The Rules

1. THE PHOTOS MUST BE UPLOADED TO ELFPACK IN THE FOLLOWING WAY:
a) Go to your house.
b) Press "Upload a folder of images".
c) Select a unique describing name for the wiki-page (Like for example "Ryd in Linköping, Sweden" or "55th street on Manhattan") and then you upload a ZIP-file (See How to create a zip-file with about 10 to 20 images (The limit is just a suggestion).
d) Make sure the page is exported.
e) Write fun or interesting comments on the photos. It can be explanation about how you arranged the light and how you manage to get the entire flower sharp or and explanation that it's John who is puking on his keyboard because you gave him an ugly link.
f) Submit the page and then write the link to the wiki-page under Your submissions below.

2. ALL SUBMITTED PHOTOS MUST BE MADE BY THE SUBMITTER. This means no reproductions, repostings, copied works, works randomly found on the net, submissions of another Elfpack member’s work, or heaven knows anything else we might have missed. Using another photographer’s photographs without their express, written permission is stealing, and will NOT be tolerated. If a person is found to have submitted stolen work, that person will be permanently banned from submitting any more works, and will be reported to the guards.

3. PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO HELP YOU WRITE COMMENTS AND ADDING PHOTOS. You may let others help you with adding photos or comments, but the ones helping you are just helping you. This isn't a team-competition, but you're free to give them credits of course.

4. ALL MEMBERS PARTICIPATING IN THIS WIKI, ENTRANTS OR NOT, MUST BE RESPECTFUL OF EVERYONE ELSE AND THEIR WORK. Be nice, damn it.

5. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE ON THE 'MY NEIGHBOURHOOD' THEME. No random images, no matter how cool they might look, will be allowed to participate. If an image’s or an entire submission's theme does not seem to fit, the artist will be contacted via comments on the wiki-page and given a chance to explain how their work fits the theme. [Firenze] and the Elfpack crew have the last call on what does or does not fit the theme.

6. ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED HERE BEFORE THE 3RD OF FEBRUARY 2007

7. [Firenze] IS THE BOSS OF THIS CONTEST SO HAVE FUN!! (Or we will send a bunch of caffeine deprived photographers after you!! o_O;;)

Some Hints:
-Submitting more then 1 photoalbum is not allowed, please decide which one is best, or ask the staff which one you should enter the contest with.

-Having a lot of friends vote for you does not mean you will win. (So don't try to mail all your friends, it's even forbidden!

-Entries will be judged as fairly as possible, with the poll as a guide. Judges ultimately will make the final decision.

2006-12-12 [Hedda]: No [Wendy]-stalking! <img:mood21-gif.gif> That sucks! <img:mood19-gif.gif>

2006-12-12 [Big Brother]: it's kinda hard to know the location from some pics of things around the place.....you don't have to use signs and such.... i don't think anyone would be like "HEY! i know that tree!!" or "i think that looks like the same off white standard designed house as that town i once drove past 2 years ago!!"

2006-12-12 [Hedda]: Well, if you live on top of Fuji, then your house might be easy to find if you take pictures of the surroundings.

But genererally I think it would be pretty hard to find your house if you take pictures of the village. Of course a real stalker would go to that village and hang out there until you're found, but... Well, go to Amsterdam, [Sunrose] has been seen there! <img:drunk.gif>

2006-12-12 [stephy.h]: You can do kind of obscure photos right? Like corners of buildings, leaves and asphalt etc.

2006-12-12 [Hedda]: Well, then it's really not about your neighbourhood anymore.

2006-12-12 [stephy.h]: hmm...

2006-12-13 [RainCloud]: now if only my step-mom would give me back my camera that she confiscated three or four months ago, i'd enter...

2006-12-14 [..oops..]: so its like a series, then?

2006-12-14 [FireGypsy]: No submissions yet? I'm surprised!

2006-12-14 [Big Brother]: fine.....i'll get my cam out... but i already have the prize.

2006-12-14 [FireGypsy]: Now if you win this, would you get another badge? Or would it just say something under your other one? But yeah! Get your cam out! I would do it, but it had been shitty out the past few days, and nobody wants to see my neighborhood all gloomy lol!

2006-12-14 [Big Brother]: or do i have it....i dunno.....meh

2006-12-15 [Mental Terrorist]: HA! i took pictures of my old neighborhood...does it still count? (my aunt lives there now) <img:mood12-gif.gif> it should

2006-12-15 [FireGypsy]: I don't see a neighborhood? I see a fence and a sunset? Where are the neighbors houses?

2006-12-15 [Eyes of the Reaper]: Some people won't let you take pictures of their houses, them, or their pets/children...

2006-12-15 [FireGypsy]: Yeah, but a WHOLE neighborhood denying you? Not likely. Besides, they can't be home ALL the time ^_^

2006-12-16 [Eyes of the Reaper]: @.@ True... Does the roof of a neighbor's house count? lol Or maybe their tree from their front yard?

2006-12-16 [FireGypsy]: Sure, as long as it is the neighborhood I guess ^_^

2006-12-16 [Eyes of the Reaper]: lol Ok... 'cause I caught them in a picture of the sky yesterday... XD

2006-12-16 [Mental Terrorist]: no...there are no houses! Point beingh it is the counrty, that is my neighborhood

2006-12-16 [FireGypsy]: Then it isn't a neighborhood...
Neighborhood: The people who live near one another or in a particular district or area; a number of persons living near one another or in a particular locality; people living near one another; "it is a friendly neighborhood"; "my neighborhood voted for Bush"

If your aunt lives in the country, with nobody around, then it is not a neighborhood...
