JUDGING
** Shortly after the contest closes, this thread will be closed as well.
** I will be calling upon 3 judges who will have the daunting task of selecting one submission for each of the 12 months.!!!
** Judging will be on the FIVE POINT system.
** Each of the three judges will award points, ranging from 1 to 5 for every entry submitted. These points will be added together to arrive at a final score. The maximum points possible will be 15. These will be then grouped into all the 15's, 14's 13's... and so on.
** The TOP 13 images will then be declared winners and announced as such. The 13th image is for the cover position (see below).
** In the event of tie scores AMONGST CONTENDERS, a quick 24 hour poll will be posted and all members will have the opportunity to vote their choice.
** Of these 13 winning entries, ONE will be chosen to be used for the honoured cover image. This will be a separate judging by our judges.
** I will notify each winner by PM and they will have 48 hours to send me a HI RES image to my e-mail address that will be given to them. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PM MAIL BOX IS NOT FULL!
** If you are asked for an image, please send me a HIGH RES jpg, tiff or png file.
** In the event I don't receive an image within the time frame, the next highest score will move up and take their place. This is necessary due to time constraints.
** For obvious reasons, judges are not permitted to enter this contest. I am also excluded from participation. 
NOTE: Slight changes to the rules may be necessary if I have omited anything.
IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL COMMENTS/CONSIDERATIONS
**ALL submissions MUST be landscape oriented ONLY**
**PROPORTIONATE Cropping of images is necessary. Please allow adequate space on all sides for this by having some free space on the image so portions of your car won't be cut off, that is unless that's what you intend to do like Moose did last year.**
**Images of open hoods/trunk lids are discouraged. Think about what you'd like to see on a PROFESSIONAL calendar**
**Use an image hosting site ONLY (Photobucket etc.) to post your images. Do not attach images. If you don't understand this, please send me a PM and I will sort you out personally**
**Images MUST be of high quality. Have a look at the file size!!! If it's under 1 MB, it's probably not going to be suitable. Set your camera to its HIGHEST setting!!!**
**Please take some time to review the Photography Tips HERE. Also read your camera manual!!!**
-- GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND LET'S HAVE SOME FUN HERE --
I'd like to personally thank ekool for allowing me to do this, so hat's off to the BIG guy eh!!!
Oh, and to all, feel free to post your comments in this thread!!!
