Submissions for Photo of the Month are now open.

The winning photo will be loaded to the actbus.net front page for a month (and added to the POTM archive) and posted to ACT Bus on Facebook. The winner and runner-up(s) will also be included in the Photo of the Year vote. By submitting a photo, you are giving permission for it to be loaded onto the ACT Bus Gallery.

The rules:
  • photo must be "owned" by the person submitting it (if not, you must have the permission of the photographer to submit the photo - and identify the photographer)
  • two* photographs may be submitted by any one person, provided they have not been submitted before

  • submitted photographs must prominently feature:
    • bus infrastructure (such as bus stop, bus station, bus depot) within the ACT / Queanbeyan region (location must be specified)
    and/or
    • a bus from the ACT or Queanbeyan (taken within the region or a former ACT/Queanbeyan bus) where -
      • the bus is in focus
      • the fleet or registration number of the bus is identifiable (or supplied by photographer if not visible in photograph)
  • photos narrower than 640 pixels will not be accepted

If possible, please supply date or month of photo.

Refer here for full ACT Bus photo submission conditions.

Photos can be submitted four ways: (1) by posting to this forum topic (2) by posting on ACT Bus facebook page (and mentioning POTM) (3) by tweeting to @actbus (4) by contacting ACT Bus (submit a "contact us" form, send a message to our Facebook page or send me a Private Message) - and we'll send you an email address.

This month, the "bonus photo" category is undecided. So the first contributor may select a category for which a bonus photo may be submitted #. If a photo which fits into the bonus category is submitted, a further 2 new photos may also be submitted (3 photos in total).

To ensure consistency, photos must be displayed with a width of 640 (or height if 640 if a "portrait" aspect) - photos wider than 640 are required to use the option width=640 or height=640 in the image tag. For example: [img width=640] instead of [img].

Submissions close midnight 27 March, Australian Eastern Daylight savings Time, unless extended.

Voting will commence on 28 March. Voting will close on 1 April.



# - a bonus category can be for a particular bus model (e.g. Dart) or a particular feature of a photo (such as photos which include a street sign). But try not to select something too obscure or too common.

I'll start things off, with a bonus category of "Buses off route due to road closure"

Digging through my photos and I stumbled upon a bunch of photos of buses and infrastructure that is no longer with us.

So we have sister buses 990 and 991, both ex CNG trial Renault 100.3s which were originally allocated to Tuggeranong depot. They were both repowered with diesel engines and transferred to Belconnen depot where I drove them regularly for a number of years.
