Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the Photography Contest! Welcome back for another round of the DC Photography contest, come and show us what you've got! This time, the theme is: Sports Submission deadline: September 19 Voting deadline: October 3 Rules: - One entry per person. -A photograph is defined as an image made using a camera or phone camera -Screenshots are not allowed - Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra. - No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.). - No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo. - When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness. - You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition. - Winner hosts the next contest.

Posted September 6, 2020 I dont think a virtual mice race counts, but there it goes anyways- pure chaos and lag included. Share this post Link to post

You are welcome to not vote for it! It is a point, though, as I debated that myself. Could we add that to the rules going forward? "Screenshots are/are not allowed." Please feel free to give feedback on this so the next host will know what to add! Thanks. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 21, 2020 I'm not sure about my wording in English, but I'd like to add rules something like this, We are submitting photos. Which means some images taken with camera are allowed. Not digitally created images nor scanned images. Share this post Link to post

"Screenshots are/are not allowed." Please feel free to give feedback on this so the next host will know what to add! Thanks. The same person posted another screenshot when I hosted and I deffinitively didn't accept it. It shouldn't be said it isn't allowed as the rules and title are already clear that it is about photography and screenshots are not photos. Share this post Link to post

Which means some images taken with camera are allowed. Not digitally created images nor scanned images. Far too complicated wording. "Screenshots are not allowed" is much better.

Posted September 21, 2020 Agree that we should specify "no screenshots". That is not photography. Share this post Link to post

Posted September 21, 2020 There has been no issue at all except screenies. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 22, 2020 I agree that a screenshot is not a photograph and does not belong in this contest, and I also agree that simple wording is best. Perhaps we need two new bullet points? -A photograph is defined as an image made using a camera -Screenshots are not allowed Share this post Link to post

Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Congratulations, @Swiftphoenix! I'll edit the new bit into the rules to make your copy/paste easier. Urgh. Turns out I can't because the poll has closed. I was going to add it as the first bit before 'has to be done by yourself'. -A photograph is defined as an image made using a camera or phone camera -Screenshots are not allowed Edited October 4, 2020 by Lagie Share this post Link to post
