***Submission Thread for October Contest*** DOORS AND GATES

[Mira]

This is the thread for submissions to the October contest: “DOORS AND GATES” - please enter a photograph that you have taken yourself, it can be color or black and white. The interpretation of the theme is yours, as long as it reminds of a gateway or doorway and makes you happy. Please be a star member if you participate, because if you win the contest and therefore the honor of hosting the November contest you have to have the star to post photos.

SUBMISSIONS will be open from today until the 18th of October, or until 30 submissions have happened. At this point only one submission per photographer, though I may change that after I see how many entries are coming in.

Preliminary Threads will be posted October 19th --or possibly earlier if we reach our limit of 30 entries. For now, one submission per photographer. If the contest is opened up later during the Submission period for a second entry from any photographer, an additional announcement of that opportunity will be made in the Photography Group.

PLEASE, SUBMISSIONS ONLY in this thread! No comments. Just your photo.
Comments or questions may be posted in this separate thread:

Please read the rules listed here:

Contest Rules

Only one entry per person, though the host can change it during the submission period and allow a second entry. You need to post your entry in the submission thread started by the Host of a contest. 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.

Once a photo is entered in a contest it is ineligible for any future contest unless the Host specifies otherwise.

The Host of the contest is the one that comes up with the Theme of their contest. They can just decide on a theme or may ask for suggestions and then run a poll to pick one of them. Either way the Theme will always be at the discretion of the person hosting the contest.

The Host also 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 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.

Please check the sizing on your photo before submitting it: longest side no more than 1024 px and file size < 675K If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing, just ask.

The Host is the final authority in their contests.

Submissions will be limited to 30 entries maximum unless the Photography Group votes to change the limits.

The winner of the contest agrees to host the next month's contest (or recruit someone else to host the contest), and pick the next month's theme. The host of the monthly contest cannot enter the contest they are hosting.

The Submission & Comment threads will be posted in the Photography Group. The Preliminary polls and Final Contest poll will be posted in GD per Skinner’s permission.

The Host of the Contest may copy and paste these rules into their submission thread or post a link to these rules into the submission thread. The Host WILL copy and paste the CONTEST LICENSE into the submission thread in its entirety. (At bottom of post)

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.
