***Submission Thread for the Summer Contest***

This discussion thread was locked by CaliforniaPeggy (a host of the Photography group).

Here's the place for you to submit your photo for the Summer Contest!

Whatever Summer means to you: Activities, Food, Family, Trips etc. Here's the place to show them off!


Here's the timeline:

Submissions to open today, September 10th.

Preliminary Polls will run from Sunday, September 17th. They will run for 72 hours.

The Final Poll will run from Wednesday, September 20th, also for 72 hours.


There will shortly be a Comments Thread so you can talk about your entry, or about any entry. Please do not leave comments in the Submission Thread. If you need to make a change, you can delete your entry and use the same space for a new one!

Here's the link for the Comments Thread: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036119976


I am going to implement a very large change in how we do things. I am, for this contest only, waiving the rules on size limitations. AndyS ran a poll to see how the group feels about this, and the majority of the votes went to not enforcing the size limits. Therefore, there will be no rules regarding size.

This is an experiment to see how suspending this rule works out here in the real world. Let's not go crazy with huge files; whatever you see as normal will work.

After this contest is over, we should discuss how it went and how people feel about it. Remember, these contests are for fun and bragging rights! It would be great if we saw some new folks coming in to participate as well.


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.
