It's coming back my fellow Seibertronians!

The PhotoContest!

And we've added a new twist. Each contest will follow the same basic concepts of the old contest. However, instead of three of the staff members soley deciding the winners one of you will be chosen every months to be a guest judge along with me and one other staff member, Calenatarion.

So here's your chance to be apart of it!

If you want to be a guest judge for the upcoming and future contests post you name here!

The way in which a name will be chosen will be completly random. Once you have been a guest judge though, you will not be considered to be on for a future contest and will be taken from this list.

If you have any questions please feel free to PM me and I will do my best to answer them.

Thanks and remember to have fun!

Guest Judge

For the July chapter of the Seibertron.com's PhotoContest our guest judge will be...

Decepticon Spike

Congradulations Decepticon Spike!

The theme of the contest will be announced later tonight!

The original person selected for the Guest judging post declined the position so the runner up recieves the spot.

Sure, Count me in!

Also, can you please move the Photo Contest Discussion thread in TF General Discussion to the Toys Forum Neko. (if this is indeed where the contest is going to be posted in again) Thanks!

Just a few questions about the rules:
1) Backgrounds CANNOT be screens, right? But say you printed out the image and stuck it to a Bristol board behind the figures and snapped a photo - is that acceptable?

2) Are we allowed to use Transformer figures that we've customized?

1)Hm...never thought about that. I don't see why you couldn't. So yeah.

2)Yes. Kickbashes and customs are all acceptible.

I'll be posting the contest rules later tonight so stay tuned for those.

Thanks, I look forward to reading them!

I just remember someone complaining some other time about how the rules didn't specify or something like that.

Cool just checking.

Oh, and one more thing:
Has a subject been decided yet, or are you guys still taking idea suggestions?

I don't mind being a guest judge, as long as I get to use the ugly Quintesson face when I say a picture is guilty.

I haven't decided on a specific idea as of yet.

You can add suggestions in this thread here:

And while it is allowed, I am going to discourage useing the printed pout backgrounds. They rarely ever come out well and tend to make the photo itself rather sloppy. However it's you're choice and if you can do it and make it look awesome; more power to you.

I'd like to be a guest judge at some point, if that's ok.

Don't worry, I'm not considering it. I was only asking if it was, is all. :PEACE:

Hey Neko, when did this happen? I'm still interested in helping out. Either Judging or as part of the Staff. PM me if you want me to do anything.

I'd like to be a judge. I have entered photo contests here before and I know what to look for. Better yet, I'll respond right away so it won't take weeks to get my scores.
