Competition Of The Month.

E30s in the dark


It's competition time again and this month we would like you to show off those photographic skills


The brief:
It only seems sensible that for this months competition we test your photo-graphical skills in the dark. The nights are long and the hours of daylight are few. While snow has hit some of the country it seems unfair to have a snow theme when a lot of you wont have snow, however bonus points for those who get some of the white stuff in shot! Interior shots, E30s in the garage at night, at the petrol station, headlight shots are all encouraged.

The rules:
It must be your own art work and not plagiarised from the net. There will be plenty of time to get your art work complete and voting will take place via a poll once everyone has submitted their designs.

No asking on other forums for people to vote either!

The prize:
A couple of zone stickers courtesy of magpie I believe.

The process:

The competition starts on the 1st of each month

Entries close on the 23rd of each month

Voting will start on either the 23rd or the 24th

Votes close on the 30th of each month and the winner will be annouced

Announcement:

Note.... We will be running another picture competition every 3 months. (E30s of the season) The winners of the monthly competition will automatically be entered into the draw. The prize will be significantly larger, however the only way to win this prize will be to enter the monthly competition with a good enough photo to gain entry. ( this is still a work on progress so hold tight.

The prize? Think something along the lines of a strut brace, quick shift kit, Service kit. ect ect

So you have to be in it to win it.

I shall get an example photo up at some point! Goodluck boys!
