Though I am, as usual, a day late and a dollar short.... it’s officially SUMMER*!!!! *At least for those of us in the northern hemisphere on this third rock from the sun we call home. Of course those of you in the southern half are welcome snd encouraged to play along - Venusians and Martians too. CONTEST RULES. I have typed them in very slowly so the rules will be easy for you to read and understand (unlike the forum sales posting rules). 1. Photos must be taken by OF members or immediate family members only (the Honor System applies - most of you can be trusted - if you're not sure I'm talking about you, you're probably right) 2. Only OF members who joined on or before January 1st, 2019 are eligible to enter. In addition, you must have an avatar. Q: What’s an avatar? A: You are not eligible to enter! 3. Photos must include at least one timepiece, prominently featured. Extra credit for photos that have a summer- time theme. Deductions for being a bloviating asshat. 4. Photos must be new to the forum - not previously posted on OF. I know, it sucks you can't use that great WRUW shot you took last year. 5. Limit of two (2) entries per member. However, if you take that fantastic photo after posting your second entry, you are welcome to enter a new one, as long as the new photos are posted by the deadline. Only the last two photos will be considered. 6. Judging will once again be done by an expert panel carefully selected from the Darlinboy family. 7. All entries must be POSTED TO THIS THREAD by Saturday July 6th, 2019 at 11:59pm central time As usual, technique and photography skills won't hurt, but in the end, winners will be selected purely & solely on our personal preferences. The decision of the judges is final. The decision of the judges is final. It's still final. >Winner's Choice< for prize selection. The Grand Prize Winner will make the first selection, followed in order by additional winners, each choosing from the prizes that remain. 2019 FABULOUS CONTEST PRIZES! Set of six Omega dealer display plaques A very special promotional pocketknife from the famed Omega US distributor the Norman M. Morris Corporation!!! For those of you who think it is two knives, it is not. I have instead cleverly photographed both sides and made a collage so you can see them at the same time. The traditional ??Mystery Box?? Is it trash or is it treasure? No one knows (except me of course & Mrs. Darlinboy, and a few of our non-forum friends who don’t get to play and can be trusted not to share the secret with you.) Your very own personalized Omega Forums coffee mug! A new and unworn Dan Henry limited edition 1939 Military Chronograph. And finally, out of an abundance of caution and consideration for the well-being of winning contestants...
Contest flashback - 2015 https://omegaforums.net/threads/2015-holiday-photo-contest-with-fabulous-prizes.32182/ And the first group of winners... https://omegaforums.net/threads/2015-holiday-photo-contest-winners-announced.33163/
2016 - Summertime! https://omegaforums.net/threads/2016-summer-photo-contest-winners-announced.40890/
I'm working on it. I want to get one of those cool mugs. In the past I thought I would win, but the competition has been pretty good, so I'm going to to have to come up with a brilliant idea.
I believe it can if you want - I usually charge 1 x Ed White for the one time use of my profile, and retain all publishing rights into the future
It most certainly can, if you so choose. Subject, of course, to Rob’s usage fee. Which must be paid by - anyone but me!
Thanks @Darlinboy for running another excellent competition I’m trying to ‘think outside the box’ again but seeing as I don’t have an astronaut suit, haven’t been to the bottom of any oceans, or am part of the Crawford family, it’s going to take some thought. Or maybe I could just take a photograph of a watch...
