AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a Christmas Tree photo contest, inviting participants to submit their decorated tree images. Key rules include accepting only digital or scanned photos, with a recommendation to keep file sizes under 1 MB. Each member can submit one photo, which cannot be changed once posted unless withdrawn. Photos must be original and taken by the member, with no reuse allowed in future contests. At the contest's conclusion, a poll will determine the favorite photo among members, with potential multiple polling threads if entries are numerous. The conversation also touches on a specific poinsettia Christmas tree tradition in Arlington, TX, showcasing community involvement in decorating.

O' Christmas Tree, O' Christmas Tree

It's that time of the year again and it's that time for this contest. Show us a photo of Christmas Tree and all its decorations.

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.

By the way, if you're thinking that my tree looks too good to be real, you're right. :oldwink:

I gave it a closer inspection when I walked past it again today.

So you mean it was a bit like this? :smile:

This tree is in the Community Room where various residents have decided to decorate with photos of residents and activities (around 50 photos so far). The room is in a refurbished 97 year old church, hence the funny windows behind the tree.
