PortalsHey all,
First, I apologize for being a day late in getting this posted. My oldest daughter just had our first grandson. It was a 10 hour drive to get here, and I've been a bit pre-occupied since I got here.
The theme for the August contest is Portals. Anything that you can associate with the term Portals. There is room for broad interpretation here.
This contest is open to every DU member.
Light editing for cropping, color correction, saturation and exposure.
Again: Please keep your entry no larger than 1024 pixels in its longest dimension and under 675K in file size. This is a requirement for entry, according to the rules of the contest. If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing, just ask. I will be happy to resize photos through my flickr account if requested.
Link to the Rules for both Monthly & Seasonal Photo Contest: https://www.democraticunderground.com/103614595
The winner of the monthly contest agrees to host the next monthly contest or recruit someone else to host the contest.
You need to post your entry in the Submission Thread. 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 or questions. The Host will start a separate thread just for comments and/or questions.
Any threatening or disparaging comments toward the host should also be posted in the Comments Thread, not the Submission Thread.
Submissions will be limited to 30 entries maximum unless the Photography Group votes to change the limits.
CONTEST SCHEDULE:
Submissions thread will remain open thru August 20, or until we get 30 entries (whichever comes first).
Preliminary voting will run from the 21st thru the 23rd.
Final voting will run from the 24th thru the 26th.
Winners announced, and torch passed, on the 27th.
The Submission & Comment threads will be posted in the Photography Group. The Preliminary polls and Final Contest poll will be posted in GD per Skinners permission.
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 ask questions or make comments in the Submissions thread
