Process:

• We have time till 8/15/2005 where you can submit pictures
• We then publish a maximum of 30 pictures that we select from all submissions and post them in a gallery
• You then vote on these pictures for one week (no reader can see the current results)
• Voting gets closed
• We publish the results
• The winning 5 pictures will be posted on this page
• The gallery stays open for 2 more months and then gets deleted
• This page is permanent

Note: All submissions that do not follow the rules get ignored without notice.

Rules:

• Any image that features an abstract nature color photo (color only)
• You send us a JPG image with 600 pixels in the max dimension and compression level 8 in Photoshop (we won't consider larger images)
• Not people in the picture that can be identified (sorry, we don't want to get into legal trouble here)
• The image name has to be like this:
  • first_lastname_cameratype_title (no blanks or special characters except "_", all lower case)
  • Try a short title (not longer than 15 chracters)
  • Sample: "uwe_steinmueller_d1x_davenport.jpg
• Send image to : contest@outbackphoto.com
• Subject line: "Invitation #5: " + image filename (naming conventions see above as sometimes the image name gets lost in the email)
• Color images should be in the sRGB color space
• You grant Digital Outback Photo the right to publish the image free of charge
• Only one entry and submission per artist
• We dod not accept later corrections (too much of a hassle here)
