RULES
- Photo must contain your GN username hand written on something in the picture and must be easily readable.
- One entry per person. Post your entry in this thread. If you want to change your entry edit your entry post with the new image. If you post two images in this thread you will be disqualified.
- Image will be judged on wackiness and originality.
- Image must conform to the image posting rules set forth by the GN administration. Any image that is inappropriate will disqualify you and probably get you an infraction or banned.
- The image must be uploaded to techpowerup.org.
- No Photoshopping allowed
- If the image you post disqualifies you, you will be notified and given the chance to correct the mistake prior to the end of the contest. (I'm a nice guy and people have brain farts on occasion)
- If an inappropriate image disqualifies you, you're out. No second chance.
- All entries will be judged by me, and my decision is final. This is for fun and a few bucks. You won't be winning a Pulitzer prize or anything.
- Contest limited to only inhabitants of the planet Earth. Interstellar postal rates are just too expensive, sorry.
- GN Administration and Staff can participate even though it is questionable if they are all human.

Prizes
1st Place : $50 US
2nd Place : $35 US
3rd Place : $15 US

- To receive a prize you must be willing to supply your real name and address in a PM or at least your personal e-mail address if you would like an e-retailer gift card.
(I need it to send you the prize ... duh. It will not be given out to anyone else, and will be deleted after prize is sent)
- The prize winning photos will be the subject to the next contest which will be an open contest called "Caption this photo." If you are skin-thinned you may want to consider this prior to entry.

Contest Duration
- One month from now (4/5/2010) ... GO !!

Contest Reason
- I like contests and seeing how creative and wacky people can get.
- I don't mind giving people a little incentive to participate in my goofy contests.
- I like helping people who might need a little extra to update their rig or take the missus out for dinner.
- W1zz said if I don't have a contest he would kick DanTheBanjoman out of the Hit Squad, and it would just not be the same without Dan.

Disclaimer : This is an unofficial contest and in no way is supported by, representative of, or sanctioned by GN or any of it's parent companies or affiliates.
Offer void where fraud prohibited by law.

Am I understanding correctly that hence it's not possible to submit photos taken before...

Must be new photos (or at least meet the contest requirements). We can't let people rest on their previous work and must insist they continue to invoke their creativity on a day to day basis.

IT HAS BEEN DECIDED !!! (Cue sound of trumpets and stuff)

Congratulations Regex !!! It was a tough call but you squeeked by into the top spot.

Since Regex was the only one who felt compelled to give my little contest a go, I've decided he gets all the prizes.

@Regex, PM me with you name and address if you want cash (check) or with your e-mail address if you would like a Newegg (or wherever) online gift card.

Another contest in awhile ... keep on the look out people (and maybe partcipate?).

Just PM me with your preference and the info I need to send you the prize.

I'll then ask one of the mods to close this thread given the contest is over.
