Rules And Conditions

Please read these carefully and adhere to them

• I strongly encourage you to post work that is original to this challenge, in other words — take a new photograph instead of using an old one.

• No more than 3 entries will be considered, if you post more than 3 then only the first 3 will be considered.

• All entries must be a post tagged both #photography and #steemitphotochallenge

• The Title should contain "SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry" along with the title of your work.

• Let us know the medium used to produce the photograph, it may be more impressive based on what it is.

• Basic processing is allowed. ‘Digital art’ won’t be considered.

• Any medium or format is allowed — iphone, ipad, film, digital, point and shoot, drone, whatever. Once it takes a picture. Note that image quality will be considered.

• Multiple Entries can all go in one post, just put the details under the image.

• Any attempt to steal others' work is considered a serious infraction by the community, so don't do it. Please don't waste your and our time by posting some image from the net.

• Every effort will be made to ensure that we do not reward theft. All images will be reverse checked, if the image has been found on more than 2 “major” websites, it will be disqualified unless reasonable proof can be shown to prove ownership of the original. If there is any doubt whatsoever about the ownership of the photograph, I reserve the right to disqualify the image. It is in your interest to provide any proof necessary. I would appreciate any help from the community in finding plagiarism where I might have missed it.

• The photographs will be judged on how well they met the challenge, the quality of the image, the composition, lighting, exposure, creativity and the general aesthetics which means that yes, it is subjective.

^{By entering this competition you acknowledge that you own the rights to the photographs and allow for me to re-post the image should it receive a winner or honourable mention position.}
