This years categories are the same as last time, but we have added a VIDEO category. Prizes for each category are listed.

Instead of submitting your photos into this thread you submit them into the individual category threads. This makes things much easier for everyone! Rules and Instructions: -Post your photos with caption in the photo gallery and then embed them into your reply in the category submission threads. -Photos posted in photo gallery must be appropriately named including title, description, and keywords. -Winning photos from previous years contests CANNOT be submitted. -Only one photo per category per person, so that means only 7 max. -Video submissions need to have cc.com's logo at the end. -Contest is only open to users currently registered on cc.com as of today (today as in the day I posted this and not the day you read it) -No Photoshoped photos except for the Humor category. Stiching, color adjustments, and border effects are fine. -Entries will be accepted for 3 weeks (maybe longer if we feel like it). -Top entries will be decided by a group of volunteer users and those finalists will be voted on for one week by all cc.com users. -Rules and instructions are subject to change. Final Submission Date is Feb 24thMarch 4th March 15th! *Subject to course availability. Email us for questions. ^Winner picks size and color Edited March 12, 2013 by jon Quote
