Dear Members,

I'm happy to inform you all, that, as one of our new features in the group for 2011, we will soon start a new mini-competition series, based on other groups features, called: Theme week.
Theme week will accompany every month's last week, from monday to sunday, GMT + 0, Greenwich time.

What is "Theme week"? Theme week is a small competition (not to be confused with contests, we will have normal, big-prize contests too this year, so hang on there!) with a given theme, where you can enter your work. We will accept a maximum of 2 submissions per theme week, and we'll try to separate the submission limits from the other folders. What does this mean? This means, that you can submit 1 deviation during the theme week to a normal constant folder, and 2 deviations to the Theme week folder!
We will have some small restrictions in the theme week submissioning: we will NOT accept everything. Consider this like a periodical exhibition - you don't want to see bad art at an exhibition, either. As I read somewhere else: we would like to see 10 good pictures, than to see 10000 crappy ones. But, don't be afraid: we still don't want to see just professional work! :)

What are the expectations?
    - Must be photography.
    - Deviations in the given theme.
    - The entry has to be in at least good quality: not under/overexposed, not blurry, not too small, etc.
    - And still, no photo manipulations and output of any marketing/PR/designer studios, like posters, motivational and demotivational stuff. And period.

It's not that much, is it? :)

After the entry period is closed, our admins will vote about which 3 entries they liked the most. Remember: Theme week is more about fun, not prizes, but:
The first 3 deviations that got the most votes will be selected to the Featured folder!


So, I can say, that we will give prizes, in the spirit of PR and public exposure! Of course, all the entries that got at least one vote will be featured in a journal entry with the best three entries!
Important: how this will work? To save some space and time, we will only write 1 journal per theme week. And a journal entry will have a 3 step lifetime:
    - Journal written, theme week folder is open, theme week is open.
    - Journal updated, folder closed, theme week is closed.
    - Journal updated, first three highlighted, other entries in the race mentioned. Journal closed.
So, it's important for you to check the journal often! :)



And another thing: please, update your submitted deviation's description with a text similar to this:
"I've entered this work in the Theme Week of :iconme-and-my-camera:, yay!"
We will signal you if you missed this one.


!!!
NOT READING THIS JOURNAL AND NOT KNOWING THE RULES WON'T EXEMPT YOU FROM DECLINING!
!!!


The first theme week will start 24. 01. 2011, and will end at 30. 01. 2011!

Good luck to all, hope to get many deviations!
