Major Fubar 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Get those submissions flowing people! Harnu, was there a final ruling on VBS pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harnu 0 Posted December 14, 2004 They are excluded this year. After some talk, adding them into the regular categories may tip a balance to their favor, and not nearly enough people own VBS and would use it for screenshots to warrant entirely seperate categories.

blackdog~ 0 Posted December 14, 2004 I don't think VBS screenshots or videos (for a video contest perhaps) should be counted on the "Operation Flashpoint" boards..... =) Good decision Harnu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billabong81 0 Posted December 14, 2004 I don't think VBS screenshots or videos (for a video contest perhaps) should be counted on the "Operation Flashpoint" boards..... =)Good decision Harnu. Agreed. I may make a submission this year if I happen to actually upgrade my PC so I can take some nice screens . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harnu 0 Posted December 14, 2004 can i submit a video for misc ? I'll have to go with a no for that one. Pictures only for this competition. Maybe a video contest at a later date would be something worthy of looking into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shinRaiden 0 Posted December 17, 2004 bonus points or penalties for multi-monitor pics? Not everyone can crank out 3200x1200's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harnu 0 Posted December 17, 2004 bonus points or penalties for multi-monitor pics? Not everyone can crank out 3200x1200's. No bonus or penalties, it will be treated like a regular shot. As far as the amount of entries go judges, more will come, if it's like last year, you'll get the most in the final days of submission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harnu 0 Posted January 1, 2005 Just to remind everyone, submission time is dwindling down, if you haven't already sent in your shots, get cracking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harnu 0 Posted January 3, 2005 I'll be AWOL for a little bit, if I'm gone by the time submissions end, I'll extend the deadline so all the photos can get judged at once. (Router got fried by a storm yesterday). Hopefully be back this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harnu 0 Posted January 7, 2005 I am extending the submission period by a little over a week. Jan 16 will be the deadline to submissions for this contest. We have not received nearly as many submissions as we could really use for this. A lot of people might think they have no chance in this going up against other people that are very good. But please, submit anyway, you never know, some of the "best" photographers may have not even entered the contest this year. All combat photographers, please send in a submission to make this contest as fair, open, and balanced as it can possibly be. You never know how far your picture can go! Get your name out there and take a couple of minutes to file through some of your old photo's and submit your favorites! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
