Contest Announcement: "Curves"

Submitted by caedes 08/10/08 10:51 PM GMT

Members are invited to submit works that demonstrate, emphasize, or utilize “curves.”
Let your inner eye see things to photograph or create images that show, in a balanced way, the curves that exist almost everywhere. Let them serve as your inspiration.

There is no limitation on the subject, a member may submit up to two individual images and one collaborative piece for this contest gallery. Categories for submissions and winners to be chosen from:

  • Photography (portraits, landscapes, architecture, etc.)
  • CGI (fractals, abstracts, terragen et. al.)
  • Photo-manipulation

And finally an overall winner will be chosen from the categories above that shows the most impact through use or presence of “curves” within their image or composition. Top winners will receive membership in the Caedes Cadre and honorary titles.

As always, original photos/images only that have not been previously uploaded to caedes.net. Official Entries should be uploaded to the "Contests->Current Contest" gallery. Purmusic will be the official cat-wrangler for this contest.

Deadline for submissions is September 16th.

Ready? Be creative and above all, have fun!!

@Lauren ... "I guess I would like to know if I have the option, is all."

To reiterate and to be clear ... yes, the option is available to members to 'switch out' a contest entry and replace it with another.

Feel free to switch them out Rachel, if you wish. I haven't seen your photos/images myself yet. If you think you have some better contenders ... go right ahead.

That is allowable under the 'rules'.

To reiterate though, and this is a general statement once again ... moderate this activity yourselves.


On a side note ... the contest galleries are looking excellent, I must say. It will be a close race.

Best of luck to all. :o)

Ok, with less than a week to go (thanks Phil for the reminder) ... here is an update of sorts.

More or less, what will happen from here on in.

After the contest close ... that date being September 16th ... invitations or notices will be sent out to the membership to participate in the determination the winners. In their respective categories and then, an overall winner.

Given the degree of participation, it will take some time to process the votes. As mentioned, a week's turnaround time is being aimed for and with a speedy return of the votes ... it should be possible. So ...

Pay attention to your inboxes once the 16th is past and I thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Best of luck to all. :o)

Wellll, not entirely. The honorary titles have their origins in site run contests. And the results of which, were determined by a panel of judges/peers.


Perhaps, a suggestion is rooting around somewhere in your post above Rob?

As in, find other 'occasions' and reasons to bestow the honors?

Asked:

"I entered and enjoyed the last contest we did on caedes, but the down side was the wait for the results which seemed to be weeks after the close date. And I think many people who also took part last time would also echo this thought. Can we be assured that we will know the results a little sooner this time?"

Answered:

"The delay is caused by the voting method that we use to determine the winners. We have to choose the voting panel and then sent out the requests to vote. Then we wait for a good percentage of the voters to respond before we gather the results. I think that we can do it in the span of one week though."

@Roseman_Stan:

You would have received a PM, or private/personal message Stan. As noted above by *caedes ... 200 vote requests were sent out. Hopefully, that number will suffice with good good participation on that end.


@mapbc:

Entry present and accounted for ... namely, your "Winery".


Just waiting on the votes to come in .... please be patient. :o)


For your collective amusement:

How do you get the professional photographer off your front porch?

Pay him for the pizza.


How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb?

50 - One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that!"


A photographer goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman sitting at the bar. After an hour of gathering up his courage, he finally goes over to her and asks, "You are a beautiful woman, would you like to sit for me at my studio?"
To which she responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!"

Everyone in the bar is now staring at them. Naturally, the poor guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table.

After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She smiles at him and quietly says, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I'm a journalist and I've got an assignment to study how people respond to embarrassing situations."

To which the photographer responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean $200?"

Oops, sorry Rob.

Was just pondering, contemplating, calculating ... the odds of someone else having such a unique and truly original name like Brian Johnson.

The odds are staggering, as it turns out. Well, that is ... if you live in:

Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphopnop- paratrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharnamornphimarnavatarnsathit- sakkattiyavisanukamprasit, Thailand.

I have one more warm-up act ... to go ... before ... the ta ... and das, are made known. Stay tuned and watch this space ...

If a NY minute is really a second, would "soon" in Caedesian time be measured with a watch, or a calendar? :P

I jest, obvo. Looking forward to seeing which entries made it to the top of the heap.. there was certainly a hefty bunch of great stuff to choose from.

p.s. Me luvs Angus' work on the axe. And here are some words from their official site that sums him and his playing up rather succinctly:

"Rock and roll was dying and Malcolm Young wanted to recreate the sort of excitement his heroes like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Fats Domino, The Who and The Stones had generated.

The band's secret weapon was Malcolm's young brother, a tiny manic guitarist by the name of Angus who looked like he was still at school but who had obviously been taking advanced levels in his guitar classes."
