*SUBMISSION THREAD for the August Contest - Theme: Grand and Majestic* - *CLOSED*

SUBMISSION THREAD FOR THE AUGUST CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED


SUBMISSION THREAD for the August Photo Contest. Theme: Interpret the definition of "august". From Websters - august: marked by majestic dignity or grandeur, having a formal and impressive quality.

Do try to convey your interpretation of the definition of "august". Do not limit your inspiration, as I believe there can be majesty and grandeur in even the smallest of subjects that catch our eye.

The submission thread will close at 10:00 p.m. EST on August 17th or whenever thirty photos have been submitted, whichever comes first.

Preliminaries will be posted in GD on August 18th-21st.

Finals will be posted in GD August 22nd-25th.

BASIC CONTEST/CHALLENGE RULES:

Only one entry per person. You need to post your entry in the submission thread started by the host of a contest/challenge. Please be sure to include a "Title" for your photograph in the Subject line of your post. The submission thread is for photo entries only, no comments. The Host will usually start a separate thread just for comments.

Please keep your photograph entry no larger than 800 pixels in its longest dimension and under 300K in file size, unless otherwise designated by contest host. If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing just ask.

Please do not use frames other than small point outline edges.

Post-processing is allowed but a light hand would be appreciated. If there are any questions about what that covers, feel free to ask.

Be sure to read the following before you enter a photograph:


CONTEST LICENSE

An entrant to this contest, by submitting a photograph, is giving permission for that photograph to be copied to Demopedia or to a linked Gallery and included in a DU Calendar that will display the photographs entered for this contest for the purpose of publicizing future contests and/or commemorating current and past contests.

The entrant retains all other rights to the photograph being submitted. Neither Demopedia and/or a linked Gallery may use any photograph submitted for any purpose other than to display the photograph being submitted by the entrant, and neither gains any real or implied ownership rights to the photograph.


Please do not include comments with your submissions. Instead, post them here.
