Now Open for Entries for the TP Banner!

Each month we are asking you to post a photo that you think deserves that top slot on the FB page, that you can share and brag about to your friends. The winner will be chosen by member vote and the winning photo will be there for all to see for a month. You don't have to have a Facebook account to enter of course, the competition will take place here and just the winning photograph will be added to the Talk Photography facebook page. [give us a LIKE if you haven't already please]


Of course there have to be a few simple rules and here they are.

  • The photo you submit MUST be cropped to this ratio > 851px x315px - This is where the challenge will lie, finding the right photo for such a ratio and avoiding the main focus being on that left hand side. Any photos not to this ratio will unfortunately not feature in the voting.
  • You will have one week each month to submit your photo and voting will be open for one week afterwards.
  • By submitting your photo, you are granting TalkPhotography permission to use that image for a month on the Talk Photography Facebook page and a post promoting the fact you have won within the status updates on the page.
  • The Talk Photography facebook page is an open, public page, so we must ask that all photos are 'family' friendly. [in other words, use your common sense ;) ] but other than that, the theme is totally open, unless otherwise stated for particular months.
  • You may add a small lower/upper right hand corner watermark if you wish, but no great big ones that cover/distort the photo or generally spoil the viewing experience.

So, here we go with this months, you are submitting photos that will feature on the page in July, so you have from now until midday, Sunday 21st June [ish] to get your entries in. The voting will then be open for 7 days, so our winner can be announced and added to the page. Post them in this thread please and don't forget that crop ratio.

We run this every month so it is worth remembering when you are taking photos to perhaps think about framing the odd picture to suit this crop with an entry in mind.

Good luck everyone :D


To demonstrate how the banner will look, including the left hand profile picture which obscures some of the image, here is how it looks featuring a previous winner.

I may be missing something but how do you actually vote?
 
Could the voting be the number of Likes a photo gets? I received a message asking me to vote and the link was to this page.
 
I received a pop up link to this page too.
Might be a good idea to have added a link here to the page where we can vote.

So why are we getting pop ups telling us that our votes are urgently required now?

My pop up said go to this thread to get your ENTRIES in... they may have changed it since you read it mind. Voting will start when Yv puts the voting options up either in this thread or a new one.
