***Submission Thread for March contest: Winter***

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

The theme for the March contest is Winter


PLEASE DO NOT PUT ANYTHING BUT ENTRIES IN THIS SUBMISSION THREAD

Submissions will remain open until March 14th, unless we reach our limit of 30 prior to that.

Rules
MONTHLY CONTEST:

Your photo must be your own original work. Please do not post a photo downloaded from the internet and presented as your own.

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.

Here's the link for the Comments Thread: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036142318


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.

We no longer have rules about the photo size. But please be reasonable! Ask if you have questions. Keep in mind that photos which are too large can be a disadvantage. For instance, photos that are too tall may require scrolling to see the entire image on a computer screen. Photos that are too wide may not look great when viewed vertically on a phone.

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 EarlG’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)

CONTEST LICENSE:

An entrant to this contest, 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.
