This News Article will be updated over time with prizes and additional info, please refer to it before submitting an entry.


Rules


•Your photograph(s) should be submitted to Contests & Projects > Contests > 2009 > What Makes You Smile

•Your photograph(s) should be NO LESS than 500 pixels on each side

•Your photograph(s) should be NEW, i.e. made for the sole purpose of this contest and submitted after the announcement of this contest.

•You are permitted to enter up to two entries per entrant.

•Diptychs will be allowed (no Triptychs) – i.e. placing two photographs side by side to either help enhance your image, convey your concept or to be used as juxtaposition.

No PhotoManipulations will be accepted – i.e. merging two or more photographs or adding additional elements to create one image.

MINOR darkroom enhancement is allowed – i.e. curves, brightness, contrast, colour balance, black and white. NO SPOT COLOURING.

•Textures are NOT allowed. The aim is to have your piece as natural as it can be.

•You must also comment on your entry/entries, giving a brief explanation about your concept.

•No Mature Content or Artistic Nudes will be allowed as this is a contest open to any age range.

•You MUST provide exif data, either it is included with the upload under camera settings (to the right in your comment box) or you must manually write it in your comment box.

•I did not think I would be saying this but this is a photography contest, please do not take a photo of a painting you did or a traditional piece, or a screen shot, your image should be a photo not a photo of another genre of art.  

Failure to comply with these rules will result in disqualification – without warning.




Guidelines


The aim of this contest is to portray whatever it is that makes you smile, get all tingly inside, give you butterflies,  whatever it is that brings a smile on your face.

The challenge is that you will not only be showing us what makes you smile, you must also be able to make me (FaMz), Levi (BeehiveStudio) (and possibly other judges – you will be informed if more are added) and the viewers crack a smile. We should all be able to feel or relate to the same emotion as you do.

How to Smile :giggle:

Smile :D

How to Develop Concepts :)

Some of these links may be witty or you might find them silly or humouros, but hey do whatever you can to get ideas. No idea is a silly one ;P And no you don't actually have to include a smile in it, it doesn't even have to be from your perspective either, think beyond that, think beyond different.
