Seibertron.com's 2007's Official Photocontest #1: The History Class
Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2007 2:44 pmFinally, the long awaited Photocontest is back.
RULES:
1) Size Limit 640*480. - The topic would be murder for 56kers if there wasn't
a size limit.
2) Keep it relevant - Make sure the picture has some relevance to the
contest.
3) PG-13 - As amusing as robot sex scenes may seem to some people, this site
does have an age limit.
4) Time Limit - The contest will last for 3 weeks. When that time is over,
judging will commence, and last for 1 week. Results will be posted a day or
two after judging is finished.
5) One person, one entry - Obvious. Only one entry per user. Don't make
multiple accounts just to get multiple entries.
6) No Photoshop - Again, obvious. This is to test your photography skills,
not your photoshopping skills.
7) Captions - You can put captions under your photo if you want, but they
will not add or subtract points from your score.
TFs only! - Unless stated otherwise, use only TF figures. Any generation
will do. Statues are allowed too, and customs. TF related figures, like the
human figures from the BTA series, are allowed too. No Gobots!
9) Artificial Support - If you need to support your figures, feel free to do
so, but be careful, if the support is visable, points will be deducted.
10) Remove your sig! - When posting, remove your signature, so the topic
doesn't get cluttered!
11) JPEGs only! - Make sure your picture is a JPEG, so it isn't too big.
12) Dead link, dead entry - When judging time comes around, if your
picture's link is dead, you'll be disqualified. So make sure nothing happens
to your hosting site.
13) Comments should be posted in the commentary thread. so as too keep this thread clutter free.
14) No re-entry - Once you've submitted a picture, that's it! You can't go
back and change your submission! Think carefully before posting. If you need
help with your pic, post it in the commentary thread and ask for help.
Photos will be judged on 5 criteria, each out of 10:
Visibility - How clear the photo is. Background/Foreground contrast, etc.
Creativeness - Make your TFs do something interesting. Don't stand there!
Scene Layout - Make sure your TFs aren't huddled together or miles apart.
Also, try to take advantage of any surrounding scenery.
Theme - High points if you manage to easily convey what is happeniong in
your scene, low points if you don't.
The whole thing - How the judge feels about the picture as a whole. Is there
a TF being cut off the side, is it too hard to make out what you're trying
to achieve? These are determined here. (aka: opinion)
An average is then gotten from these five, then a total average from the
five judges is counted up to get the score.
The prize? Well, our very own Sunstar will make you a special, unique
signature, with your own entry on it, showing which posistion you came in.
Of course, this is only available to the people who came in the top 3.
