January 2014 Picture of the Month - Submissions due Jan 19 7PM PST

[Finnegan]

Yes, it's winter, but break out some old shots, or, take a "Z in the Snow and Ice" shot!

POTM submissions are due Sunday January 19 at 7PM Pacific Time.

Reminder: It's the submitters' responsibility to ensure submissions are within the max dimensions and in the correct format, and follow submission guidelines below.

Photo Submission Requirements

• Send photos via email to zpostpotm at gmail dot com.
  
• Subject line must have "POTM plus user name". Please tell me who you are so I can credit the photo.
  
• Zpost User name, Year / Engine / and Color in email body
  
• Picture dimensions can be max of 1024x768 (filesize of up to 900kb using JPG). Pictures can use smaller edge sizes, this is simply the maximum size.
  
• JPG format only (not JPEG) only. The Forum software does not support large filesizes for JPEG, and compresses data, which reduces quality. This means that the file extension should show as .jpg.
  
• One picture only
  
• Max filesize of 900kb (JPG only)
  
• Only photos that have not been submitted before (no previously submitted photos).
  
• If you won last month you're not eligible to enter this month so others have a chance.

FAQ

1) Can we photoshop pictures?
Yes but anything so drastic where the photo just looks unrealistic isn't what this thing is about. Either way, the way I see it is that members will vote based on what they think really captures the essence of the car.

2) Can we submit multiple photos per entry?
No, only one picture per month, but you are allowed to participate in multiple months.

Are you guys still doing this? It doesn't look like the POTM has been posted for awhile.

Bump! Still lots of time.

I know it's winter, but folks have to have some pictures from last summer or fall they haven't submitted yet. If you do, well, now is the time to send one!
