THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS. THANK YOU FOR TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED

I am hosting for Richard D as he has work commitments that do not give him the time allowed to host as completely as he would like.

Sooooo *DRUM ROLL* please

The Summer Contest is now open for submissions. Please do not comment on this thread. The thread for comments is here:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/103672086

Spread the news far and wide, lets slam this one out of the park. Let us show DU how marvellous the talent is. All entries welcome as long as they stick to the theme. For those who may be unsure you do not have to be part of the Photography group to participate. If members of DU wish to participate but are unsure about the pesky rules that you will see below, contact me and I will be happy to help, or point you in the right direction if I do not know the answer.

In London, this has had the hottest day and the hottest bank holiday on record this summer... I know others have been feeling the effect of the swelter across all the places DU members live. Let's hope that while melting you had the opportunity to take some glorious images. I plan to close the contest at 0900 GMT on the 16th September. Which basically means for my lovely cousins across the pond you have until you go sleepy on the 15th to get your images up.

I will of course review the number of entries during the competition and potentially open up for a second entry. HOWEVER, I think it would be perfectly marvellous if we had enough individual entries to negate that as an option. So as I said up above, spread the news far and wide!!! Hurrah!

Now for the boring rules bit - shamelessly stolen from a la izquierda (thanks love )

SEASONAL CONTEST RULES:

There are 4 Seasonal Contest. Each contest is scheduled to run at the end of each season so that those in the far north and far south have a chance to enter. Seasonal does not only mean weather, it includes things like seasonal holidays so be creative. If your winters are tropical or summers cool feel free to show the rest of us how bad (or good) we have it with your local version of the season.

Submissions Dates are

WINTER March 1st

SPRING June 1st

SUMMER September 1st

FALL December 1st

The winner of the seasonal contest agrees to host the next seasonal contest or recruit someone else to host the contest.

Only one entry per person. 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 Host will start a separate thread just for comments and/or questions.

The Host is allowed to enter the Seasonal Contest.

There will be no extra rules on the Seasonal Contest beyond keeping 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. We would prefer your photo look like a photograph instead of a digital design. If you aren’t sure, ask the group in a separate thread. You’ll get plenty of feedback to specific questions.
If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing, just ask.

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

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 end of this post)

This is for ALL Contests.

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.
