***SUBMISSION THREAD FOR THE JUNE PHOTO CONTEST***

This discussion thread was locked by Grumpy Old Guy (a host of the Photography group).

**NOW OPEN FOR SECOND ENTRIES. THERE ARE TWO SLOTS AVAILABLE. GOOD LUCK! **

I will lock the thread as soon as we get them. Prelims will go up on Tuesday or Wednesday.



The seasonal theme this month is "Spring." What that means is whatever you think it means. The topic is wide open, as long as it relates somehow to the Spring season.

HERE ARE THE BASIC RULES OF SUBMISSION:

Only one entry per person, and it must be a photograph you took yourself. You need to post your entry in this 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. Those make my job a lot more difficult. I will post a thread for questions and comments shortly after I post this Submissions thread! If you decide for any reason to change the photo you've already entered, please do an edit in your original post rather than adding a new post, which throws off our count

Here is the link to the comments thread: https://democraticunderground.com/1036115928

The Volunteer Host is allowed to enter the Contest.

Please keep 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.

Once a photo is entered in a contest it is ineligible for any future contest unless the Host specifies otherwise.

CONTEST LICENSE:

An entrant to this contest (original work), 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.

.

Here is the tentative timeline for the contest, subject to change.

Contest submissions: June 5th through June 12th.

Preliminary Threads: June 14th through June 16th.

Finals Threads: June 18th through June 20th.
