jamtaylor (71)in #steemitphotochallenge • 8 years ago

NOTICE:

Please read:

We are going to test out a change with the SPC. In order to facilitate a more sustainable SPC in terms of prizes, we are now going to allow 2 weeks for entries giving time for the post rewards to pay out to be used as the prizes.

I will give clear dates for deadlines from hereon.

Two weeks!

The deadline for entries for SPC41 is now June 7th 04:00 AM UTC — Just make sure you get the entries in before Tuesday June 6th in your timezone and you’ll be fine. Winners will be announced on Friday June 9th.

Again, this is to make the SPC more self-sustaining in terms of payouts going towards the prizes.

It also means that you have more time to plan your shoots and get new images in, which will be great!

If you have suggestions, leave some comments :)

Please read these carefully and adhere to them

I strongly encourage you to post work that is original to this challenge, in other words — take a new photograph instead of using an old one.

Deadline for entry is 04:00AM UTC (which is midnight UTC-4) on the Wednesday morning
All entries must be a post tagged both #photography and #steemitphotochallenge
The Title should contain "SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry" along with the title of your work.
Let us know the medium used to produce the photograph, it may be more impressive based on what it is.
Basic processing is allowed. ‘Digital art’ won’t be considered.
Any medium or format is allowed — iphone, ipad, film, digital, point and shoot, drone, whatever. Once it takes a picture. Note that image quality will be considered.

Multiple Entries can all go in one post, just put the details under the image.

Any attempt to steal others' work is considered a serious infraction by the community, so don't do it. Please don't waste your and our time by posting some image from the net.

Every effort will be made to ensure that we do not reward theft. All images will be reverse checked, if the image has been found on more than 2 “major” websites, it will be disqualified unless reasonable proof can be shown to prove ownership of the original. If there is any doubt whatsoever about the ownership of the photograph, I reserve the right to disqualify the image. It is in your interest to provide any proof necessary. I would appreciate any help from the community in finding plagiarism where I might have missed it.

The photographs will be judged on how well they met the challenge, the quality of the image, the composition, lighting, exposure, creativity and the general aesthetics which means that yes, it is subjective.

^{By entering this competition you acknowledge that you own the rights to the photographs and allow for me to re-post the image should it receive a winner or honourable mention position.}

Of course, full support to this wonderful competition. Upvoted & resteemed. Just one question: are the cityscapes excluded from the “landscape” cathegory, and if they are, will there be “cityscape” as a separate theme?

Cityscape could very well be a theme in the future :)
