Australian Digital Photo Of The Day (ADPOTD) and Featured Category Rules:
Australian Digital Photo Of The Day (hereafter referred to as ADPOTD) and Monthly Theme Competition are open to all Australian residents.
Those with more than 12 months active membership, are granted "special" membership status, should it become necessary to move off-shore. In
recognition of this prior membership, these members may continue to participate in all areas of the POTD web site, including competitions.
Prizes (if offered) will be delivered to Australian postal addresses ONLY, those members living abroad "may" be responsible for all charges associated
with prize delivery. Should a winner be unable to take possession of their prize for ANY reason, it will be returned to the competition prize pool.
The ADPOTD is selected from all the entries to the Monthly Theme categories, excluding the Featured Category, as this stands as a separate competition
with it's own prize.
Each weekday (excluding public holidays) unless otherwise noted, one image will be chosen from all category entries (excluding the Featured &
International Categories) and be awarded as ADPOTD. This is a "blind" selection as the photographer's name remains unknown during the selection
process. At the end of each month unless otherwise noted, a panel of professional photographers will select one image from those displayed as ADPOTD
and award it the title of Australian Digital Photo Of The Month (hereafter referred to as ADPOTM). This decision is based on all aspects of the
image's content and is final.
"Featured Category" winners are chosen from ALL entries to that category and not just for those entered in the current month, however entry to the
Featured Category is restricted to Gold Members. Featured Category cover images may not be updated daily, but will be updated at the discretion of the
site owner.
Additional disk space awarded to Gold Members as prizes in the featured category, may only be retained while Gold Membership is maintained. ALL Gold
Members who cease membership will be returned to the standard membership of 5mb, regardless of prizes awarded while a Gold Member.
Scanned images from traditional film cameras or "grabs" from video footage are not permitted, all images MUST be from digital still cameras of any
resolution (megapixel rating). Images captured with video cameras used in the "still" mode are permitted.
All images submitted remain the property of the photographer and PixelPix Pty Ltd claims no rights other than the ability to display the images
throughout the PixelPix web site on the ADPOTD pages.
Winning images will be featured in the monthly publication "Camera". By submitting images to this competition, you agree to provide "Camera"
NON-exculsive rights to publish your image should it be selected as a competition winner. "Camera", ADPOTD and PixelPix Pty Ltd make no claim to
images submitted and copyright remains the property of the photographer. No fee is offered for publication, however a photographer's credit will be
published with each winning image.
Images MUST be supplied at a minimum of 600 pixels on the longest side and in JPG format.
Image shall be accompanied by the Photographers name, photo title, photo description and camera settings (if available) & photographers contact
email.
All images entered (excluding Featured Category entries) are eligible for ADPOTD at any time and NOT just the day/month of submission."
All "non-displayed" Featured Category entries will become eligible for ADPOTD upon the close of the Featured Category competition.
Multiple entries are welcome in any one month and/or category, however PixelPix Pty Ltd reserves the right to limit entry numbers at any stage.
Images and requested details shall be submitted via the User Gallery.... see the Submit Entry page for details.
Images must be to specified size and web ready in sRGB, any image not correctly prepared or suffering image degradation due to over-compression will
NOT be considered for entry and will be deleted from our system. PixelPix Pty Ltd is NOT responsible for image preparation, other than resizing to
suit the ADPOTD web site and associated pages. However due to the wide variation in user's monitor calibrations, PixelPix Pty Ltd may feel it is
necessary to alter image brightness and/or contrast of some images, in order to maintain consistent site display.
Images may be submitted with decorative borders, however ADPOTD may remove these borders for POTD display.
Digital manipulation of images entered into the "standard/regular" ADPOTD competition categories is permissible, however these are to be kept to those
features that "enhance" the existing content of an image ie USM, levels, exposure and tonal adjustments, clone (for retouching) etc. Digitally
"modified" images that owe their "content" to the post photographic processes ie subject duplication and/or combining of images of differing content
etc. may not be entered, unless specifically called for in a "Special Category" competition. (Note: Stitching of images for increased FOV is
permissible.) PixelPix Pty Ltd understands that post processing is a normal part of today's photography, however at times, there may be a fine line
between "Digitally Enhanced" and "Digitally Modified" images and we reserve the right to refuse entry to categories, that are deemed by us, to be
unsuitable for the image in question. Please note: Images entered into specialty "Challenge" categories that specifically call for digital
manipulation are eligible for POTD.
PixelPix Pty Ltd makes no claims or promises regarding this Australian Digital Photo Of The Day site other than the "PixelPix User Web" and/or
cash/gift voucher prizes listed on the web site from time to time.
PixelPix Pty Ltd will not be responsible for the supply and/or delivery of prizes donated by a sponsor company, as they will be provided and shipped
directly from those companies.
PixelPix Pty Ltd will NOT be responsible for any images lost or damaged during submission. It is the photographer's responsibility to maintain
original copies of their work for archive purposes.
PixelPix Pty Ltd reserves the right to alter an image's competition category, should that image be deemed unsuitable for the original category
selected.
Images that are considered of an offensive nature will be rejected.
It is the responsibility of the photographer to gain the required permissions, allowing him/her to post images containing recognisable people in the
ADPOTD web site.
All submissions are accepted on the understanding that the photographer agrees to these terms and has obtained the required permissions.
ADPOTD will not tolerate offensive behaviour, offensive images or spam. Any user found to be involved in these will have their account deleted
without warning!
