Official Photo Contest Weekly TOPICS and RULES!

[speck76]

Do we still need to come up with January ones for next year?

I have not made it that far yet.......trying to get 2005 completed first.

Space MT and COP (at WDW) opened 1/15, so that could be one (or a Tomorrowland themed contest)

To save the folks from digging through pages...could you repost the rules and contests onto the first post of the thread. This is going to be great :sohappy:

When all is said and done (much will be said, and little done... :lol: kidding) I am hoping to get the rules and calendar "stickied" to the top of this forum. I will also put any specific intructions on the thread related to each contest.

Excellent work, speck76! Time to print the list of subjects!

Sounds like fun! I'm in! Thanks for expanding some of the topics to include all Disney theme parks - I have a limited supply of WDW pics, but hundreds from DL! :lol:

Hiya, Speck!

Again, great idea!

I changed the title of the thread to make it "official", and also stuck right up top to make it the most visible. You should edit your initial post to include the updated schedule and rules to make it the most accessable to everyone. I was going to do it for you, but I didn't want tot touch your post without your permission.

Thanks!

I was wondering what the acceptable dimensions were for the site are. Sorry if this has been answered already!

Without looking it up, I wanna say that it's 700 x 700 or something similar.

I think I recall reading in an earlier post somewhere that we were going with 700x525-ish.

Thanks for the answers.... just one more question. How does one resize their photo to meet the requirements? I believe most of the ones I took are in the
1656x1242 range. Thanks so much for the help!

Use a program to resize it...

Lot's of programs can do this, I use photoshop. Nevertheless, you could (depending on wether you use MAC or PC) could use paint, MS photo editor, i-photo, or ANY photo manipulation/album program.

Your camera should have come with a program that will let you resize photos, and it should be fairly user friendly.

I usually use Paint... open the picture with Paint then use the Image skew/stretch. I usually reduce it to 25 -35 % depending.

The only thing I would mention is you have in both June and October a contest for photos of your favorite resort.

If you are still looking for future topics, how about something from Disney Cruise trips?

What about pictures of you favorite place to eat.


What about food you like to eat while in Disney.
