Competition closes midnight EDT (1PM GMT) 21st February 2010

Here are the rules.

1) all photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/. They can be put in members own gallery if they wish.The resulting link generated for the foto/photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the salon tread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixel wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.

2) One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.

3) Entries should be "in line" within the thread (not as links to an image held somewhere else)

4) Comments only on entries are welcome witin the salon thread itself.

5) After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.

6) The curators decision is final.

7) Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.

If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer, possibly the entrant in second or third place.

9) These rules are to be copied and pasted with the new theme by the curator at the top of the new salon tread with a finish date and time.

10) As with all photos posted on DPNow,copyright remains the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.

Hi Jocelyn,

Please may I clarify - midnight GMT or Australian time?

Jocelyn Walker · #6 09-02-10

Very good point Julia! I think I need to make it Australian time due to my shift early Monday morning! I start work at 6 am! Therefore it will be approximately 10 hrs ahead of you in the UK! I will need to look up the exact difference if it is a contentious point! Let me know if any of you have any issues with this, thanks!

Julia · #7 09-02-10

Hi Jocelyn,

Thanks for the clarification. I have edited your first entry to midnight EDT.

Jocelyn Walker · #8 09-02-10

Thanks Julia! Much appreciated!

I notice that there was a staggering amount of 1234 people viewing this site at 1 given time 3 weeks ago! Most ever recorded! Hopefully some people who normally only browse the site, find inspiration to take the opportunity of membership and submit entries to our salon competitions! If not this particular salon, one in the near future!

Taken on a visit to Verona, Italy. In the Piazza outside the Opera House there are several street entertainers and this one certainly made you look twice.

I imagine a lot of them were spambots or search engine trawlers. On another forum that I belong to, the highest recorded amount of visitors at one time was about 1,500, but only about a dozen of those were actual users!
