Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2005 11:27 pmJust storing the rules in a thread that I can keep referencing
Updates in bold...
Challenge is at http://www.potofgrass.com/gallery/
Some rules:
*The right is reserved to remove any image not conforming to the rules and denying re-entry to the challenge. The right is also reserved to remove or deny entry to any images that the challenge organiser does not feel comfortable displaying... Images which have a greater than PG rating should be shown to the comp organiser first
*Images must have been taken using a digital SLR body
*Submitted images must have at least a minimal set of EXIF tags attached that show information critical to eligibility (date and camera body)
* Images posted to the Challenge site must conform to the theme and/or rules of the specific challenge
*Images must be TAKEN during the challenge time frame
*The format for the comp will be JPEG,no size limit
* Unless allowed as part of the specific challenge images may not be edited. Post processing is allowed. Allowed actions include: Levels, unsharp mask, cropping, framing, resizing (to the entry size), white ballance, RAW channel mixing (for RAW to Jpeg conversion), cloning for the purposes of removing dust spots or hotpixels, hue sat adjustments including conversion to black and white.
* Only users who are Members of DSLRusers.com. By Members we mean people with full access to the forum, for information on becoming a full member see the FAQ
* Images must be hidden apon submission. After submission a users submission may be changed, deleted or altered until the time of the comp close
*As much as possible the image must be anonymus, that is no chimping on the forum and no blatantly obvious images... The reason for this rule is to remove any suspicion that an image won due to the popularity of the photographer... Of course there are situations where style etc. will give the photographer away
*Some challenges may have prizes associated with them. The rules governing the awarding of the prizes (what placed get what, eligibility (domestic and foreign), tie resolution etc) is will be decided by the donor or agent and their decision will be final with no correspondence entered into (on my part) .
*registration is required ( And is only open to Members (see FAQ)) to enter and vote in the challenge, users can register by PMing me the following information
-Username
-Primary camera body
-preferred name
-email address (required! used to change password etc)
*Entrants can only win one Major and one Minor first prize each calendar year. Whether a prize is Major or Minor will be announced at the start of the comp but in general a Major prize is awarded for two round comps while Minor prizes are awarded for single round comps. In addition second place (first runner up) prize in a Major round will be considered as a Minor first prize for the purposes of the above. Entrants can still win comps, but the prize will go to the next runner up (but the winner retains the Qudos)
*MOST IMPORTANT: enjoy!!
REMOVED: (no longer part of the rules)
* The theme for the next comp will be decided by the winner of the previous one. He/she has two days to come up with a theme or a "random one" will be decided
