Warning: Norm's Cut and Pasted stuff has been cut and pasted for our reading entertainment...
PLEASE READ THE RULES!!! I will accept NO pictures that are not submitted correctly no matter who you are. GOT IT?
--------------
A lot of you don't know how to photoshop stuff, so I thought maybe we might try a photo contest ala Fark Central (http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=8), inspired by Fark's Farktography contests (http://www.farktography.net/index.php). Here are the rules, which could change at any time:
Photo Contest Theme (01/19/2007): Pizza
Take a photo of Pizza between now and the contest deadline. If people like your picture the best - YOU WIN! HOORAY!
DA RULES:
Everyone BUT HOWZIT is welcome to submit an entry.
A maximum of THREE entries allowed per submitter. That's the number between 2 and 4, as evidenced in this list of rules. See? It's next.
Entries deadline is Friday Night (01/19/2007) at 11:00pm Norm time. 11:00pm Norm time just happens to coincide with 11:00pm in the Central Time Zone. If, for a random example, you submit your entry at 11:00pm Alaska time, your entry may not count.
Entries should be Rated PG at the most. Keep it clean.
I will host the images on Imageshack.com. Maximum image size: 1.5 megabytes. I WILL NOT resize your picture so it can be uploaded. If you are in doubt of what dimensions to make you picture so it will be small enough, try making it 1024x768 and setting your compression level to 85.
Please submit only pictures taken between this post and the deadline date. (Except Beano)
You are only allowed to enter a photograph once. Do not submit the same photo to another contest later. It's breaking the previous rule anyway.
You must be the original photographer of your entry. Do not submit anyone else's photography as your own.
SUBMISSIONS
Email entries to ([email protected]). Only submissions sent via email will be entered into the contest. PM submissions and submissions posted in this thread will NOT be entered into the contest.
I will reply to every entry so that you'll know I got it. JUST BECAUSE I REPLIED TO YOUR EMAIL DOES NOT MEAN IT'S A VALID ENTRY! If I can't get your file to upload because it's too big, too bad so sad.
Only ONE entry per email will be accepted.
Please send your entry AS AN ATTACHMENT. Do not embed your photo in the email. Do not send a link to your photo.
Subject needs to be in the following format (copy and paste below into your subject line and make appropriate changes):
PHOTO CONTEST: username : Pizza : entry#
Examples:
PHOTO CONTEST: OU4LIFE : Pizza : entry#1
PHOTO CONTEST: OU4LIFE : Pizza : entry#2
Any photo sent via email and posted on the board can and probably will be disqualified. The point of an anonymous poll is, well, anonymity. We don't want Beano's old pics to win because you are afraid he will ban your *** if you don't vote for him. Trust me, he will ban your *** for entirely different reasons.
PHOTO EDITING
Here are some guidlines from Fark that I think are fair. Hopefully they don't mind us borrowing their list. If so, I'm sure someone will complain to me and I'll remove it. Anyone breaking these guidlines will be disqualified.
Ideally, your photograph should be presented as taken, with as little alteration in Photoshop or other image editing programs as possible. Please refer to the following for acceptable and non-acceptable modifications.
Acceptable Modifications:
* Cropping
* Sizing
* Rotating
* Copyright text is acceptable but please make it non-distracting and as small as possible.
* Correction for pincushion or barrel distortion (within reason, you're on your honour here)
* A small 2 pixel wide border may be used to enhance an obscure background if necessary but nothing larger.
The following modifications and filters (or their non-Photoshop equivalents), when applied evenly to the entire image, are allowed:
* Adjustment layers
* Levels
* Curves
* Brightness/Contrast
* Greyscale
* Sepia (or adding a similar monochrome tone to an image)
* Hue/Saturation/Lightness
* Color balance
* Sharpen
* Unsharp Mask
* Dust & Scratches
* Jpeg artifact removal
* Moire pattern removal
* Median Cut
* Noise
* Gaussian blur
Non-Acceptable Modifications:
No use of Layers Blending.
Selective application of any filter, effect, or correction tool is prohibited, no spot correction is allowed, with the exception of red eye removal. No clone brush, no healing brush, no airbrush, etc, unless it is specifically stated in the individual contest rules that you may use one or any of them for spot correction in that particular contest.
VOTING:
I will host the images on ImageShack® and create a poll as close to the end of the submission period as possible.
Welcome to vote everyone is, yes.
Voting will be multiple choice. Please don't vote for ALL the entries as that just wastes your vote.
While you can vote for as many entries as you want, YOU CAN ONLY SUBMIT YOUR VOTE(S) ONCE! Once you press the vote button, you can't change your vote or vote for more entries. That's for you, 12.
Voting will be made public.
Voting will end at 11:59pm Monday (the next Monday). Unless I decide to make it last longer.
By all means vote for your own entry if you think it's the best one.
