I know this is Saturday night but, please don't begin sending any entries until Sunday. I had an appandectomy on Friday and I'm in a liitle pain right now. But I DID promise to start this comp on Sunday so I'm posting the thread tonight as I'm not sure when I'll be back on tomorrow.

So go get some pictures of your favorite rally car at your favorite dirt/gravel track and send in your entry following the rules below. Since this is the first week, instead of me picking a Top 20, we'll just say that everyone that enters will be in the voting poll and we'll take it from there. So, THIS WEEK ONLY, please disregard the Top 20 rule. In the following weeks the winner will be picking the theme but someone else will be picking the Top 20. But please be aware that only 100 pictures can be put in the poll. So if you're not in the first 100 to enter you may not get entered.

Let's get started. Have some fun and send in those entries (but do not start sending until tomorrow).

ENTRY DEADLINE IS MAY 21 AT MIDNIGHT

The rules (very simple).....

1. ONLY photomode pictures will be accepted. NO Photoshop, Photosuite or any other kind of enhancements allowed. If your picture is found to be enhanced by ANY other means than what is available within GT4, your entry will be voided.

2. Use only your own pictures. If the picture you enter is found to be someone else's, your entry will be voided.

3. After you've taken you're best Rally picture, get it hosted by Imageshack. Here's a link to upload your picture to generate the thumbnail link that will be provided by Imageshack....

Attach a link to your picture using the one provided by Imageshack (Forum 1) AND also attach your picture AND your user ID to an email and submit it to:

GT4rallycomp@yahoo.com

(If you do not know how to attach a picture to your email, please contact me and I'll do my best to help. But most of the time your email provider will have step by step instructions on how to do this) PLEASE make sure that you have the Imageshack thumbnail link AND a copy of your picture AND your user ID attached to this email. The thumbnail link will be used if your picture is chosen to be in the Top 20 to be voted on in a poll posted after the entry deadline. IF EITHER ONE OF THE ATTATCHMENTS OR YOUR USER ID IS MISSING FROM YOUR EMAIL YOUR ENTRY WILL BE NULL AND VOID.

4. If you entry DOES NOT FOLLOW THE THEME OF THE WEEK, you will be notified and you will have ONE more chance to enter. If you submit a subsequent entry that does not follow the theme of the week you will be notified however, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED A THIRD CHANCE.

5. ONLY ONE ENTRY PER WEEK PER PERSON. ONCE A VALID ENTRY HAS BEEN RECIEVED IT MAY NOT BE CHANGED.

6. In the spirit of fairness, you MAY NOT post your ENTRY in a thread of any kind until AFTER the winner has been selected. If your ENTRY is found on any threads on the board during the entry and/or voting period, your entry will be voided even if it's in the Top 20. If you think you need help in choosing your entry please do so by using the PM (private message) feature here on the board.

EDIT: 7. A system will be used in which the winner of a each week's competition will choose the theme and Top 20 for the next week's competition however, the winner WILL NOT be allowed to re-enter the competition untill the following week. The Top 20 entries will be placed in a poll to select that week's winner by you and your peers.

8. ONLY competition entries will be accepted at this email address:

GT4rallycomp@yahoo.com

All others will be deleted

Thanks for the feedabck and good luck to everyone.
 
this is probably the fairest way to do it; no posting who did it, so user popularity isn't an issue that way.. i guess i'll start messing around in GT4 in a few hours.. heh.
 
What is the "Theme of the Week?"
Just any dirt or snow rally course/cars?

So if the photo is on any other posting (even not recent) it is ineligible?
What if you like a shot that you've already posted. Can you recreate the same scene in a new, unposted photo?

Thank you in advance for clarifying.

Theme is: ANY Rally car on a DIRT course.

Try and use a different shot than one that has already been posted. Recreating a shot will not produce the same shot so yes, a recreated shot would be acceptable. As long as you don't post it any where on the board until AFTER the poll has closed.

can i use a non-rally car on rally track?


In order to keep a fair playing field, I would say that it would be best to stick with the theme and use a Rally car.
 
can we post the ones we didn't choose? :D... since i already submitted mine ..

As long as we keep it to only one or two and they don't resemble the ones that you've entered I don't see a problem unless someone else does.

Dayum! If this is your third place, i'd hate to see your first place, if its better than this one, you'll have my vote for sure. Thats a sweet shot man. 👍
 
haha.. thanks, it probably wont be, considering that i took more the 'spirit of rally' into it instead of just an awesome shot... but it'll do :)
 
OK gang, it's Thursday and the deadline for the first ever totally anonomous Photomode competition is getting close. So, get the dust and cobwebs off those Rally cars, take them out on a dirt/gravel track and take a few pictures. Pick the one you think is best and send it in according to the rules posted at the beginning of this thread. You never know, you might win and get to pick the theme for next week. But, most of all, have fun with this.
 
or it would be my final entry if we posted in this area...not 2 some website where no on e acn see the pictures...no offence but isnt that the whole point?
 
it'll be shown when the voting goes, that way it doesn't become a popularity contest intead of a photomode contest, as some of the voters get partial to some peoples photos ^o)
