Photo Contest Entry Thread: July 2010 "Why I Can't..."

[valanhb]

The theme for July 2010 is: Why I can't...

The premise is to use photographic evidence of why you can't do something around your house.

If you have questions about the contest, please see this thread for ideas. It's an older thread so some of the links may be broken but you'll get the idea as well as laughing hysterically!

This month's contest is dedicated to our wonderful moderator, Gayef, who has been dealing with some serious health issues. We hope to get her back with her wonderful sense of humor soon!


Basics:
NO CATS CAN BE HARMED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS CONTEST! Mildly annoyed, yes, but not actually harmed (pretty much goes without saying).


1. Only one entry per month, but you can change your mind and submit a different photo during the submission period.
2. No photo that has been featured in a past TCS Calendar can be submitted again. However, photos that were not in the top 3 (or 4 as the case may have been) can be resubmitted if they apply to the theme of the month. Additionally, photos can be submitted for more than one month but can only be voted in to the Calendar (top 3) once.
3. Rights to the winning photographs are granted to www.thecatsite.com for use in future TCS projects made available for purchase to other members and the public.

Photography

1. Photo and all rights must be owned by the submitter.
2. Photo entry must be at least 480 x 640 pixels, with higher resolution/size availability (by email) preferred.
3. Photo must be clear, focused, not manipulated by Photoshop (basic altering such as cropping, brightness, etc. is allowed) and apply to the theme of the month.
4. Photos that do not necessarily meet #2 and #3 can be entered, but will not make the final voting rounds.

Please be sure to tell us the name of the kitty(ies) in the photo, for award/future purposes.

The prize will include points, a custom signature and bragging rights for having the first, second and third place Ms. or Mr. June. The 1st place winner will also have a copy of the 2011 Cats of TheCatSite Calendar sent to them when it's finished. The calendar will include at least the top 3 place cats (possibly more depending on how close the votes are) from each monthly contest!

We also need to mention that winners will be asked to email full sized versions of the photograph to a moderator, and winning images will be used for future TCS projects made available for purchase to other members and the public (see above).

Deadline for submission is July 30, 2010.

All members, moderators, admin, and site owner are eligible for this contest.
