Wonder if there are bonus points if the photo subject is monkeys

2. This may be more of a question for Overread: Once the Photo Challenge pictures are posted for voting, are they ALSO eligible to be nominated as POTM?

That's a good question.
One the one hand I don't just want POTM to end up gathering up a load of photos from the Challenge because people's choice in voting for them didn't win and POTM is another chance at winning. That said we've never had a site rule that photos may only be posted once to the forums and many of the theme threads in particular often gather a lot of repeat postings of photos - and indeed people from the challenge might want critique or comments on their photo outside of the challenge (and thus post them up again in their own thread) - further these threads or repostings might not happen for weeks or months after the Challenge ends, meaning that to uphold a no-duplicates rule I'd have to check every challenge result thread every month (which introduces a growing amount of work as months roll by).


So what I'm going to say is that you can't nominate a photo from the Challenge for Photo of the Month in the same month that Challenge ran. If the photo gets reposted somewhere else later then it can be nominated without problem - but during the same month no.

That's my view on the matter, however I'll leave that choice up for debate for a while before I adjust the rules - if people have a strong opinion on another option to consider please say so.

I think I should get bonus points for sending mine in the day that the contest was announced.

Can I resubmit mine with a small tweak? Like so small it is barely noticeable, but is driving me crazy.

I'm doing a cliche shot so I get more votes.

yes of course... just say in the email that it's a replacement for previous. Be sure to include the form with your submission!

Add your own.

I was looking for this post ... thanks for the information. I've never entered a challenge here before, so hopefully I'll get time to try this one.

Woot!! It's challenge time!! It was nice to see how excited everyone was for the challenge return!! Hopefully, that will translate into a lot of submissions this month!

For this month, we have decided to set the challenge topic as "New Beginning". The theme ties in nicely w/ the rebirth of our challenge. Please keep in mind that these themes are meant to be subjective. Think outside the box and get creative! Good luck to everyone! We can't wait to see what you come up with!!

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

• Any registered member of The Photo Forum may enter, though anyone foolish enough to be responsible for running the silly thing is not eligible to win.
• New challenges will be posted on or around the first of each month.
• Themes are intended to have some measure of flexibility. This is an art thing, folks! Do what you think is right and run with it!
• The challenge will remain open to new submissions until precisely midnight GMT on the last calendar day of the month.
• Within five days the images will be assembled for viewing and posted as a display and voting poll. Members of TPF will be allowed to vote for their favorite image. Polls will remain open for one full week.
• The winner will be announced at the end of the voting week.
• In the event of the tie, the moderators will select a winner.
• There are currently no prizes being offered, but we're hoping to change that. Bear with us and be sure to heckle as many moderators about this as humanly possible.
• I like monkeys.
• It is at the sole discretion of the challenge moderators to accept or reject any image submitted for any reason they deem appropriate.
• All images must not have been previously posted to TPF, and ideally should be taken during the challenge month. (The idea is to get folks out and thinking about new ways to shoot!)
• Images must be emailed to challengetpf@gmail.com. All submitted photos must include a form that needs to be completed. A copy of the form will be posted each month.
• Images can be no larger than 500k. All images must be 700 pixels long on their long edge. No edge of the image can exceed 700 pixels.
• Images submitted must be anonymous and must bear no markings or indications of who the image belongs to. Watermarks, names and copyrights embedded in IEXIF information, etc. count as identification and such images will be rejected.
• Images must be owned by the submitter and copyrighted or trademarked works from another party will not be accepted.

Please enter your email subject as "March '13 Photo Challenge Submission"

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.

Good luck!!
