Photo Of The Month Rules

[dgaddis1]

How it works:
Every month I will create a thread so people can submit photos. At the end of the month I’ll set up a poll, everyone votes on their favorite. Pretty simple.

Here’s the full rules:

• All photos must be submitted by the 3rd of the following month (ex: January photo’s must be submitted no later than Feb 3)
  
• Each user can only submit ONE photo per month. You can change the one you submit by editing your post (click the 'modify' button) with the photo in it (if for example you post a photo early in the month, but then later take a better one and want to submit it instead). Whichever photo is displayed on the 3rd is the one that will get voted on.
  
• Please include related info when you submit a photo (location, riders pictured, event name, etc)
  
• Voting will run for 7 days, and will usually start on the 4th of the following month.
  
• The winner will e-mail me a high resolution copy of the photo, along with any related info.
  
• You must have a high resolution copy of the photo so they look good if/when printed. Cell phone pics beware. The high resolution does not need to be posted to the forum obviously.
  
• You can only submit photos you took yourself.
  
• By submitting the photo you give SORBA-CSRA permission to use it.
  
• Photos must be taken during the month they are submitted (no snowy January pictures submitted in July).
  
• Photo must be taken in the CSRA and related to cycling. Does not necessarily have to be a shot of someone riding, or even a trail. Here’s just a few of many possible subject examples:
  

• Someone riding a trail
  
• Picture of a trail
  
• Workparty
  
• Pavel riding
  
• A picture taken at an event such as an Explore the Trail ride, Bike Fest, Baker’s Dozen, Canal Crown, Lock to Lock, Best Dam Ride, etc

Any questions?

About this time next year maybe we'll do something cool with all the POTMs

When you mention the picture must be from the same month, does that mean it could be from the same month but different year?

I can go either way on that. I like the idea of using any pic taken during the month reguardless of year, but I also like having only current pics.

What does everyone else think?

I like past years also. I know MD has some awesome pics from the past that I personally believe would be awesome in a calendar.

It doesn't make much difference to me, but if the idea is to do something cool with the previous year's POTMs, then it makes sense that the photos ought to have been taken in that previous year.
