AN Photo Contest Call for Submissions + Open Thread

Okay, it's on. Here's how it works. I've opened up a new Moneybutt server at

http://owlmelon.com/cgi-bin/photo.pl

Photo Submission Deadline: December 24th, 11:59pm.  

Submission Instructions: Open an account at the MB server above, click on the link "add pictures or entities" and follow instructions. You will need your pictures hosted somewhere on the web with a URL. Post here if you have trouble.

I'll put out a separate call for votes between Xmas and New Year's Day. You can start voting immediately, but it will be more fun when there are a few photos up.

I am of course, open to suggestions for how this might go.

Here are the instructions currently on the site:

Eligible Photos

  • were taken by an AN member
  • are not of AN members (to the best of your knowledge)
  • fit into one of the following categories:
  • Action shots (players in the A's organization, past or present)
  • Still/Profile (players in the A's organization, past or present)
  • Miscellaneous (other A's related photos... strange fans, cute baby A's fans, dogs, etc, no AN posters or players)
  • Submission Guidelines
  • give your picture a nice, unique title (check the Entity List to avoid other titles)
  • place your picture in the correct categories
  • don't put your name in the title
  • make sure your watermark is stripped
  • please limit yourself to five photos per category
  • Other Hints
  • use Add a New Entity below to submit new pictures

  • tell me in chat or e-mail if you want to change titles
  • Good luck!
