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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
