Competition Of The Month.

Freestyle


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


The brief:

Basically, anything goes! Submit your favourite picture of your E30, whether it be a basic phone snap or a full of photoshopped master piece, the best picture will win!

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!


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

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

My take is that it should be your own work (i.e. you who took the photo), but I could be wrong on that. I'll let Verde/Jim clarify that one :cool:

Jim or Verde, any comment?

Surely it is the car and not the photography that merits the prize, otherwise the person with the best camera and photography skills wins? Plus I did half the work for the photo :)

Errrrmm, i'm gonna say it needs to be your own photo that you shot. If Verde thinks differently, we'll ask a random member to pick a number and that will give us the answer :D

If Verde agrees then you can only enter a picture you have taken

Alot of us take pictures of other people's e30s so it's gotta be a photo taken by yourself.

Only rule being that it has an e30 in it and permission to use blah blah. Right??

Aye, unless we set a theme ( you and your car ) or ( you driving your car ) then it has to be you taking it. Sorry folks :P

Hmmm I either need to use one of my current pics or get a new one over the next couple weeks. Was hoping to get some good pictures and videos this weekend but the car decided to play up last night so I couldn't head to Devon. :(

Ten second timer! Job done. Think we should actually have a month where that is the theme, you have to be in the pic and take it yourself!
