AOL Community Photo Challenge - Part Deux
Welcome back to all our Photo Challenge
participants! We hope you all had a great summer and took LOTS of
photos for sharing. Things are changing here at the Photo Challenge and
we want to lay out all the ground rules for the New and Improved
Challenge!
First of all...there will be no judging
by a panel of judges. This year, our panel will select a number of
photos to be voted on by all our readers. A poll will be created so
that folks can vote for their favorites. The number of entries that are
included in the poll will depend on how many entries we have...and is
subject to change.

Guidelines for entering:
1. Challenges will again be bi-weekly.
2. Any photos submitted must be taken by
you--the person participating. If you are IN the photo, it must be a
self portrait (tripods are great for this!).

4. The poll will be posted on the Friday after the deadline, and voting will end on Sunday night. The winner(s) will be announced on Monday.
5. ENTRIES: All entries need a link to
JUST the entry, not to your entire journal. The link (PERMALINK to the
entry--NOT your entire journal) should then be posted to the comments
section of the Challenge announcement. This will guide folks back to
view your entry and give you exposure.

6. Entries in your journal must indicate
in the subject that it IS an entry for the challenge. ALL entries must
be new posts--for the purpose of entering the challenge. Please don't
link to an old entry in your journal...if you want to re-post a photo
for an entry, make it a new entry with reference to (and a link to) the
Challenge. Remember--if you are placing more than one
photo in the entry, the top/first photo will be the one that counts, so
place them accordingly.

in the event they win. No further permissions will be requested and the
only use of these images will be to display them as winners.

To all photographers...we want this
challenge to be fun AND educational. Please stretch your abilities and
add to your bag of tricks for your entries. From time to time, we'll
write about some new (and timeworn) techniques for your enlightenment.
We also welcome suggestions...so write to Marie (MarieBM56@aol.com) and Vicki (cmishvicki@aol.com) with your comments and suggestions.
