It's as good a time as any to throw open nominations for Photo of the Month for July 2013. In addition to being shown on the actbus.net front page for a month (and added to the POTM archive), the winning photo will also be loaded to ACT Bus on Facebook and, if suitable, will be used as the cover photo for the ACT Bus Facebook page (subject to cropping). The winner and runner-up(s) will also be included in the Photo of the Year vote.
Here are the rules:
- no more than two photos per user
- photos must be taken within the ACT or Queanbeyan or else be of a former ACT/Queanbeyan bus
- photos must not have been previously submitted for POTM
- the bus must be the main subject of the photograph (or feature prominently)
- the bus must be in focus
- the fleet or registration number of the bus must be identifiable (or supplied by photographer if not visible in photograph)
- photograph must be user's own work or submitted with permission of the photographer
Refer here (http://actbus.net/?p=263) for full ACT Bus photo submission conditions.
To ensure consistency, photos must be displayed with a width of 640 (or height if 640 if a "portrait" aspect). Photos narrower than 640 pixels will not be accepted; photos wider than 640
MUST use the option width=640 in the image tag - as follows "[img width=640]".
Submissions close midnight Sun 23 June, Australian Eastern Standard Time.
A minimum of 6 photos are required for voting to take place. Should there not be 6 photos by close of nominations, non-winning photos from previous months will be added to the nominations - photos will be selected by myself and/or
Buzz Killington.
