June 2014 Picture of the Month - Submissions Open!

[Finnegan]

June is open for POTM submissions Particpation was great last month, let's see if it can be even better this month!

POTM submissions are due Sunday June 22 at 9PM Pacific Time.

Reminder: The forum software is pretty picky about photo type, size, and other things. That means there are some rules to follow, but they're not really that hard. Basically, use JPG, and 1024x768 dimensions. Larger than that, or other formats, the forum software will not post the photo.

Photo Submission Requirements

• Send photos via email to zpostpotm at gmail dot com.
  
• Please tell me your user name so I can credit the photo: User name, Year / Engine / and Color
  
• 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
  
• 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. Participation in multiple months is encouraged!

Okay guys, I just noticed these three. I'll include them in the next month's entries. Too much going on around me at the moment to stay on top of everything.
