Hi all

I thought I would just post to let everyone know that I have agreed to give Tony a reprieve in 2009 and take over the running of the photo competition. The format will be very much like before, with a few slight differences:

I will choose the subject each month and, for the most part, the subject will be themed appropriately to the month.

There will be two ‘winners’ from each month and those winners will then go into the ‘Grand Final’, which will have first, second and third place.

I will be providing (small) prizes for the Grand Final winners but the idea is that the competition is for fun so please don’t go getting too competitive

And now for the boring bit – the rules!!! (Please note the addition of rules number 7 and 8 which will be effective from 1st March)

1. The competition is open to regular posters on the UK community forum and only regular posters can vote (just entering the competition and voting each month does not count as regular posting)
2. Unless otherwise specified, the pictures must have been taken by the person who is entering.
3. Entries are limited to two photos per person, unless otherwise specified
4. Pictures must be no larger than 600 x 800
5. Please do not edit your pictures in any way, including putting borders round them or enhancing them in any way. The idea is for the pictures to be natural and for all the photos to be on an equal standing, from an appearance point of view
6. Photos which have been entered for previous competitions may not be submitted again
7. If a person who has entered the competition does not vote, their pictures will be disqualified.
8. You may not vote for your own photograph

As the organiser, I reserve the right to exclude any picture which does not meet the requirements and to discount votes if the voter is not a regular poster. I may also introduce new rules along the way, if the need arises (or if I’ve missed anything important).

Sorry to seem a stickler but I am taking into account various comments/problems that have arisen over the last couple of years that the competition has been running and I hope I can make it as fair as possible for everyone involved. I hope that you all feel you can take part and I look forward to seeing some of your entries.

The first subject will be a tribute to the 2009 'theme' for Walt Disney World "What will you celebrate?" Therefore, the theme for January's entries will be 'Celebrations' - pictures can be from any park in or around the Orlando area or any other Disney park. I will post the thread for entries in the next couple of days and look forward to seeing all of your pictures.
 
Good of you to give Tony a rest - I'll have to try and dig out some snaps (not that I'll worry anyone hence the word snap lol)
 
Sounds great Joh, I loved looking at all the pics & taking part in last years. :thumbsup2

With this months 'celebration' theme can that be Halloween & christmas pics too???
 

Thanks for organising the photo comp. this year Joh and for giving Tony a well earned rest :)
 
wow! fun idea!

I've been a dlp girl up to now, but I am planning 2 wdw trips and a wdw wedding, so I cant wait to see all the photos!

Also, hopefully after the summer i can submit some wdw photos myself! :)
 
Look forward to seeing some fab photos in 2009... :thumbsup2
 
Sounds great Joh! Thanks for all your work.

I found last year that I was always too late with posting, as I took January comp to mean entries till end of Jan, how will you be doing this??
 
Are we aloud to post photos from Disney Cruise too

Thanks joh for taking this comp on for us
 
Actually,lol, can one theme be my gorgeous black and white dress I bought for 27 quid for my cruise???? go on, go on,go on,
:lmao:
 
I have made a couple of slight amendments to the rules.

I am just about to post this month's entries thread - Aruna, the idea is that I will post the thread for entries on the 1st of the month (or thereabouts) and it will be open for entries for about a fortnight. There will then be a period of 1 week for initial voting, followed by another week for the final poll and the winners will be announced at the end of the month. Does that make sense?
 
It makes perfect sense, I'll do my best to post early in the month.
