Hi, Y’all!!
How’s everyone’s summer going so far. I CANNOT believe it’s already after 4th of July! Can you?
Anyway – here’s the latest on the brand new “Finding Direction Summer 2010 Photo Contest” that I just started last week, I think. I can’t remember. At this age, time goes by WAY too fast, ya know?!
Here’s some of the “rules” for you entrants, and I’m waiting patiently – or not – for the first of you to show up with some great summer photos. To enter, just go to the “Contact Me” tab above and write to me from there. I will send you my email address so that you may submit your photo(s). The theme this time is “Summer Time & The Livin’ Is Easy.”
Here’s some “rules,” such as they are:
(1) Enter as many photos as you would like under the “theme” as stated above. The photos, preferably, will be your own that you have taken, but do not HAVE to be, knowing that not everyone is a God-gifted photographer. In fact, you may “Google” or whatever online to find some good summer time photos to submit. People in the past have done so.
(2) I’m giving y’all the rest of July and until the 15th of August by which to submit your photos. At that time, the revered Finding Direction Judges shall review all of the entries, shall go over each with a fine tooth comb and shall make their esteemed decisions, based upon quality of the photos, personality of the entrants (just kidding!), and appropriateness to the subject matter.
(3) All photos should be submitted as jpegs or gifs, preferably jpegs.
(4) The Finding Direction Judges shall consider the entrants’ behaviors during the contest period, i.e., attempts at cheating, seriously and shall engage in appropriate “penalties,” as needed. This is especially true of those who are currently ministers of the Gospel (Good News) and former ministers of the Gospel, now engaged in burying the dead, otherwise known as funeral directors.
(4) Humor in photos will have points added to their “values” as the Finding Direction Judges are greatly in need of humor in their lives at the moment.
(5) All decisions are final, based purely on objective values, and prizes shall be awarded, as needed.
(6) The Grand Prize Winner shall have their winning photo displayed on the Finding Direction Judges’ desktop home computer, which is a “grand” prize, indeed!!
(7) The Finding Direction Judges shall award an ACTUAL GRAND PRIZE award to the winner this time, for about the 3rd time, btw (Greg!), so y’all pay attention and get with it here, ya hear?!
That’s it for now, guys. Take some photos or sift through what you already have taken and have stored away in your computer, because I KNOW that the lot of you have LOTS of photos to choose from – either your own, some you’ve received in Power Point presentations, or on the internet – that you can enter. So, get WITH it!!
Cheers! And many blessings to each of you today! Dee
Haven’t been ignoring your contest, though I believe Rule #4 is completely out of line, if not downright prejudicial. Be that as it may, it’s your contest, so whomever you were referring will hopefully heed that instruction. I am trying to locate the WINNING photo and thought I knew where it was … not so. But I’ll continue to search.
I will search for just the right photo that says “summer time” to me. It’s not going to be easy considering it’s so hot outside.
I’m thinking a photo of my A/C would be appropriate!! LOL!
Heather -
Let me clarify something – you can enter as many photos as you would like. You are not just limited to one, so go through some of your best, and email them to me. I just received five this afternoon to be entered into the competition.
Send me some of your best!!
