May e30 of the month Presented by:



E30s in reflection.



The brief:

We want to see your E30s in reflection.

The rules:

THE SOLICITING OF VOTES ON OTHER FORUMS WILL RESULT IN INSTANT DISQUALIFICATION, we are not after the most popular member, we are after the best photos of your E30s..

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..

One entry per person.

The competition is open to all registered E30Zone members, but the winning prize can only be sent Free of Charge to UK mainland addresses. In the event of a winning non-Uk address the competiton organiser reserves the right to request the winner to pay for the postage costs in advance.

The prize:
Your Art work printed on a E30zone.net mug and a e30zone sticker set depending on availability of some designs..

Note that if you photograph your car on private land you should get the permission of the landholder prior to submission. The E30zone assumes that by submitting the photograph the entrant has fulfilled this requirement and thus accepts no responsibilty for claims resulting from the use of the images.

The entrant, by submitting photos, gives The E30zone permission to reproduce, modify or use the image as it sees fit.




Announcement:


Due to the popularity of the E30zone COTM competition we have a sponsor...

RPM have joined the team and are offering these great prizes...:thumb:

The brief says "your E30's" thus the implication is you own the thing, I can see no problem using someone else's car but YOU WILL NEED THE OWNERS PERMISSION.

Doesn't the reflection have to be of an e30 reflecting off another object? Not things reflecting off of an e30?

In my defence,m'lord,I submit that the photo was taken with a wide angle lens turned on it's side,the r/h gate pillar is reasonably square to shot...


Location is RAF Cranwell,background building is the college where aircrew are trained,the driveway is known as 'The Orange',very few are allowed to drive on it...
