Photo: Contest.

In honor of reaching my 1000th tweet
I have decided that I want to launch a photo contest.

very simple, very straight forward:

"Send me your favorite photo" 

Thats it! be it conceptual, non conceptual,
 black & white, portrait, child, pet,
macro, abstract, product, 
even design is accepted !
anything, the list can go on forever!!!
no rules no guidelines !
the sky is your limit!!!
Whether you are an amateur, or a professional..
 you are welcome to join..

The winner will win 3 action packs for photoshop
*all created by me*
(GIMP may also be available upon request)
+ will receive a 75% discount on any product.

Action Packs:

1. Greyscale:


2. Dry Tears:


3. Purpleberry Macaroons:


~

This is how it goes:

1. Send me as many pictures as you like to
(if you send more than 3 pictures, the best 3 will be considered )
(the best 3= the 3 with the highest score)

* adding a description is welcome but not a must
* you may send actual pictures or links to pictures
I accept anything I'm not picky, 
as long as I can view it
I'm ok with anything..

2. Each email will get a response..

* You will get a detailed critique of each picture sent
* Each image is rated out of 100:
(you will be told your score)

- 5 points: first impression
- 50 points: Idea
- 25 points: composition
& placement 
- 10 points: Tones, colour,
& overall colour seperation 
and saturation
- 10 points: finishing touches 
& overall cleanliness of the image.

**Extra 5 points bonus for description and how well its presented !
because sometimes its not the idea, its how its presented !!

3. If you wish to be kept anonymous 

* send me the links to the pictures you'd like to submit through formspring
click here
* once you submit the links sort these animals in whichever order you like:
then add them under your links

Rabbit, Cat, Butterfly, Dog
then add any 4digit number

for example: cat, butterfly, rabbit, dog 3341

(if the space isn't enough use bit.ly to shorten your links)

* the reason I ask this is if you win, to claim your prize,
 this will be your password to put into the email you will send.
so that I know its you and not someone claiming to be you.

4. Each applicant has the right to chose 2 out of 12 actions.
or a 10% discount

* I'm giving out 3 action packs, each comes with 4 actions.

* The winner will receive all 3 with no extra charge
and a 75% discount.

* Second place will get a choice of 2 of the 3 sets 
and a 50% discount if he/she choses to purchase the other one
(or on any other product: this includes but is not limited to
photoshoots, designs, future or previous action packs... etc. )


* Third place will have to chose one of the 3 sets 
with a 30% discount if he/she choses to to buy the extra sets 
(or any other product: same as above)

* Each contestant gets a choice of 2 actions from any set they wish 
(they can mix and match from any of the packs)
In the email with the picture they should state which ones they would like

*They will receive the actions in the response email

* If you chose to be anonymous, 
you forfeit your right to these action packs
and discounts.

*Should you chose not to want an action pack, 
you may receive a 10% discount on any product 
(same as above)

* You may take one action + 5% discount.

5. The deadline

* The deadline for submission is the 15th September 2011

winners will be announced by the end of the month.
