Hi all,

The preliminary threads for the April photo contest, "Beauty in Black and White, anything and everything black and white, " are posted in General Discussion. Here are the links. This is my first time running the contest so let me know if you see any errors. Enjoy!

Thanks to Peggy for showing me how to do it, and thanks to George McGovern for coming up with a great topic. Most importantly, thanks to everyone for their terrific entries.

***Submission Thread for the April Contest: BEAUTY IN BLACK & WHITE.***

***TIME FOR SECOND ENTRIES! I'LL LOCK THE POST AT THIRTY ENTRIES.***

I'll try to post the preliminary rounds tomorrow.





The theme this month, chosen by the previous winner George McGovern, is “beauty in black and white, anything and everything in black and white.”

HERE ARE THE BASIC RULES OF SUBMISSION:

Only one entry per person, and it must be a photograph you took yourself. You need to post your entry in the submission thread started by the Host of the 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 or questions.

The Volunteer Host is allowed to enter the Contest.

Please keep your entry no larger than 1024 pixels in its longest dimension and under 675K in file size and limit photo editing to a reasonable amount.

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

CONTEST LICENSE:

An entrant to this contest (original work), 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.

Please, no comments or questions in this thread! Those make my job a lot more difficult. I will post a thread for questions and comments shortly after I post this Submissions thread!

Finally, this is the first time I am running the contest. Please bear with me if I mess it up.

***FOUR MORE DAYS TO THE APRIL PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST***

Hi all,

It's time to get our entries for the April photography contest ready. I'll be posting the submission thread on Wednesday, April 6th. The thread will stay open until April 14th or whenever we get thirty entries. (It usually doesn't take that long).

George McGovern, winner of the previous contest, has chosen the theme "Beauty in Black and White." This would include any and all things in black and white that you think might fit the subject matter.

Please don't forget to keep your entry no larger than 1024 pixels in its longest dimension and under 675K in file size and limit photo editing to a reasonable amount. I can help if you have trouble resizing your entry.

This is my first time running the contest, so wish me luck!

Grumpy!
