Photo competitions coming very soon.

Post by old_git » Sun Feb 14, 2010 9:47 am

As you all may, or may not know, we have been planning to introduce Photo competitions to the CA forum, very much like our mil sister forum, Fighter Control.

well to get us underway, starting in March we will have a monthly competition for photo's from that month.

there will be a small token prize for first place, and the top 3 will go into the CA hall of fame, with possibly a calendar at the end of the year published. depending on interest.

please read the following rules, any questions post them here.

Photography Competition Rules

1. Only one entry per user, unless posting on behalf of another person who is unable to do so themselves (children for example). If this is the case, please state so on your entry.
2. The photograph must have been taken during the month in question.
3. The photo can be of any subject you like, as long as there is some Civillian aviation connection.
4. The image can be photo-shopped to some extent, levels changes, cropping, sharpening etc are all acceptable. The photograph must retain it’s initial subject though, don’t make it something it’s not, (cutting and pasting the moon into the shot, for example). HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.
5. The competition will remain open until 23.59 on the 1st April 2010, to enable anyone with last minutes entries some breathing space
6. Voting will be conducted by the moderators, in the 72 hours following the closure of the competition. Moderators/Administrators will not be exempt from the competition, but cannot vote for their own entry.
7. The decision of the moderating team is final.
8. All images must be posted in line with the usual CA posting rules, size etc, read them if you're not sure how to post etc.
9. The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.

Prizes –
First Prize
To be announced soon.

Second Prize

sponsors allways wanted for forthcoming competition prizes.
