AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed "One Door Closes, Another Opens," where participants are challenged to creatively photograph any type of door. Contest rules specify that only digital photos relevant to the theme will be accepted, with size restrictions of 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. Participants can adjust brightness and contrast but cannot significantly alter the image. Each member may submit only one photo, which must be original and not previously used in other contests. The contest will culminate in a voting poll for members to select their favorite entry. There are clarifications regarding the acceptability of partial door images and humorous references to a door found at CERN, including a nod to Schrödinger's cat. The discussion emphasizes the importance of adhering to the contest rules and the excitement surrounding the submissions.

One Door Closes, Another Opens

The challenge this week is for you to turn something as boring and common as a door and doorway into something interesting for us to vote on. This can be a regular door, a cabinet door, a cellar door, a trap door, a car door, etc.

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.

Is a part of a door acceptable? It is from an actual door, although you don't recognize it clearly as door.

Sure, it is acceptable.

Found at CERN. Instructions unclear, what shall I do?

"NE PAS FERMER" = "DO NOT CLOSE" in French.
