The Energon Pub

It's that time again, my friends. So get your camera ready and start racking your brain for ideas, because the September PhotoContest is upon you.


This Month's contest theme:

Out of the Box: What do Transformers do when you’re not around to play with them?

Your challenge this month my fellow Seibertronians is to depict your Transformers in the real world; at work, at home, the grocery store, anywhere! Just generally causing havoc in their wake, be it accidental or (he he) intentional. So grab your cameras and get going!

It's a big world out there for small toys.

This Month's Contest Theme was provided by ionacus.

Dates to remember:

This Contest starts September 3rd.
The Contest thread will be open for actual entries on September 16th-22nd.
There will be a one week deliberation for judging and results will be announced on September 28th.
Winners will receive Custom Signatures by our very own Sunstar with their winning entries.

Please go to this thread to discuss the contest, view the rules and new procedures, submit any feedback, and all suggestions for further contests:

I'm fairly new here, but are there any prizes or is this a fun community thing?

For this I'll bust out props

I make a signature for you.

For example:

That's what we like to see!

I play warhammer and I Convert models. However, female models have been popping up here and there.... I wonder why...

Sweet, I got my idea. I'll just have to shoot it. Grooo-vy!

Yeah... I'm finally around for the Photocontest. Hopefully, my idea works. BTW, is caption allowed?

Although no altercations of the photo are allowed, it is permissable to manually create a paper one or whatever to add into the photo or to place one under it when you submit your photo.

Hmm. I may just have to give this a shot this time. Maybe, we'll see...

Damn, so I can't set this out at the APEC meeting in Sydney?

I may have to give this one an entry, it's about time I stopped being so lazy.

The contest doesn't officially take "entries" until the 16th? I take it this is to prevent "copying"?

Gonna have to think about this one, but the "set" shouldn't be much of a problem!

Not entirly, butt that's a definite bonus. The main puropose was to prevent people from taking up discussion in the entry thread like last time.

Too bad. I can see it now. Howard, Bush, and Leader-class Brawl positioned to look like he's stomping them. If you managed to pull that one you would have gone down a god.

Technically you could if you positioned the shot just right.

lol. That'd be awesome.

See that Trunksie? Permission from the Mods

So on the 16th, do we post our submissions here, or will there be a new submission thread?

Another question: This theme places Transformers as TOYS this time right? Not giant robots in the city I assume?

Right. TOYS in the REAL world.

New thread.

Will the Entry Thread be newsified when it comes out? It would help to boost awareness and remind people about the contest.

Welcome. I look forward to seeing the entries to this contest.

Unfortunatly we'll have to wait another week.

I think I may make a few photos for fun, even though I have a crappy camera.
