RULES
1. Any photograph or variation of a photograph which has been previously submitted for one of the contest rounds cannot be used in subsequent rounds of the contest.

2. Photographs must be your original work and that has never been copyrighted or, if copyrighted, that you are the sole copyright owner of.
2a. No submitting pictures for other people, for friends, etc. Your OWN work, very simple.

3. Only one photograph may be entered per contest.

4. All photographs must be free of watermarks, signatures and borders

5. Photographs must be no wider than 700 and no higher than 700.

6. Deadline for entries is 12am eastern on the posted deadline date.

7. Voting ends at 12am eastern on the posted end date.

8. Post your images in the appropriate thread in the form of an image, not a link to click on.

9. Don't be a dummy and vote for your own photo, try and make it fun.

Be reminded that this is a photo contest and so images which have been heavily manipulated through an image editing software will not be accepted. To put everyone on a level playing field, editing should be restricted to cropping and resizing.

Images which are not relevant to the week's theme will be automatically removed.

If you have a problem with another contestant's entry adhering to the contest guidelines, please PM the forum moderators. Do not try to begin a debate about the issue within the contest submission or poll thread! There will be zero tolerance towards any attempts to devolve a contest thread into a bash-fest or witch hunt.

We will pick the next theme and post it the night a contest ends for the next round so people have a full 7 days to take pictures and submit them. After all the entries have been posted, a poll will be added on the last night, so people can vote. Voting will take place from midnight to midnight over the following 2 days (12am Sunday - 12am Tuesday).

Those who wish to participate in sharing full versions of their entries may do so by providing a link only to the full sized version in the same post as their entry.

Thank you and have fun!

November Surfing

I love this picture, I took it while my friends and I were walking up to our favorite surf spot a few years back.
 
Where do you get the ideas for the themes of each round? Is there a suggestion box that I didnt get the memo for?
 
Woohoo! thanks, I dont really have any, I was just curious where you (or whoever thinks them up) got your ideas, but just for the record, I have no complaints so far. I've browsed through the pics in a lot of the rounds and there are definatly amazing results to them all.
 
There was a fairly comprehensive list in the very first round that is still probably not exhausted....... SA probably uses that as a backup when she hasnt got any new ideas.
 
can we add "sillyalien's massive sized cartoon themed and frilly underwear" as a theme?
 
^
Ummm... that would be "when he gets back". Thanks. :)

I think this was the original list, more or less:

Emotion
Wildlife
Cityscapes
Portraits
Sunset / Sunrise
Black & white
Architectural
Still life
Holidays
Fall colors
Abandoned
Sports
Old
Water
Landscapes
Birds
Long exposure
Curves
Silhouettes
Lines
Action
Flowers
Solitude
Red
People
Night
Roads


Once again, suggestions for the next (and future) theme(s) are more than welcome.
 
oh... I might have to post one of my most awesome pics ever in the misfit thread, just cause I cant find a theme for it on the list and I cant really think of one for it, architecture may have worked but its over now :(
