The first prize for each category is a ticket for the Megalithomania Weekend in May, worth £80 each.
See our page here for this year's dates, venue and programme for Megalithomania.
This photo competition is now closed but please continue leaving comments and voting just for fun. You can score each photo from 1 to 10 out of 10, but only once for each.
Each category has runners up prizes of a £30 and £20 voucher to spend in our online shop. That's a total of £260 worth of prizes!
Closing date: 22nd of April 2007, voting will carry on until the 29th, and the winners will be announced on the 30th of April. Voting starts as soon as photos are up on the site so early birds have a real advantage in getting their photos up to collect more votes.
Rules
· Open to all Registered Members of the Megalithic Portal· You may enter a maximum of two photographs in each category (four total). Please label your photo with an informative caption and whether it is an entry for Category *A* or *B*.
· Photos do not have to be taken this Spring. They may be from any time of year, not just photos of springtime. You can also select to enter photos that you have already posted on the Portal as long as it has they have not been entered for a previous competition. Contact me to move an existing photo, using the 'Contact Editor' link to the left, or if you have any difficulties entering.
· Photos must be saved as .JPG. Size between 640x480 and 750x500 pixels (or near equivalent), and less than 200kB file size. See our FAQ for more help on this.
· Keep high resolution copies in your files. Publishers are buying more and more from the Portal now and there is potentially money to be made.
· We don’t really like photo editing, cheesy filters or other editing trickery. Simple things like cropping and brightness/gamma adjustment are encouraged but tweaking other parameters will be frowned upon, including upping the colour saturation for dramatic effect - we can spot this! Keep it simple – you can’t improve on nature’s colours.
· You must be the copyright holder. You retain copyright in your photo, but agree for it to be displayed on the Megalithic Portal and to be used in ways connected with the competition.
* You are encouraged to vote for your favourite photographs, but we can spot vote rigging and we reserve the absolute right to disqualify any photos where unusual voting patterns are seen. (Getting all your class or workmates to vote for you counts as vote rigging and will be spotted so please don't try it) The decision of the judges is final in all matters and no correspondence will be entered into.
Good luck!
