The closing date and time, is 23:59 on the last day of each month. Entries recieved after this will be rejected.

Photos may include a simple border, but must have no naming, title, or visual copyright watermark applied, so as to keep up the anonymous nature of the competition. However, please specify your username when emailing your entry.

The aim of the competition is to improve your photography, so it is preferred if you submit a photo taken specifically for the competition. However, we will accept older shots that have not previously been used or displayed online.

Once the round has closed, all entries will appear in a gallery for everyone to browse.

How to vote : Please send the numbers of your favourite 3 photos, in preference order, by Private Message to the member of staff running the competition (This will be made clear in each months thread)

On the 7th of the month, voting will end and the results announced.
The entry with the most votes will become the winner, and recieve as a prize, a print of their winning shot, completely free, courtesy of Talk Photography, and printed by professional printers CoLab.

All scores will then be added to a running tally for the year, kept in a thread in the Competition Forum.

At the end of the year, the member with the most votes, will be crowned the TP Photographer of the Year!, and will recieve a prize pack, yet to be decided on.

Finally, good luck to ALL entrants, may you enjoy the competition, and the Talk Photography Forums.

Kind Regards

Scoring.

Scoring is simple. Members will send their choice of top 3, in order, to the round runner. A spreadsheet is then used to collect the votes, and finally award points. The top 10 will get the points, 10 down to 1, with every entrant receiving 1 point for entering. Shots finishing with level votes will be tied and receive the same points. These points are then added to the yearly totals.
