***Submissions for the January photo contest***

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

Submissions only.

January's theme is blue wave. Per Diamond_Dog (Fall contest winner) any subject or focal point that is blue or the color blue predominant in the photo. (Being that we’re all looking forward to a Blue Wave this fall).

If you care to comment please do it here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036125314

Just some preliminary rules:

Remember, photo submissions must be original work by person who is submitting the photo.

One entry per person, unless host opens the contest up for additional submissions.

Submissions will open on 01/06 and will continue until 01/10 or until we have 30 photos.

The Preliminary Polls will run from 01/11 until 01/14.

The Final Poll will run from 01/15 until 02/17.

The winners will be announced after the poll closes, as soon as possible.

MONTHLY CONTEST:

Only one entry of your own original work per person, unless/until the Volunteer Host opens Submissions for second entries. You need to post your entry in the submission thread started by the Host of a 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, no questions. The Host will start a separate thread just for comments and questions.

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

The Winner of the contest is the one that comes up with the Theme of the next contest. They can just decide on a theme or may ask for suggestions and then run a poll to pick one of them. Either way the Theme will always be at the discretion of the person who won the contest.

The Volunteer Host has the option of adding other rules to the contest they are hosting. An example would be no Black & White or all Black & White entries.

The Volunteer Host has the option of declaring the submissions being blind (no one knows who entered which photo) or public. Should the Host op for blind submissions it is their responsibility to instruct entrants on how to get their entries to the host.

The Volunteer Host is the final authority in their contests. The Volunteer Host may enter a contest as long as the Volunteer Host is not the previous winner and has not selected the theme for the contest which they are hosting.

Submissions will be limited to 30 entries maximum unless the Photography Group votes to change the limits.

The Winner of the contest agrees to pick the next month's theme. The Winner of the monthly contest may not enter the contest for which they selected a theme.

The Submission & Comment threads will be posted in the Photography Group. The Preliminary polls and Final Contest poll will be posted in GD per Admin's permission.

The Host of the Contest may copy and paste these rules into their submission thread or post a link to these rules into the submission thread. The Host WILL copy and paste the CONTEST LICENSE into the submission thread in its entirety. (At bottom of post)
