COMPETITION RULES

• Captions must be in text format only. Weblinks can be included as part of a sentence, but captions must include some text and may not simply be a link to a picture.
• All captions must comply with the forum rules. Captions deemed to be inappropriate e.g. explicit sexual references, offensive comments etc. may be disqualified.
• All moderation staff can delete any posts for any reason. All entries are subject to approval by the moderation staff and all moderating decisions are final.
• The winners of each round of a season will be invited to a conversation where they can nominate pictures to be used for future rounds. All photos must be submitted of the current race before the moderator has posted the photo for the round. It is at the moderator's discretion to choose one of the submitted images or select another if they do not deem the nominated photos appropriate.
