Ten-Tenths will be announcing an official "Photo Of The Year 2007" competition shortly.
If this is a success we may consider expanding it into a monthly contest for 2008 with an overall prize at the end of the year.

Is it now decided that everyone is treated the same and is judged purely on the photo, not the experience/occupation of the shooter? That will definitely be simpler to police and should stop protests as to am/pro status!

At the moment we are looking at:
- The competition is open to all registered users of Ten-Tenths Motorsport Forum.
- There is one "class", with no distinction between pro/am photographers.
- Each user may submit a maximum of two motorsport related photographs for judging.
- Photographs to be submitted by 30th November 2007.
- Photographs will be presented anonymously and in random order.
- Voting will start on 1st December and will finish at midnight FORUM TIME on 31st December.
- Photograph with the most votes will be named Photo Of The Year and will win a prize.
- In the event of a tie, the photograph with the most staff votes will win, if this is still a tie then the site owners will decide on the winner.
- All photographs must be taken by the entrant.
- By submitting your photograph you agree to allow Ten-Tenths to use the image for future promotion of the competition and/or site, including possible commercial/calendar use.
- Photographs must be submitted in a high resolution format (at least 1024x768)
- Post-processing and "photoshopping" are permitted.
Further details including how to submit, as well as a global announcement of the competition will be announced.
Prize will be the adulation of your peers for winning, 1 year "subscriber" membership of Ten-Tenths and also a nice engraved crystal trophy for the shelf.

Oh, I forgot to add - There is no age limit on the submitted photograph, it doesn't have to be taken in 2007 to be considered.

I prefer the term "benevolent dictatorship" myself although Ten-Tenths is actually a democracy, it's one person, one vote.*
*At the moment the one person is EvilPumpkin, she has the one vote!

Sounds good on the whole but I'm not wildly enthusiastic about this. Promotion of the site is one thing, commercial use is another.
Apart from it being open-ended, what about the IP ownership issues everybody goes on about relating to photos taken at circuits, and the agreements that might be in place.

This doesn't prevent this sub forum from having it's own monthly (or whatever is decided) competition . . .

It's pretty much covering ourselves if we decide to put 13 pics together for a 2008 calendar to sell, or if we decide to do something like a "Best Photo" Mug or beer tankard, that kind of thing.

There are plans for an official themed monthly contest for 2008 with an overall Photo Of The Year, depending on the response to this one. If you guys also want to run voting on a rotating subject then that's fine but I won't be dishing out prizes!
