Dear SimplyDiscus Membership,
We will be accepting photo's for June's photo contest starting tomorrow, June 1. We had good participation in May's contest with the voting hot and heavy on a couple of the photos. Thanks to all who participated and congrats to Ryan (rdiscus) for winning that contest.
The theme for June is Planted Tanks and here's a chance to showcase those planted tanks. Remember that the photos must contain discus, after all this is a discus forum :D. Last month we had some members submit more then one photo and the member was asked to select one photo for the contest. So only one photo per member please. Also please provide your name and SimplyDiscus username so we can use a person's SD handle vs their first name, last initial.
The prize for this month is 1/4 lbs of Super Beef heart flake from Bill of Inland Empire Discus http://www.inlandempirediscus.com/. Bill will also upgrade the prize to 1/2 lbs for $10 (paid by the winner). Thank you Bill for the fantastic prize.
Rules for submissions:
1) You must be the person that took the picture and has permission to use it.
2) You must email a high resolution image to us at the provided email address. Your submission gives us permission to use the photo for this contest, host it on an offsite location and post it in a poll on Simply Discus. Please provide name and SimplyDiscus username as part of the submission.
3) IF a photo is required you will provide a single image, no videos will be allowed unless the theme for that month is "videos". Please only submit one photo or video for any theme.
4) Images may be cropped and have routine Post Production carried out, for example white balance adjustment, exposure adjustments, lens corrections and general tone adjustments. Unless otherwise specified images may not be significantly modified by excessive cloning or compositing.
5) Ideally 10 Mbs as an image size maximum should be the goal. Images that are too large will be returned to the submitter for resizing.
6) No watermarks or names can be shown on the picture.
7) Images that are submitted can not have been posted here on Simply or anywhere else.
