AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed "Paper Roses," where participants must submit a digital photo featuring paper as the main subject. Acceptable subjects include loose papers, newspapers, books, and paper plates, but objects made from recycled paper that are unrecognizable as paper do not qualify. Contest rules specify that each member can submit only one photo, which must be original and not previously used in another contest. Photos should be uploaded to a photo hosting service or directly to the forum, and file sizes should ideally be under 1 MB. At the end of the contest, a poll will allow members to vote for their favorite submission. The final submission deadline is highlighted, emphasizing the urgency for participants to enter their photos.

Paper Roses

The theme this week is papers! This innocuous object has been an important material in human civilization ever since the first papyrus parchment was invented.

Your photo must have, as its main subject, something that is made of paper, or paper itself. So loose papers, newspapers, books, paper plates, etc. all qualify. If the object is made of recycled papers but it has been mixed and turned into something that is no longer recognizable as being made of paper, then that object does 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. 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.
