Photo Challenge: January '11 "Adventure"

[Chris of Arabia]

Hi everyone,

Thanks to those who took part in the December '10 challenge, the poll will be up shortly.

For this month, I have decided to set the challenge topic as "Adventure". Let's see what you can do this month. Can I also suggest the following guidelines be followed:

• "Adventure" can be found in many forms in life, just come up with something that best illustrates the idea to you.
• Shoot specifically for the Photo Challenge - don't go raiding the archives, that is not a challenge!
• The Challenge is about making you think and helping you improve the way you take pictures and the end results you get, so make an effort, get out there, try something different, but most of all, have fun!
• Good luck

The prize for the winner of the vote, as always, will be a $25.00 Amazon voucher courtesy of the TPF owners.

For all those who wish to participate in this challenge please take a moment to read through the following:

1. The deadline for submissions is 31 January 2011
2. The image can be no larger then 150KB*
3. Include your forum username when submitting
4. The attached photo must be in the form of a .jpg

6. Submit no more than one photo
7. If you wish you may include a title when submitting your photo (please ensure that the attached photo is renamed as the chosen title)
8. The form must also be included when submitting the photo

Please email your photo to [email protected] and remember to enter the subject as indicated.

All photos must include the form when submitted. Just copy and paste it into your email. This will ensure that no mistakes are made when photos are submitted and therefore, hopefully, no photos are excluded. If the form is not included in the submission email the photo will not be included in the challenge gallery and voting process.

There is more important information regarding rules and procedures located in the FAQ section. We highly recommend that you take the time to read these FAQs.

Good luck to everyone and have fun with this challenge!

*150KB will be taken as the “size on disk” and not the actual file size. Also some email programs consider 1KB=1000Bytes as opposed to 1KB=1024Bytes. When these programs calculate attachment size they will often read larger than they actually are. To be safe we recommend a target size of about 140KB so that once sent it does not go over 150KB.

I don't think they give out awards anymore as I have yet to receive my Amazon $25 award for Novembers "communication" contest and it has been over a month ago?

Read the FAQ, it will tell you.

I´m just a beginner and a new comer, but I´ll certainly expect to learn something with the contest! Maybe I´ll give it a try&#8230;

 

[MrEdinarea51]

I am a newbie to this forum and this is a first for me, for both the subject of my submission and sbmitting to any kind of Photography Contest. I just hope it's not my last.

I'm new to this site, and saw the 150Kb file size for submissions, but didn't see anything about file dimensions. What are the maximum dimensions this site allows that won't blow out the sides ? Thanks !

I think I found it in the general FAQ's section, 800pix wide, is that correct ?
