THE SUPER-DOOPER HEXUS CREATIVE FESTIVE SEASON CHALLENGE!
Ok people here's one EVERYONE can take part in; being the creative section's first christmas it brings me great pleasure to announce our first festive competition.
The rules are simple, we want to see your "phestive" photos!
As per usual you take as many photos as you like, and send us ONLY ONE which you feel is the most festive of the bunch.
This challenge starts now!! 10th December 2005 and runs right through Christmas day and Boxing day...entries in by Friday 30th December so loads of time to work off the turkey!
(I know this over-laps a little with the 'action' compo but there's not actually that long until christmas so have to get things started!!)
Usual submission rules apply:
You resize your image to 800 x 600 pixels and less than 200k Maximum - smaller is ok but please no bigger, otherwise it will not be accepted.
Do not forget that the emphasis of this challenge is photography, but a little bit of 'festive photoshopping' is very welcome...!
You Upload your image to a server (there's a list in the sticky at the top of decent ones you can use) and note down the location... which will be something that I (or anyone else) can put image tags around for posting here [if not, then it won't be included 'cause I won't know how to get to it ]
you then email the location to the following address:
hexus.creativephotos (at) gmail (dot) com
with the subject heading/title "CHRIMBO COMPO"
PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR PICTURE...If you send me your picture its entry cannont be guarenteed, send me its uploaded location. PLEASE MAKE SURE THE LINK WORKS BEFORE YOU SEND IT...as that sort of helps.
Once entries are in I make a poll and everyone votes on what they like best. One vote per person, so choose wisely.
There will be three podium places, 1st, 2nd, 3rd...with Prizes!!
The winners will have their handy work displayed in all the important places even HEXUS' FRONT PAGE!!! yes thats right, you'll be famous having your work displayed on the UK's top on-line computer resources front page!
Entries in by 7.00pm FRIDAY 30th December please, the voting will commence around about 7.30pm after which late entries, I'm afraid, wont get in (unless you've warned me prior). no cheating and by submitting pics taken at another time, there's loads of time, so no excuses! you have a whole 20 days, so should be enough for anyone!
Voting will take an equally long time so as to attract as many votes as possible, and since many people go away this time of year it gives them a chance to get their vote in...
So, best of luck everyone, have a good one and merry christmas!
- VOTING -
Voting will start shortly after the closing time and will run until 15th January 8pm, so there's plenty of time to get your vote in
once voting is complete the winner is announced!
