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 May/June, so you have from now until midday, Thursday 21st May 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.

Some fantastic entries to choose from this month! (y)
 
Unable to insert an image, for some reason.

@MrHappySnapper You need to upload the image to somewhere like flikr or better still here in the TP gallery then link to it in your post. In theory this months entries have closed but that won't matter as it's just for fun, so just try to upload and post it before Yv comes along and sets things up for voting.

Sugar, didn't realise i could vote for three so i only voted for one and it won't let me vote again, never mind.
 
Damn it forgot to vote.... and forgot to spread the word to get people to vote.

Can you broadcast a message to all members for votes? ;)

Might get a few more voting and entering :D

It is a poor turn out of both entries and votes, it would be good to push this more next time.

Suggestions? Its posted to homepage, stickied, mentioned on fb page and always gets a push in the newsletter? Ideas very welcome (y)
 
OMG how many entries! Fantastic!!!! Now to vote....[emoji16]
