Snail Photography Competition Rules
I have tried to explain the rules as clearly as possible, but if there are any questions or suggestions, then either pm me or state on this thread. Please take time to read all the rules before you decide to enter the competition.
Entry of Photographs
Each individual can submit only ONE photograph.
Please do not enter any other individual's images, only your own are acceptable.
Photographs used in previous competitions are not allowed to be used used in further competitions. This rule helps make sure that you keep on clicking on those cameras - and also gives other people an even chance of winning!
Remember - if possible a good quality photograph is needed - this enables others to see your entry clearly. If photographs are not clear then it may affect the outcome of the competition. Of course, this may not be possible for everyone but please try to get the best photographs possible.
In the event that the competition has a theme - only photos that follow that theme will be accepted. Any off theme photos will not be entered into the competition.
Please enter your photograph by PM to the organiser of the competition - this will allow the photo's to remain anonymous when voting begins! The organizer will then tally the votes for each individual photograph.
Voting
Each individual can only vote for only ONE entry.
You CAN NOT vote for your own entry or vote for other entries more than once.
To vote, you simply PM your vote, saying the number of the picture that you have voted for. This method of voting enables your votes to be almost completely anonymous.
Dates
There will be a deadline for when all entries must be in. This will usually be a 4 week time limit - but the cut off date will always be announced in the individual competition threads.
There will be a deadline for voting also. This will also generally be a 4 week time limit - but again will always be stated in the individual competition thread. At the end of this time, the votes will be counted and verified.
We will attempt to hold photo competitions every other month, obviously you will get prior warning when you see the competition threads posted. In other words - keep an eye on the competition board
Prize
The winner of this competition will be rewarded with a winner's certificate giving your snail the title of "Snail of the Month"!!!
***These rules are amended from Lisa's rules for the original photo competition - in order to maintain a similar format to which you are all acquainted!***
