<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 380191, member: 6641&quot;]<b><span style="color: black">This contest is closed - way to go Cheryl!!</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: red">Note: The big change is you must still take the digital photo yourself but the final image you submit does not have to have the camera properties. If that is the case, then send me the original photo and the picture you are submitting that uses an aspect of the original photo to me. Some editors do not maintain the properties so this should make it easier to submit something that will be accepted.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As many know I enjoy photography and art. This contest will test your ability to show your creative side. Here are the rules:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>Take a <b>Digital</b> photo of coins and/or currency from any country issued by a legitimate government. Tokens and fantasy currency will not be accepted. Official Commemorative Coins will be accepted as it applies to the rules above.</li> <li>The picture cannot be just a standard plain picture like what is used on CT - there must be a creative element to it</li> <li>You must email me the actual digital photo <span style="color: red">(<b>EDIT:</b> </span><span style="color: red">and the final version of the photo in the event your photo-editor does not maintain the camera properties) </span>to verify the <span style="color: red">original photo</span> properties - PM me and I will give you the email address to send the photo to. my work email has a much larger capacity so this would be preferred to my home email.</li> </ul><p>Note - You can view properties of the file as shown here - the photo must be taken with a digital camera and the properties must be available to verify authenticity</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee123/USS656/picdata.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><ul> <li>The photo can be edited using photo-shop like applications but <span style="color: red">the original file must be sent and contain</span> its digital photo properties. Flatbed scanners and 35mm photos converted to digital form will not qualify.</li> <li>Two entries per CT member - no exceptions / no exclusions</li> <li>You can choose to (or not) post your image in this thread during the contest - all accepted photos will be posted at the end of the contest.</li> <li>I will email you to notify you if the photo meets the contest criteria</li> <li>Entry ends at 4pm EST June 9th 2008 - If you do not hear back from me within 24 hours on a submitted photo please PM me to notify me. All valid entries will be posted that evening.</li> <li>Winners will be selected by a three member panel of judges (Wife, 8 year old Son, Me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) and the photos selected by the three of us will be drawn from a hat to determine a single winner. As each of us may select the same photo there may be anywhere from one to three entries for the final drawing. One person may have multiple entries in the final drawing in the event both submitted photos are selected by different judges. All three of us will select independently and without discussion or influence. The winner will be announced by 8PM EST on June 10th 2008.</li> <li>I stress that you must own the rights to the photo used and have taken it yourself!</li> </ul><p>For the winner - a set of brand new <b>Digital</b> Callipers. These are in an unopened plastic bag in the case. I bought two sets of these back in November and the winner will get the second set as a prize. I had my set calibrated to verify the quality of the measurements! Note - The set you receive will not be calibrated. They are a great tool and can be used not only for our hobby but in many other applications.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good Luck and please enjoy the process of being creative and showing off our hobby in an artistic form that extends beyond that of the coins and/or currency. Please PM or post any questions and I will clarify as quickly as possible.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Best Regards ~ Darryl</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee123/USS656/Cal5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee123/USS656/Cal6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
