Photo Of The Month (POTM) Competition rules

Post by andygolfer » Mon Nov 25, 2024 10:33 am

These are the current rules for the Photo Of The Month (POTM) Competition:

Please read and adhere to all the 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 the competition title.

3. The photo can be of any subject you like, as long as there is some civilian aviation connection - shots of military aircraft at civilian airfields do not qualify though.

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 (UK time) on the 7th of the following month for example the January competition will close on at 23.59 on the 7th February

6. Voting is open to all members in the 7 days following the closure of the competition, this will be done by a poll which will be set up when the competition closes. Moderators/Administrators/Sponsors will not be exempt from the competition but no-one can vote for their own entry.

7. Voting details will be announced once the competition has closed.The number of votes allowed will depend on the number of entries

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. Please embed the images and not post a link to an image as it makes it harder to judge, if you're not sure how to do it, shout up and someone will sort it out.

10. Do not comment on other member's photos.

11. It IS permissible to change your entry before the closing date.

12.The decision of the moderating team is final.

13. Only entries already posted on the forum will qualify for the competition, please include a link to the original post. This only applies to POTM

14.The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.
