Autophotog Weekly Contest #6 - Groundhog Day - AutoPhotog : Photo Enthusiasts/Pros Forum

**The Contest Guru** · 01-26-2010, 12:12 PM

Weekly Contest #6 - Groundhog Day (please read theme section because the theme isn't about groundhogs)

RULES (PLEASE READ ALL OF THEM):
-Any interpretation of the theme that falls within Autophotog.com rules is welcome.

-You must be the person that took the photo. Previous photos are acceptable as long as you are the one that captured the image.

-One submission per contest.

-Images must be no larger than 800px in any direction. Links to larger images are allowed but you must have one that is under 800px for the poll. (This is so when we post the poll you can see each picture in its entirety without needed to scroll in any direction).

-All images must have a title. <---- DON'T FORGET!!!

-This week, minor cloning/touch up will be allowed however anything more than minor touch up (such as removing a major element of the photo - like a rig) will not be allowed.

-Remember, the goal of these contests isn't to win, or a popularity contest... It's to get you out there shooting different things, trying different techniques and furthering your skills as a photographer. However, should you happen to win, your winning photo will be posted into the AutoPhotog Photo Contest Hall of Fame and bragging rights will be yours. You MUST have at least 10 posts & be a member for 3 days to join the contest and to vote.

-The winner of the contest will PM me with the new contest theme for the next weeks contest. If a PM is not received, I will then choose the theme of the next contest for them.

*Any photo that does not meet the above requirements will be left out of the poll.*

THEME- Groundhog Day (Repetition)
THEME: For this contest we are venturing out of the automobile world (though car photos are still acceptable) and concentrating on repetition in honor of one of my personal all time favorite movies - Groundhog Day.
For those of you who might not have seen it (where have you been in the last 15 yrs?) The movie is about a weatherman who keeps repeating Groundhog day over and over until he goes from being a jerk to a nice person and gets the girl he wants.

For the contests its simple, we want to see repetition in the image - meaning 3 or more of the same item/object.
It's pretty simple but here are a few examples:

SUBMISSION PERIOD:
Entries must be submitted to The Contest Guru <<<THIS IS A MEMBER NAME (via PM) no later than Tuesday February 2nd (Groundhog day) @ 11:59PM CST. Any late submissions will not be included in the poll. We will start the voting on Wednesday February 3rd for an entire week.

-The winner will have a few days to contact me about the theme for the next weekly contest. It is important to do this as to keep the flow of the short contest going. If I post a new thread w/ a contest because I didn't hear from you, please don't be offended, we just need to move these along at a fast pace.

PRIZE:
-1 Copy of Groundhog day on DVD shipped to your residence

**PM format**
-Send to: The Contest Guru
-Subject: your photo title/contest name (Weekly Contest #2)<<<--- MAKE SURE YOU SAY IT IS FOR THE WEEKLY CONTEST IN THE SUBJECT OR IT MIGHT NOT MAKE IT TO THE POLL!
-Body: your pic (800x800 max)

Good luck everyone!
