First of all, welcome to the GT5 Photomode Tournament. I hope you enjoy this competition.

I’ll have to state that, vigilance in this competition will be high - going against the spirit of the competition (i.e. cheating, swaying polls, creating multiple accounts to vote) will result in disqualification. Please, keep it clean.

There will be prizes for both PMC and 2.0 sides:

Prize List - PMC/2.0:

Third Place:
Hall of Fame representation;

Second Place:
Hall of Fame representation;

First Place:
Hall of Fame representation;
Tournament images will be featured as banners for a next tournament;

 
It's already time? :eek:

Totally forgot about it.....
But I will be prepared for it. Even though the UEFA Euro 2012 knocks at the door and BF3 close quarters is out.....I will compete again.
Well, I have to as champion, right!? ;)

Good luck everyone and lots of fun.
 
Alright! :D

But, I'm gonna wait for others to send their entry. :nervous:
 
Question: We need to choose PMC/2.0 side or we can post one photo for each? That part did confuse me.
 
For the qualifier all entries do make it to the poll if they are within the rules, then after voting only the top 16 or 32 (if there's enough entries) for each side go on to Round One.
From then on all entries from the remaining participants go into each poll in their head to head matches until they are eliminated. So yes as long as you are still in the game you will make the poll. :)
 
last 2 times i had the luck to compete against bmxmitch and Moglet ... ohh joy

this time i probably compete against revolution or splitztrem or gtuned xD


i hope i find the time for this .

wish me luck xD
 
Entry submitted as well. Now I can open entries P.M.s :P

EDIT: Everyone who submitted should have received a P.M. stating if the image is or not within rules.
Also, to newcomers, and users who normally don't use Photoshop, I recommend entering the PMC side.

I had boab 1st round last time -_-
 
Which side to choose? What a dilemma!
PMC side means to take a photo perfectly wthout any editing.
2.0 side means to compete with the god and titans.
It's up to me and you…:nervous:

The only thing I can say is choose the best for you. :P

Either way I wish you did not like my opponent. :lol::lol:
 
Lol, from my experience and observation.

2.0= Easy to pass qualifying round, hard to get into the next round. :scared:
PMC= Difficult to pass, easy to get into the next round.

Probably going to stick to 2.0 after all.
 
I can't help myself - I have to go 2.0 :D
Besides my photography sucks so I'd get murdered in PMC. :)
 
Yeah PMC is a tough nut to crack. I think I will have a better shot with 2.0 anyway. I've got some free time today so I hope to turn something out.
 
Wow wow wow !
Already the new tourney ?
I don't have much time these days but I'll try to have an entry in 👍
 
Just sent my final entry on the 2.0 side off the Luis, looking forward to seeing what everyone else can come up with :D
 
I really can't think of a subject for this, out of all the cars, tracks/locations and filters to use i have absolutely no idea what to shoot:lol:
 
I finally sent my 2.0 entry. :nervous:
Hope it attracts votes like hotcakes!

I know what you mean, much rather have a theme to work on, might use one one of my rejects from Season 3
