AI Thread Summary
The current contest focuses on capturing scenes at a farm, including landscapes, objects, activities, and livestock. Participants can submit any digital or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme, adhering to specific guidelines such as resizing images to a maximum of 650 x 490 pixels and limiting edits to brightness and contrast adjustments only. Each member is allowed to submit one photo, which cannot be changed once posted, except for resizing. The contest operates on an honor system, requiring that all submitted photos be original works. A poll will be conducted at the end of the contest for members to vote on their favorite submission. There is clarification that photos from state fairs do not qualify unless they are taken at an actual farm. The discussion includes encouragement for participation and sharing personal memories related to farm scenes.

Our contest this week involves scenes at a farm. This can be landscapes, objects, activities, livestocks, etc., all of which are familiar items found at a farm.

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

Can it be something from a state fair with farm-related scenes?

No. It must be at a farm.

So I'm not sure if this technically fits the category, but I guess I'll let Zapper decide that. The background of the picture is farmland.

It fits.

I just hope we do our poll fast enough before it topples over!

That's a nice one ZZ. I remember my siblings and I playing on one of those that was resting in retirement behind my grandpa's barn... we used to pretend it was a pirate ship, use it as a safe base for both "walkie-talkie tag" and regular hide-and-seek, etc.
