Further explanation of the theme, which is provided by Jason~Bourne:
Inspired by his family's current vacation plans, Matt Damon, er, Jason~Bourne would
like to see some Euro-centric images this week. Cars must be European, and the locations
they reside in must be too. This opens up Photo Travel, rally, race tracks, city circuits...
basically, you've got (nearly) carte blanche for some creativity this week!
CARS: European makes only
LOCATIONS: European locations only
PHOTO TRAVEL: Yes
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: All cars in image must be European
- It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
- Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
- Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
it makes poll creation much easier!
- No full-size images posted in thread; your entry will be ignored.
[*]One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
[*]Do not ask other users to pick your entry.
[*]Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
[*]You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
[*]When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
[*]Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
[*]A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
[*]Do not post additional "also-rans" - just your entry will do!
[*]Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 20. Every fourth
week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", and the best from each
poll faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
[*]Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
