For this months challenge we are having - 'Butterflies and Insects'.
This is a PRIZE competition. Admin and our sponsor Zeiss are offering a pair of Zeiss Victory 8x20 compact binoculars valued at £279 to go to the winner of this months competition.
'Butterflies and Insects' will be loosely interpreted to include - butterflies, moths, spiders, beetles, dragonflies and all other creepy crawlies. No slugs and snails though! If in doubt please ask by replying to this thread before posting your entry - as once made it cannot be swapped.
The rules must be adhered to in order to avoid disqualification - they will be rigidly enforced - the Moderators decision is final.
Rules -
1. Entries to have been taken in the last twelve months ie. since 1st August 2003.
2. Date taken to be included in the entry - must at least include month and year.
3. Entries to be uploaded between 1st-21st midnight GMT(BST).
4. Your entry must be of a wild subject - not one in captivity or cultivated.
5. Location taken to be included.
6. One entry per member.
7. Only minor image adjustment is permitted, such as cropping, sharpening, contrast, and levels. The photo must not be otherwise greatly manipulated ie. objects should not be added / removed in order to enhance the shot - no composite images.
8. Once uploaded a photo is classed as an entry and cannot be replaced by another shot. However, you have until the closing date/time of this competition to ensure that your photo meets criteria.
9. The entry must be your own work and not previously submitted in a competition on this site.
10. The competition is open to all members who joined prior to August 2004. The prize will be awarded to the entry attracting the highest number of votes. If a tie then Admin/Moderators will decide the winner. Moderators are excluded from winning the prize.
11. Please add the Common Name if possible - this rule has been relaxed due to difficulties encountered (please add the scientific name too if you can).
12. Details of photo equipment used to be included.
Entries to be uploaded directly by entrants to the Monthly Photo Competitions 2004 gallery.
A voting booth will be posted after the 21st - all qualifying entries will be added.
As this is a prize competition comments on entries are not permitted until after voting has taken place.
Limits on photo size and kb are determined by the Gallery limits. The proposed monthly themes are listed in the Competition forum - however they are subject to amendment and designation as 'prize competition' themes which will appear periodically.
