Theme: Science Fiction Photography

Rules

1. NO STEALING PHOTOS!
Photographs must be taken by Elftowners and posted here by the original photographer. Which means, no matter how much you might like a particular image on somebody's house, you are not allowed to add it here. This includes random images from the net too. TAKE YOUR OWN DARN PHOTOS DON'T STEAL THEM AND TRY TO CLAIM THEM AS YOUR OWN! That makes me angry, very angry indeed.

2. TWO (2) ENTRIES PER PARTICIPANT.

3. YES FOR PHOTOMANIPS! :D
While this is a photograph based competition, we WILL be accepting photomanipulations for this particular contest. Please make sure that all material used for the manipulation is your own. Otherwise it will be removed for copyright infringement.

4. READ THE THEME!
If you stick up a photo just because this is a photo competition, your entry will be removed without warning. ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT MEET THE THEME WILL BE REMOVED.

5. EXPLANATIONS ARE REQUIRED!
When and where the photo was taken is required. We don't need the minutes and seconds, but as close to the actual date of the capture would be good. 

6. ALL IMAGES MUST BE UPLOADED TO ELFTOWN!
To upload your image full-size you can use the feature 'Upload a folder of images' that is shown on your house.
This feature allows you to upload one, multiple images or zip-files in their original size to a wikipage.

Once you click this link you can follow the instructions. See also uploading images.

7. SUBJECT MATTER:
Since the winners will be featured on Mainstreet, images that depict graphic violence, pornography or other disturbing actions will not be accepted. Only photographs that fit the current theme will be allowed.

Special rules

What we want to see is:
Science fiction: The picture has to be futuristic.
Think of scientific discoveries, space travel, life on other planets or environmental changes.
Industrial photography included.

Because we are talking about photography here, we are going to need some proof of the genuineness of the submissions.
For each photo entered, you must submit a proofphoto.

Proofphoto
To enter this contest you have to submit a new picture combined with a proofpicture with a marble(s) taken during the same photoshoot.
This has two reasons:
- The proofphoto shows that the picture is yours.
- Both pictures have to be new, because we want you to make your entries especially for this theme. The picture should clearly show that you thought about the theme and how you want to reflect this.
You can't have done this before the contest, because you didn't know of it then.

Criteria:
The proofphoto must be a picture of the same scenery/environment, but it has to somehow include a real marble(s).
If you have used photomanipulation you are also required to submit the unedited photograph! Example:

Mutated dog in the bionuclear lab.

Proofimage with marble.

Photomanipulation
This contest allows a certain amount of photomanipulation to add to the effect of making it futuristic. Don't overdo it though.
Manipulation that helps achieve the wanted effect include:
-adjusting levels/brightness/contrast
-blur/smudge
-dodge and burn
-filters
Please note that free downloadable programs such as www.gimp.org or www.irfanview.com are perfectly capable of this kind of manipulation, but also keep in mind that this is not a photomanipulation contest, so don't over do it.

Deadline

30th of June 2007

Note:
Ten Photographs will be chosen by the Council and the Assembly among all those presented. Elftown members will choose the two winners through a Mainstreet poll.
The winners will receive the colored badge and the participants will receive the green version of it:
