August Competition Theme
 

Our August competition shall be another 'Freestyle' competition with no theme. Therefore any photo discipline including digitally manipulated images which are not normally accepted into a themed competition. Please upload your photos to the competition entries category in the gallery.

The competition will be open until August 31st . At the end of August entries will go into a poll for voting for two weeks when a winner will be announced and transferred into the competition winners category. At the end of this year all competition winners will be entered into a poll for the photo of the year contest, held in January 2008.

One entry per member, photo must have been taken by a member but there is no time restriction on when the photo was taken.

Photos that have been entered in our gallery longer than 31 days shall not allowed.

In the event of an overwhelming number of entries Moderators and Admin will decide on a final short list, in this event any Moderators or Admin who entered the competition shall remove their own entry.

Thanks,Stephen.

wheres the fun in bicuits if theres some left in the tin.

What? Don't understand?

I understand what you mean by the phrase, but don't understand how it relates to the competition theme discussion. Sorry.

freestyle, its not so fun. like soft digestives. theres so many more biscuits and competition themes to choose!

wheres the fun in competitions, if theres themes left in the tin?

A freestyle competition allows ALL members to participate who may not otherwise have a photo to fit any given theme. Several freestyle months are scheduled facilitating a fair and fully inclusive competition.

I think that an occasional freestyle is a good idea.

Well noted...
Thanks Stephen,

Alex

bah humbug

But if they don't already have a photo can't they go out and take one. (And that applies to freestyle aswell.) Surely it makes the competion more interesting if you have to shoot specifically for the competition.

to quote Roy Walker, YOOU'REE RIIIIGHT:D

The freestyle competition like others has no time restriction for when the photo was taken. Gallery images already uploaded cannot be entered unless uploaded less then 31 days.

The competition is without theme, therefore no excuse not to enter!

This is a chance to enter your best!

A few freestyle comps gets my vote on two fronts.

1) It encourages those members who are new to photography to submit their best shot to date irrespective of subject.
2) To quote Jamie's post #6 [ wheres the fun in competitions, if theres themes left in the tin? ] . To my mind its a bit of an oportunity to let your imagination run wild and in effect bake your own biscuit to your own recipie with no limits. I have seen lots of gallery submissions where the subject, and the photographers interpretation of it, are well suited to the wide brief of ' Freestyle '.
