CLOSED: Secret Santa Competition Week 27

[Nato_777]

Further explaination of this very open theme as given by Jason_B.

"It could be a pack of GT cars racing down the front stretch at LeMans with the lights from pit
lane shimmering in the night or it could be as simple as a wheel as the light shines on it.
It could be a car parked in an alley or it could be a set of eyes peering from under a visor.
It could be a car storming through the rain at SSR7, whatever it is I want to be wowed.
I want everyone to explore the surroundings, feel the colours, and try something new; you
might surprise yourself."

Cars: Any but not necessarliy any.
Locations: Any.
Phototravel: Yes, you guessed it... any.
Unique Restrictions: "Jagged edges will have a very negative effect on me. "

I hope everyone makes it a challenge for me to select 10 or 15. I am not going to favor any car or style. I'm hoping to see 10 completely different styles or shots to make the poll. A big help would be to look at the Hall of Fame for any inspirations.

If anyone still has questions please feel free to post them or PM me.

I don't know what the prize car will be but I'm going to sweeten the deal and add a matching set of cars from my collection on top of whatever Nato gives to the winner. And there will be something for the first person that does not make the poll.

Everyone knows the posting rules on size, please use it.

 

[Boabdulrahman]

This should be a great challenge
As it is a PMC week

 

[Nato_777]

Yes there will be prize cars for SSC and CCCL this week, although I haven't had time to organise them yet as I've been away for a few days, however watch this space.

 

[Jacob]

The theme sounds amazing, will try to come up with something good.

 

[Ferrari_458]

So it's basically an open theme? Or am I not really getting it?

It's open. You can ask anyone from the tournaments, it's the hardest theme to use.

Haha thanks for the quick confirmation I can imagine, I really don't know where to start... Oh well, should have an entry in sometime this week

 

[Raphaele]

Finally all great shots might have a chance in this comp that never matched a theme before…

 

[Jason_B]

I've got 4 so far. I'll reply back so that you know I received it.

 

[Nuschel01]

I can send in any picture I made, is that right?

Yes, just remember it's PMC no editing.

Went for something totally different this time. At least, I tried to.

The only other thing to remember is that any shot you enter cannot be in your gallery (if you have one) until after the competition and poll has ended.

Check your in box.

...Nevermind...

From my Collection I am giving away as a bonus to whoever wins, a matching set of cars.

As Nismo pointed out in last weeks SS competition, it is the 100 year mark for Chevrolet.

So without further ado:

2009 Corvette ZR1 toned in Pearl White Crystal Effect wearing Matte Black BBS Wheels and the 1960 Corvette AM also toned in Pearl White Crystal Effect and wearing Matte Black Wheels. Both have been fully loaded with everything and both are brand with new zero miles.​

So as I was walking through the city I pass by the mental institution and I hear a commotion from inside the wall. I couldn't see in but all I heard were people yelling 13, 13, 13.

 

[Nato_777]

Hehe, the mental institution usually get an influx of patients over the weekend.

 

[Jason_B]

So I found a hole in the wall and tried to peer through it and see what the commotion was about. As soon as I did, a stick poked me in the eye and they started yelling: "14! 14! 14!"

 

[zambuca]

Yay I made the loonies change their number

(Oh....or does it mean that I'm one of them...one of them...one of them...)

 

[Nato_777]

Just threw mine over the wall.
