As August is the month for us to enjoy The Edinburgh Festival, The Fringe and Notting Hill Carnival as well as all those sunny outdoor barbeques, I have chosen ‘Parties and Celebrations’ as this months theme.
As always the theme is open to your interpretation – I want to see how you party.
This month's prize has been generously donated by noctrl of clevercut (http://www.clevercut.co.uk/) - more details to follow.
Rules:
1) Your photo must be taken by yourself, between now and August 31st, please do not submit a previously taken picture.
2) You have until midnight on August 31st to enter the competition, by uploading your photographs (you may enter as many times as you like but only one entry will be selected for the final 20) to the 'Photography Competition' gallery.
3) Please put August 06 at the beginning of your title when you load it up into the gallery as otherwise over time all the entries from the different months will kind of merge into each other. Only photos identified in this way will be considered for the top 20.
4) In the description when you upload, please tell us a little about the subject of the photo, and what camera / settings you used
5) Please note that you may manipulate your photo in a graphics programme prior to entering it in the competition, if you wish.
How will the entries be judged?
As this month's host, I will whittle down the entries to a shortlist of 20 photos (no more than one from each entrant - if you enter more than once I will attempt to choose the photo I think stands the best chance of getting you the most votes)
The criteria I will use to judge each photo will be:
1) composition
2) technical considerations (eg. focus, tonal range etc)
3) overall impact
4) does it fit the brief?
On 1st September 2006, I will set up a voting poll in this forum and also a link to the 20 shortlisted images. The poll will be open for 7 days, and at the end, we will have a winner.
Finally, don't forget - voting (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=121892) for the July winner is open until August 7th - if you haven't yet voted, please come and check out the finalists and show them your support!
