Old POTM competition - see new sticky.

Post by Dave »

******************

Welcome, gentlemen!

This is the home of the TT-Forums Photo of the Month Competition.

How to enter
You have the time from the announcement of the month's competition to the last day of said month to send me a photo by either Private Message or e-mail.

Include some details about the picture - where was it taken? What is the subject of the photo? What is it doing there, etc.

The procedure
At the end of the calendar month, the collection of photographs entered will be put on a page at http://users.tt-forums.net/daveworley

Voting will then take place in the first week of the following month.

How to vote
Click the link and look at the photos. Then simply vote in the poll.

The Rules

1. The photo must be related to transport generally. This may include trains, ships, planes, or any other form of transport except cars and other personal modes of travel. Obviously a certain degree of common sense is intended.
2. Most months will have a specific topic for which to post a picture about. Pictures entered that don't, in the opinion of the organisers, follow this topic will not be entered into the final vote. Discussion will be pursued with the entrant about the eligibility of the photo in regards to the topic.
3. The topic will be chosen by the previous month's winner. If they decide not to choose a topic, the following month will have a topic selected by the award organisers.
4. The photo MUST belong to the entrant. If evidence is found to the contrary the entry will be disqualified.
5. Entrants may only enter one photo, although it is possible to change the photo should they wish to. Entrants may not use multiple usernames to enter multiple photos.
6. The decision of the organisers is final - although the voting process is entirely democratic and EVERYONE'S vote adds one point to the score of a photograph.

Comments
Most of all, it should be remembered that the competition is for fun, and is intended to allow people to show off their photography talents. Don't forget to adhere to your country's rules regarding railway enthusiasts. A copy of the British Rules can be found at the National Rail website, and I assume most of these rules apply to most other countries. Also remember that taking photos of public transport in your country may be banned.

Remember the adage - Stop, Look, Listen For God's sake don't get yourself killed; and remember to have lots of fun!

It has to be your own photo. You've got to showcase your ability.
