Here we are again and it's time for yet another City-Data Photography Contest.
If you've participated in one of the previous contests, the format is basically the same.
Here's the rules:
Theme: The theme for this contest is food. You must have 3 food elements in your picture all pertaining to the same meal. (cola, pizza, salad or something along those lines.) You may have one picture containing all three or a collage of three pictures merged into one entry. To clarify, that all three items in one picture or three pictures merged into ONE picture. One submission per poster is allowed. More will be allowed in coming contests.
In other words, you can have something like this:
or like this:
but of course with three elements of the same meal.
Dates:
Pictures must be taken after June 1, 2008
Pictures can be submitted any time AFTER July 1, 2008
The poll for voting will be set up and opened on July 4, 2008
Voting will last until July 9, 2008 and the top 5 pictures will be entered into a run off.

EDIT On June 18th:PLEASE READ and Ask questions here https://www.city-data.com/forum/photo...o-contest.html
OK.
So we're gonna try the anonymous email/DM thing.
Send you entries to this address cdpicturecontest@gmail.com
With the following info:
Subject line for email: "CD Picture Contest Entry"
In the body of the email provide:
Your name/CD Nick Name
Title for the picture
Date Taken (pictures must be taken during contest time)
Please 1 picture per entry.
Please keep size in mind and try and restrict the size to around 700-800 pixels on the long side. ShepsMom will be posting all entries in the order they are received beginning on the 1st.
It's discouraging that adding a new element might keep some posters from participating, but I understand and hope you'll watch for future contests. Kudos to those who are up for the added challenge!
Good luck, all!

Other important information:
1-First and foremost the goal of the contest is to have fun and get off your duffs and out shooting pictures. So please, no stock photos or ones you took 'two years ago while in Rome'.
2-Please email your picture, date taken, location, and a title of the picture.
3-If you see something that is not original work that's been posted here, please repost the post AND DM me too. We will take care of the post, the picture, and the ramifications of that activity.
4-No restrictions on dimensions, try and limit file size to 400K, but no one is going to be penalized on file size. If you can size it down, great. If not, don't worry about it.(We'd prefer about 800x600 but we won't be mad at ya for larger.)
5-Stick to the theme. If it's plants, we mean plants, not power plants or a gymnast landing. Creativity is one thing, but you must stick to the theme. Who decides if a picture is on theme or not? Me
This contest was just an idea that materialized and we've worked through, and isn't officially sanctioned by City-Data. So if you have issues and or gripes, direct them to me, not City-Data.
Now get out there, shoot some food, and have you pictures ready for July!
