POTM Rules and Guidelines

[Chris]

Welcome to Photo of the Month.

There will be varying themes throughout the year and every other month a free for all theme for all members to participate in! Each theme will be announced on a month by month basis! The Winner of each month will have their photo displayed on the forum Instagram page! Their avatar will be altered to show their accolade! And the photo will be entered into the Photo of the Year!

Photos from all types of cameras are allowed (inc camera phones), as we want to encourage spontaneity with entries - and where themes are involved, sometimes it's the quick snaps that can yield the best results!

A few rules:

• You may only enter your pictures that you have taken, or pictures of your car with photographers permission! (IE: No google images!)
• Only Renaults (preferably Clios)
• There will be an annual "Photo of the year"
• A person can post more then one picture in a thread however its the first picture they show will be the entry and one entry per person
• Minor editing/enhancing only (this will be on a discretionary basis - this is not a photoshop competition, however there may be a theme for this)

New rules to consider surrounding when the picture was taken.

• On the free for all theme only new pictures taken on the month count this will give a wider scope and more "spontaneity"
• The "Themed" months can have a previously used picture if it meets the criteria of the above rules and it matches the theme

Please note that after reviewing feedback from forum members and considering the entries made into POTM, we have made a slight alteration to the rules. The significant changes relate to when the photos are taken (the final paragraph of the above post).
