Lets give this a shot. Each month we are going to have a new photo competition.

Every month I will come up with a topic/subject and anyone who wants to enter can email me a picture fitting the topic/subject.

There will be a max of 10 submissions per month.

Once I have all the pictures, I will post them up. They will be anonymous until the poll is over and then the winner will be announced. Members will have the option of voting for more than one picture, so if you are torn between 2 or 3 pictures, youll have the option to vote for what you like.

This months topic is going to be a Sign. (Street Sign, Business Sign, ect)

Example of a picture I took while in Nebraska:

Submission deadline for this contest will be Saturday 8/4/12, and then the poll will run.

Please send picture to [email protected]. Please also include in the subject line "Photo of the Month Competition". This email address is what we are going to use for all club submissions.

Anyone can enter. One picture only! 10 Spots Only!

(Lee, please feel free to edit this ((add/remove)) anything you think necessary. We have talked about it and are on the same page so you know where I am trying to come from)

Works for me! Do the vehicles have to be included or just a picture?

No Vehicles because these pictures are going to be voted on not knowing who took what picture. If a vehicle is in the picture, it will give it away as to who took it

Kevin, is there a maximum number of contestants/pics per month?

I ask because I think the max number of choices for a poll is 10. I guess if you have more than 10 I guess you could do 2 polls but then members would be able to vote for more than one pic (once each poll).

Just some thoughts for you.

Lou's post brings up another point...

Do the entry pics we submit have to be taken by the contestant?

AWE Daniel

Yes. It has to be a "Sign". It could be a street sign, or a business sign. I will post up an example of a picture I took. It also has to be a photo you yourself snapped. No googling or downloading images off of the internet. That would take all the fun out of it.


Kevin, is there a maximum number of contestants/pics per month?

I ask because I think the max number of choices for a poll is 10. I guess if you have more than 10 I guess you could do 2 polls but then members would be able to vote for more than one pic (once each poll).

Good Call. Yes, this will be limited to 10 per month. It will be a first come first served kind of thing. Once the 10 spots are filled, the poll will run. I think with there being so many choices, members will have an option to choose more than one selection, so if someone likes 2 pictures, they can vote for two.


Ok here we go i suppose this is what you want.
Close but no cigar. No downloading images off of the internet. The submissions have to be all original photos taken by the individual that submits them.

See above...lol

Correct. We dont want people googling images

As funny as these signs are, they would be best posted in the funny pics thread.

This is an awesome idea! If it really takes off, maybe we could do a weekly poll.

No one complained. But this is supposed to be an anonymous competition so describing the picture submit is really anonymous.

Still only have 3 pictures. I thought this was something that was going to be a little different and really fun!

Here's a heads up on next months topic. "Building". Start keeping your eyes out for a good shot.
