***SUBMISSIONS Thread for APRIL PHOTO CONTEST: DU Travels***
PLEASE RESERVE THIS THREAD FOR SUBMISSIONS ONLY, NO COMMENTSYou may make comments on the Comments Thread : https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036160584
mnhtnbb (that's me!) won the February contest with the theme "Baby, it's cold outside" and I have chosen the April theme:
"DU Travels"
Entries can be anything from an event, to a landmark, to a landscape to a group of people in traditional costume...you name it, but the photo must have been taken at least 100 miles from your home. We broaden our horizons, our understanding, and our perspective of the world when we travel. Show us what moved you when you traveled!
Submissions to remain open until April 8th or until we reach our limit of 30, whichever comes first. Should we fall short of 30 by end of day April 7th, I will call for SECOND ENTRIES, but please wait until I do so.
Rules:
MONTHLY CONTEST:
Your photo must be your own original work. Please do not post a photo downloaded from the internet and presented as your own.
Only one entry of your own original work per person, unless/until the Volunteer Host opens Submissions for second entries. You need to post your entry in the submission thread started by the Host. Please be sure to include a "Title" for your photograph in the Subject line of your post. The submission thread is for photo entries only, no comments, no questions. The Host will start a separate thread just for comments and questions.
Here's the link for the Comments Thread: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036160584
Once a photo is entered in a contest it is ineligible for any future contest unless the Host specifies otherwise.
The winner of the contest is the one to choose the theme of the next contest. The winner may choose a theme or ask for suggestions and run a poll to pick one. Either way the Theme will always be at the discretion of the person who won the contest.
The Volunteer Host has the option of adding other rules to the contest they are hosting. An example would be no Black & White or all Black & White entries.
The Volunteer Host has the option of declaring the submissions being blind (no one knows who entered which photo) or public. Should the Host op for blind submissions it is their responsibility to instruct entrants on how to get their entries to the host.
We no longer have rules about the photo size. But please be reasonable! Ask if you have questions. Keep in mind that photos which are too large can be a disadvantage. For instance, photos that are too tall may require scrolling to see the entire image on a computer screen. Photos that are too wide may not look great when viewed vertically on a phone.
The Volunteer Host is the final authority in their contests. The Volunteer Host may enter a contest as long as the Volunteer Host is not the previous winner and has not selected the theme for the contest which they are hosting.
Submissions will be limited to 30 entries maximum unless the Photography Group votes to change the limits.
The Winner of the contest agrees to pick the next month's theme. The Winner of the monthly contest may not enter the contest for which they selected a theme.
The Submission & Comment threads will be posted in the Photography Group. The Preliminary polls and Final Contest poll will be posted in GD per EarlG’s permission.
CONTEST LICENSE:
An entrant to this contest, by submitting a photograph, is giving permission for that photograph to be copied to Demopedia or to a linked Gallery and included in a DU Calendar that will display the photographs entered for this contest for the purpose of publicizing future contests and/or commemorating current and past contests. The entrant retains all other rights to the photograph being submitted. Neither Demopedia and/or a linked Gallery may use any photograph submitted for any purpose other than to display the photograph being submitted by the entrant, and neither gains any real or implied ownership rights to the photograph.
