GOOD LUCK ALL !!!



RULES

>A thread for submitting entries will be posted to the forum on Monday 18th November and will remain open for members to submit images until midnight on Saturday 30th November. Any images posted after that deadline will be disqualified.
> No more than TWO entries permissible per member. If there are more than two entries for any one member the first two will stay and any later submissions will be disqualified - no negotiation!
> After the thread has closed for entries, a poll for member votes will run from Sunday 1st December until midnight on Saturday 7th December.
> There will be one vote only per member. Please do not vote for your own entry - it's bad manners!
> In the event of a tie, the tied entries will go to a staff vote to choose the winner.


Entries

> Submissions should be cropped to an A5 aspect ratio.
> The main part of the Christmas card design must consist of an image taken by you.
> You are responsible for ensuring that you have the correct usage permissions for any additional elements or embellishments that you add to your image.
> All entries must comply with the usual rules for images on TP.

> No pornography, no swearies and since this is in a public forum area nothing that may require a NSFW tag. . . basically don't submit anything that you wouldn't want your granny to see!
> Other than that there are no restrictions :
> Images from your archives as well as new images taken specifically for the competition are allowed.
> Any amount of PP, compositing, adding of text is fine . . . although simple and elegant has a place here too :)

* Entries not meeting these criteria may be disqualified
* Moderators' decisions in enforcing these rules will be final.



PRIZES

The winning member will receive 50 printed Christmas cards featuring their submitted design so that they can give their friends and family something really personal this year.

The Christmas Cards will be A5 size, either portrait or landscape. They will be printed on a high quality greeting card board, gloss laminated on the outside and supplied with envelopes.
You will also be able to choose your own wording for the inside of the card. For example, "Merry Christmas from the Smith family".

The winner will be required to provide a high resolution image sized to 210 x 148mm (portrait or landscape) at 300ppi resolution, along with the choice of wording for the greeting and a delivery address where someone will be available to sign for them.

* To give you time to write and send your cards before the last Christmas post this information must be provided as soon as possible after the announcement to allow for printing and delivery leadtimes.


The winning card will also be sent to all TP members as part of the December newsletter and will feature on the home page of the forum over the festive season.

I originally prepared this last year for a similar competition run by a local newspaper - problem was the competition was funded by Jessops who went bust before awarding the prize so judging never took place

Thought my laptop was decent enough to run photoshop. But when I changed this to 300ppi to have a play it REALLY slowed down!! then I looked at the file size. 70+mb!!!!!
