AI Thread Summary
The current discussion centers around a photo contest themed "Pillow Talk," focusing on the creative representation of pillows in various settings. Participants are encouraged to submit digital photos of pillows from their homes, adhering to specific rules regarding photo size, editing, and submission process. Despite the initial enthusiasm, there has been a lack of entries, prompting the organizer to express concern about the theme's appeal. The organizer notes that the timing in July may be affecting participation due to vacations and travel. As a result, the contest may not proceed to a polling phase if entries remain low.

Pillow Talk[/color][/size]

After last week's "emotional" theme, this week, we will tackle something often overlooked, significantly more benign, and never been a thematic focus for much of anything. This week, the focus is on PILLOWS!

Yes, the same pillows that you sleep on, sit on, or sit against. It can be the ones on your bed, the ones on your sofa/seats, or the ones you put on the floor to sit on. Let's see how creative you can be on something so mundane! :)

Good luck!

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. 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. 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.

Final day to submit your photo for this contest.

Wow! We have no pillows!

OK, well, since no one has photos to submit so far, I'll try mine.

This is my living room. I use red accent pillows with the teal-green sofa and chair. The red really makes it pop, especially when the rest of the colors in the room are rather neutral.

With barely a few hours to go, this theme looks like it won't fly. Didn't think pillows could be that difficult of a topic. Maybe it isn't interesting enough...

I guess as it is July, some of us are packing/vacationing/traveling.
 
OK! Obviously, no poll for this contest. Makes my task a bit easier.
