and do you allow any editing to the picture, like add some lighting?
or it should be raw as its taken?

I think it should be just RAW cause some members could have problems with editing and all that.

What about those who are at the other end of the world and are facing summer right now?

Plus setting a theme would be a bit difficult. If the theme's sea, not many of us live near one. I know that's a little exaggerated, but that's what persuasion is all about.

i think a serious of 3 pictures for each person and the a score out of 10 will be given for each picture and then when you add up the score the winner will be known

for example i post three pics........1st pic i get 7.5/10.. ...... 2nd pic 6/10.....3rd 3/10 .in total i get 16.5

Yup, good idea.

A theme would have to be something accessible to everyone, perhaps a concept, such as "hope", or something like that. It may make things harder though, but it could also get people to get their creative cap on, and think of something, instead of just taking pictures of pretty things, like flowers or sunsets..

Maybe we should keep it simple and theme-less this time, then go a bit further next time (if it works well this time)?

good idea!


And you should be a judge or else we are "hopeLESS"

so when the contest will begin?

We now have some judges. I am keeping the judges anonymous even from each other. Only myself and one judge will know the identity of all of the judges.

I will not be a judge myself, but will be certain that the judges selected are impartial and do not submit entries themselves.

I will also be checking each submission to verify it is the work of the poster and not from a google search.

Hopefully we will have all the rules sorted out within a day or two and then the contest can begin.

I do need at least 2 more judges.

I believe we should have 5 categories:

Landscapes
Seascapes
Close ups
Nature
Plants and Flowers

Each contestant is permitted to enter no more then one picture in each category. A picture may be entered in only one category, so choose your category wisely for your entry. The winners will be best in category and a grand winner of best in show.

Judging will be based on:

Relevance to Islam
choice of subject
Appropriateness of Title
Composition


Please add your suggestions for what you believe should be included in the Rules.
