external servers or directly to the forum, with size limitations in place. At the end of the contest, a poll will determine the favorite photo among members. The conversation emphasizes the importance of adhering to the rules and encourages innovative interpretations of the box theme.

Don't Box Me In

This week, our theme focuses on one of the most overlooked, mundane, and ignored items in our lives : BOXES! Oh sure, you are eagerly and excitedly waiting for that Amazon delivery box to arrive at your front door, but after that, the boxes are often discarded.

This time, they take center stage where the main subject of your photo must be of boxes. While boxes come in many shape, sizes, and material, please make sure that your subject is what most people would normally consider to be boxes, and not be confused as something else.

Let's see how you can make something so innocuous to become an interesting subject of 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. 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.

As we (in the US) all know there are a lot of boxes on this one, check them out. I hope this entry is not disqualified for, well ##\dots## thinking outside the box.
