This contest would be open to everyone on the forum. You can submit as many photos as you'd like, but the one rule is they must be your photos. No stealing them from the net. The finalists would be displayed, and those would be voted on to get the winner. The winner of the contest would receive a mousepad with their winning photograph on it, and then other copies of that mousepad would then be for sale to everyone else. everyone likes Fiero mousepads, right? (I could have coffee mugs made at the same place too, but I'll think about that later on)
Comments on this idea? If there's enough interest, I'll get the ball rolling.. I have a place to store the photos, so I wouldn't be taking up a lot of space on the server here. p.s. I'd only make $0.50 from each mousepad sold, I just think it'd be a fun thing to do for the Fiero community!
They don't have to be professional quality, I'd love to see some action shots too..
right now I'm just looking to see how much support there is for this, I'll post another thread if this is a go, and list the conditions of the contest etc.
I don't want to have another thread of gwen stefani proportions here (the thread I mean, gwen herself is quite petite. ) so I'd like to have something similar to hotornot.com for the car pics on my server, and then the top 10 photos will be judged separately afterwards.. sound cool?
Ok, how about a new rule.. if a person wants to use several photos in a collage or composite, they must obtain written permission from the car owners. Just so no one gets mad if they see their car on a mousepad and didn't want it there.
I've got a few people to call, sounds like there's enough interest to get this going.. I'll keep everyone posted!
the contest is still a go.. however my supplier has doubled their prices on mousepads since I last checked. oops. the prize is now the winner's choice between a large color sticker with their picture, or a ceramic tile coaster with their picture on it.
email your JPG (no BMPs!!) photos to contest@digitalfusion.on.ca
Include your: -attached photo in JPG format -real name -forum nickname
You can submit as many pictures as you like, but only 1 at a time please.
The photo submission starts NOW, and ends at midnight on November 1st..
If you scan an image, or copy from a digital camera.. hold onto the original, I might ask the winner for a high-res version if required.
legal-type stuff: The winner of the photo contest will receive their choice of prize, as listed above (tile coaster or 3"x5" sticker) and afterwards, other products featuring the winning photo will be offered for sale to everyone. All submitted photos must be taken by the person submitting them, OR, must include written permission for use in this contest. Computer renderings/edits and collages are allowed too.
Here's how it works: At the end of the submission period, a group of finalists will be chosen.. Those images will be placed on a website, and everyone here will get the option to vote for their favorite photo. Whoever wins that, wins the contest. Simple as that!
CoolBlue87 has given me a good idea, can everyone list the email subject as "Contest" or "Photo Contest" so I can use a mail filter to route them to a new folder?
thanks, I've gotten some great submissions already!
CFOG-I had a photo contest and put the winning car and the owner's story on the cover of the newsletter. The members got to vote on the website for their favorite photo. It was fun. This should be fun too.

Yeah sure. I can do that here in the next day or so. It would probably be easier through AOL though. PM me if you want and we can figure something out. Later man. I think the car is about to go away for the year with this crappy weather just around the corner.
