Photography Competition Rules :-

2. The photo may have been taken on any date, it does not have to be taken in the month of the competition

3. 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. HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.

4. 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

5. 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.

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

10. 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..

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

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

13. A brief description of where and when the image was taken would be preferred.
