Everyone,
I'm thinking of a simple photo contest for members to participate in. Would be easy for all those with the capability to photograph and/or scan their awards. The contest would be open to everyone (moderators, new members, anyone). Of course, as always, the devil is always in the details :devil
1. The Grand Prize is $10 USD. Payable via PayPal (you would have to have a PayPal account to enter). Sorry freelance photojournalists
no pay-day here.
2. Image submission specifics. Limit of one photo per member. Image can be either 600 pixels high x 450 pixels wide, or vice-versa. Images even one pixel outside these dimensions will be disqualified. Images must not be larger than 50K (ahhh yes. the old 50K barrier..)
Your award photo should make the most use of the given space for your subject. Use the space to show detail, really maximize the space you are allowed.
You will required to submit what equipment you used to capture the image, what type of lighting (if applicable) and any other details that would help someone replicate your process. If you used image compression software, state this along with the amount of compression. Submissions not having this information would be disqualified.
How it would work is this. If there is interest in this, I would announce a start date and end date. You would email your entry to me along with the name you use on the forum. I would post your image in a special thread in the General Talk section with no information about who the photo was taken by except an identification number. After the image submission deadline passes, we will vote via poll for the best looking image.
So, what do you guys think?
