The 7th semi-annual VB Forums Photography contest is now accepting entries!

You enter by submitting photographs to me and I will accept them in any of following three ways:

• Upload the photos to Flickr (or any other place where I do not need to create an account to access the photos) and post the links in this thread. Optionally include a short description for each photo.
• If the pictures are small enough, put them in a zip file and attach it to this thread. As with Flickr, optionally include a text file containing short descriptions of the pictures.
• Upload the photos (all in one zip or rar file if possible) to SendUIt or similar website. When using SendUIt it's important to select the "Expire in" period before you upload. Please choose an "Expire in" period of at least 3 days. After you do that, post the link that SendUIt will give you here, and again include a textfile with descriptions if you like.

Here is a link to the winning photos from previous contests.

Contest Rules:

• You may submit up to 5 photos.
• The photos must be by you (honor system)
• No "changing your mind" so think about which ones you want to submit.
• No photos that previously placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in any of the previous contests will be accepted.
• Voting will begin after the contest closes (see below) and the voting will be by PM to me.
• Only members who joined prior to the creation of this thread will be allowed to vote. This rule does not apply to people who enter photographs.
• Voting for yourself will not be allowed.
• You may vote only once.
• Using PMs, emails, or postings to encourage people to vote for you is not allowed and I will consider that grounds for disqualification
• 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will be determined on the basis of total points awarded to a photograph. The total points will be calculated using the following formula for each photo: (10 x the number of 1st place votes) + (5 x the number of 2nd place votes) + (3 x the number of 3rd place votes).
• Best Photographer will be awarded to the photographer whose photos (as a group) garner the most total points.
• The contest will close when 100 photographs have been received or Noon PDT (GMT -8), February 15, 2011 whichever comes first.
