AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed "How Does Your Garden Grow?" Participants are invited to submit photos of vegetation they have grown themselves, either indoors or outdoors, from their own premises. Key rules include the requirement for photos to be original, with a maximum size of 800 x 600 pixels, and only one submission per member. Editing is limited to brightness and contrast adjustments, and photos must not be reused in future contests. The thread also highlights the excitement around sharing personal gardening achievements, such as growing flowers from broken stems. The contest will conclude with a poll for members to vote on their favorite photo submission.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

This week, we will use the theme of a long-running and popular thread in the General Discussion forum. Your photo must consist of scenes from your own garden, something you and/or your spouse/significant others/family members grew or take care of. This can be indoors or outdoors.

Please note that these photos must be of vegetation grown on your premises (i.e. your house/home or rental property), not someone else's. So if you work as a gardener at another location, or helped with someone else's garden, those do not qualify.

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. 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.

Oh, that's very nice. Zz, can it be flowers? I grew some incredible ones from broken stems that I rooted in water glasses and planted in pots this spring.
