First and foremost - You may only enter your own photography, though that rule *almost* goes without saying. One entry per day, per person. If you are unable to upload every day, we understand that this is not reality and real life comes first, but please have your photos uploaded by the specified time after each round. Usually two days are given after the ten days so those that need to catch up may before judging commences. New rounds either begin after winners are announced or when there are a sufficient number of participants to compete. (This number left up to the host per circumstances that appeal to each round.) No manipulation At this point in time, I am also excluding you from putting borders around your images >_< *Nazi pixie* Simply because sometimes putting a border on a picture can really add something, and not all entrants will do that. NOTE: Black & White photos are now allowed, however no other photo manipulations are allowed. A new rule! Be sure to notice that from now on every contestant should add the date the photo has been taken in their own photowiki. That rule is to encourage to take the photo after the theme is posted instead of posting an old photo. In general we only allow new pictures, but if you have no ideas or time for taking the new photo and you have a perfect old one for the theme, you can have one or two old photos out of ten. If you add an old photo, you should post the real date, and we will allow it, but we will consider the date when voting for the winners. There is now no size limit...Just please keep them at a reasonable size for viewing >_< (One of the judges was grumbling about not being able to appreciate the pictures in their full size xD) The theme *must* be followed, but you may allow yourself to be as creative and as sneaky with that as you like :D For example: The theme might be 'orange'. You could take photos of something orange, or an orange...but not a duck sitting on the water! :D Unless it was an orange duck... It was such a huge job for me to do everyone's separate wikis the first time - so, can you put your pictures into your personal '10 Days' wiki (when it is made) when you change your photos over please ^_^ Yes, you are allowed to participate multiple times ;p 2009-05-20 [Lothuriel]: Nope, it's Elftown. It makes sad.
2009-05-20 [Cillamoon]: Saddens me as well, it's great most of the time, but since last Friday I will be working on ET and will all of a sudden lose it! So frustrating, but I know why it's happening and know Hedda is working on getting it fixed.
2009-05-21 [moira hawthorne]: ET is STILL acting up! this continues is gonna make the contest really hard
2009-05-21 [Alexi Ice]: Yeah, what happens if one day we can not log on? It kicks me off once every hour or so at differnt times, I never know when the window will be up when I can log in.
2009-05-22 [moira hawthorne]: took me 5 hrs to get on today
2009-05-22 [Lothuriel]: Grrr....I had no trouble getting on but, staying on was a diff story. I keep getting kicked and then it takes FOREVER to log back on again.
2009-05-23 [Captain Rachel Black]: No way! 0_o
2009-05-23 [Lothuriel]: Yes way! x__X
2009-05-23 [moira hawthorne]: well Ive been repeatedly kick off.. havent been able to log back... took me forever to get my image up... ET is just being royally fustrating lately
2009-05-23 [Captain Rachel Black]: Grrrr its doing it to me too *kick*
2009-05-23 [Alexi Ice]: I cant ever get on at all.
2009-05-23 [moira hawthorne]: cant upload! ;_;
2009-06-01 [Talkris]: Woo! I won something! I've never won any of the contests on ET before. This is exciting. ^_^
I never had any issues getting on or uploading. Maybe ET just likes me. ^.~
2009-06-01 [sweet.tx.tea]: XD This is quite thrilling!
2009-06-01 [Cillamoon]: WWHHHHHHEEEEEE
2009-06-03 [member181737]: Congrats All =)
2009-06-06 [Xuan.]: i've got to take myself off the list until i can get a computer!!!
2009-06-06 [▲.]: All we need is one more to begin...
2009-06-06 [Cillamoon]: Yes, just one more!!! Anyone? Anyone at all seeing this and is interested????
2009-06-06 [sweet.tx.tea]: I would, but my sister is competing. We made a pact not to compete against eachother. :P
2009-06-06 [i'i]: i wanna play!
2009-06-07 [i'i]: :D, I think I did. I put my name up there some where. Is that all I have to do?
2009-06-07 [member181737]: I think in the wrong place, if nine was speaking from sarcasm;p
2009-06-07 [i'i]: I think so too. I didn't sign up in the list that says :
Contestants For Round 13 Are: because I figured I was too late...
2009-06-07 [Cillamoon]: You are not too late at all! I will move your name there, anyone object to starting Monday?
2009-06-07 [member181737]: Monday sounds fine.
2009-06-07 [i'i]: Whew! Awesome. And nope. Monday sounds great.
2009-06-07 [Cillamoon]: Wonderful!
2009-06-07 [i'i]: I have another question, what would you class as a manipulation? Any kind of post-processin
2009-06-07 [Nioniel]: woohoo! mucho excited!
2009-06-07 [▲.]: Monday! Fantastic! I'm excited to begin.
2009-06-07 [Elmiira]: Indigo Girl: I answer on Cillamoons behalf, but she can make objections, if I say something wrong. :) Earlier in this contest everything that alters the photo after uploading it on computer counts as manipulation. So things like cropping, altering the levels, brightness, contrast etc. is manipulation and therefore not allowed. (Though if you do these tastefully, I doupt anyone would notice, but anyway :P) In the last few rounds black and white and sepia photos have been allowed, as most of the digital cameras can take them (It's not actually mofified if it's originally taken as black and white). I'm not sure if these are still allowed in the new round, Cillamoon?
2009-06-07 [i'i]: Thank you very much for the information! okay, gotcha. Luckily I worked out all the intricacies of my camera and learned to do some pretty cool things using only my camera! Yay!
2009-06-07 [Cillamoon]: Elmiira darling, I am so glad you popped in, and thank you for answering for me (I greatly appreciate it ^_^). Yes, you are absolutely correct in your statements above, and yes Black and White is still allowed, but I don't want it being used for every single picture taken, I want it to be a rarity but I think it is fine to allow it. Unless it gets out of hand, then Elmiira and I will speak privately and come to a new decision.
2009-06-08 [Elmiira]: your welcome cilla, and i'm going to follow this round again.. :) I could host one in july maybe, but I'm not sure yet. problem is that I might not get on the internet every day..
2009-06-08 [Cillamoon]: Just let me know how your schedule works out and we'll plan it. :)
2009-06-08 [Elmiira]: Yes, we'll see. I'm quite bisy normally so I don't have time to come online everyday :P That's why hosting this competition requires some work from me.. Maybe if I got someone else, a friend of mine, who could promise to come to put the theme up if I don't get home on time.. If I called the person and told him/her the theme I was planning. Maybe that would work :)
2009-06-08 [Cillamoon]: That would work for me, just let me know when you want to host again, that way I can participate. ^_^
2009-06-08 [▲.]: So we're not starting today, is that my understanding?
2009-06-08 [Cillamoon]: Noes! We ARE starting today!
2009-06-08 [Cillamoon]: I'm sorry, I have been running around all day and didn't get that far on ET as to finish sending out the emails to everyone letting them know that today was the day! I'm so sorry.
2009-06-08 [member181737]: Some one's living the theme! And I thought I was an artist, touche!
2009-06-08 [▲.]: Awh, so... where's the theme? o.o; I'm so dumb. ;_;
2009-06-09 [member181737]: Under the "entries" wiki(http://elftown
Cheers
2009-06-09 [Cillamoon]: [member181737] I actually laughed! I thought your comment was hilarious and I'm still wondering if you mean I was living the theme today! LOL :) But seriously, I'm Late! is the theme for today. I'm sorry if I confused a few. x_x But yes, [member181737] is correct, the theme is found if you click on the 10 Days Of Photography - Entries link listed on this page above, it will take you directly to the theme of the day, as well as the area for you to post your daily theme, and your own wiki page to store all ten pictures. Just let me know if you have any further questions.
2009-06-09 [member181737]: hahaha something like that!
2009-06-09 [Cillamoon]: What did you truly mean???
2009-06-09 [▲.]: Oh, sure! Thanks!
2009-06-09 [member181737]: That you were living the theme today haha
2009-06-09 [▲.]: Haha.
2009-06-16 [sweet.tx.tea]: Squee! XD
2009-06-16 [Akayume]: I want to enter this, I think. (:
2009-06-16 [Elmiira]: Akayume, you can now sign up for the next round in the Upcoming rounds section. :)
2009-06-16 [Nioniel]: [sweet.tx.tea], you're a judge now! Congrats!
2009-06-16 [Elmiira]: I added a new "rule" in the "things to note" section. The rule and reasons for it are up there. I hope everyone will notice and read it. If you have something to ask about it, I'll try to explain. :)
2009-06-16 [Triola]: Do we have to add a date to the pictures already added?
2009-06-16 [Cillamoon]: Ummm.....I think we are just going to do it from here on out.
2009-06-16 [Triola]: Mmmmkay :)
2009-06-16 [sweet.tx.tea]: !! Thank you! XD
2009-06-16 [Elmiira]: it's going to start on the next round I think. it's more clear that way. :)
2009-06-17 [drakkar]: *ponders entering*
2009-06-17 [Akayume]: Oke I shall! :D
2009-06-17 [Cillamoon]: Hurray!
2009-06-17 [drakkar]: meh what the heck i'll give it a shot
2009-06-17 [Cillamoon]: Whoop!
2009-06-17 [drakkar]: *starts rebooting creativity hat*
2009-06-17 [Consciously Unconscious]: I really wanna sign up for a round :)
2009-06-17 [Cillamoon]: Shall I sign you up for the next round?
2009-06-17 [Captain Rachel Black]: oh are we supposed to ask? I just got the impression that we were just supposed to sign up our names *_*
2009-06-17 [Cillamoon]: No! You never have to ask!
2009-06-17 [Captain Rachel Black]: Oh good, I thought I was headed for another epic fail xD
2009-06-17 [Consciously Unconscious]: That would be awesome :) haha
2009-06-18 [drakkar]: :3 ohh tough competition x3
2009-06-18 [Cillamoon]: pppfffttt tough competition! Join in!!!
2009-06-18 [drakkar]: x3 im already on the list just waitin for the reveal of the first topic x3 wonder if it will have a big iron chef like unveiling xD
2009-06-18 [member181737]: Iron chef's nothing compared to this dude, There was even a fireworks show here...well that could have been from a baseball game, but it worked well:)
2009-06-18 [Elmiira]: I only get back home on sunday 21th in the evening, but I could still participate this time, if it's fine to you Cilla? :)
2009-06-18 [cortexius]: so whens the next competition I got me camera itchin to take pics....lol..
2009-06-18 [Cillamoon]: [Elmiira], did you want to be one of the contestants? That would be lovely if you would!!!
[cortexius] the next round of this competition starts on the 20th.
2009-06-18 [Consciously Unconscious]: Do we have to post the pictures EVERY day?? Because Sunday-Wednesd
2009-06-18 [Cillamoon]: It is preferred if you do, but not required. I understand completely how the real world life is, and that not everyone can get online every day. So no worries, if you miss a day or two, all themes are posted under Theme Suggestions for you to see and catch up on.
2009-06-18 [Consciously Unconscious]: Ok! Thank you. I just realized that I would be gone.
2009-06-18 [Cillamoon]: No worries! :)
2009-06-18 [Consciously Unconscious]: Great :) Thank again.
2009-06-18 [drakkar]: suppose id better give that heads up to then as our internet like to take naps when we seem to need it the most, though i will try and get the posts up when there due
2009-06-19 [Consciously Unconscious]: is there a way to know the theme ahead of time, seeing how i'll have no internet connection for like 4 days
2009-06-19 [Cillamoon]: No, for this contest the theme is not announced until the day the theme occurs.
2009-06-19 [Cillamoon]: But don't let this set you back, there is always time to catch up.
2009-06-19 [Consciously Unconscious]: so it's alright if i hurry and do them all the day i get back? ^_^ lol
2009-06-19 [Cillamoon]: Yes, that is completely fine. :)
2009-06-19 [Consciously Unconscious]: ok thank :) this is gonna be great.
2009-06-19 [Cillamoon]: YAY!! :D I'm so glad you are in it too! *squee! loves participation*
2009-06-19 [Consciously Unconscious]: Lol, this is pretty much the first time I ever did anything like this haha
2009-06-19 [sweet.tx.tea]: I think you will enjoy it!
2009-06-19 [Consciously Unconscious]: :) i'm a little nervous haha
2009-06-19 [sweet.tx.tea]: Oh, I was, too. The important thing is to have fun and be kind of creative with it. Look for something that others would never think of, but that still leaves the viewer with the idea of the theme.
2009-06-19 [Consciously Unconscious]: I'll try :)
2009-06-19 [Cillamoon]: You'll do fine I'm sure. :)
2009-06-19 [Akayume]: I am so excitedd! (:
I have a question: If we can't upload every day, but do take a picture everyday, can we still put our pictures up late?
2009-06-19 [Cillamoon]: Answer: Absolutely!
2009-06-19 [Cillamoon]: There's even two days after the 10 themes/days have passed for you to finish uploading before judging occurs.
2009-06-19 [Akayume]: All right, thanks! (: I'm sometimes too busy to fiddle with my ever-slow computer and upload pictures, so I was getting a little worried there. o____o
2009-06-20 [sweet.tx.tea]: I FINALLY HAVE MY TERABYTE HARDDRIVE!! EVERYONE CAN CELLEBRATE NOW!
2009-06-20 [Cillamoon]: *dances & hands out champagne* Wooohoo!!!!
2009-06-20 [drakkar]: wooooo 1TB for teh win i know that joy all to well xD
2009-06-21 [drakkar]: hmmm if i stay up until midnight i can get the jump on the theme xD
2009-06-21 [Nioniel]: ooohhh...are we about to find out winners?
2009-06-21 [sweet.tx.tea]: Hopefully, soon. We are waiting on [Elmiira]. We may have to post a bit later this evening.
2009-06-21 [Elmiira]: I'm sorry if I was a bit unclear. :) I meant to say that I agree what you voted so just put up what you got. I think the same way. I came so late that I thought I didn't have any time to vote anymore. :/
2009-06-21 [sweet.tx.tea]: Oh! ^___^ Sweet. Alright, then I will text Cilla and let her know that. All is well. I was just a bit confused. My thought was, "Crap. This needs to be posted. We have to get 14 ready to go. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
2009-06-21 [Nioniel]: Alrighty then!
:D
2009-06-21 [sweet.tx.tea]: Is it okay if we have several ties on themes? Seeing as you and I have the same, Cilla voted a bit differently. I was thinking of just combining our choices, or every other one that is not consistant...m
2009-06-21 [sweet.tx.tea]: Nevermind. I answered my own question...
2009-06-21 [sweet.tx.tea]: Congrats to everyone!
2009-06-21 [sweet.tx.tea]: [drakkar], have you already participated once, or did you create a page for your entries already?
2009-06-21 [drakkar]: created a page so i wouldnt have to do it later
2009-06-21 [sweet.tx.tea]: Haha! I thought so. Unfortunately, I have to edit it. We want them kind of uniform so that it's all the same and easy to follow. I will leave your note at the bottom. No need to worry in the future. We will create one for you.
2009-06-21 [drakkar]: i see i was unaware but shall keep this information for future reference
2009-06-21 [sweet.tx.tea]: I suppose we should make a note. HAH. Sorry to all who did not know. Your wikis are ready to go. XD
2009-06-21 [drakkar]: :3 *starts pondering where to go to shoot*
2009-06-22 [Cillamoon]: Just getting home all from being in San Diego all day visiting my mom. Congrats [Triola]!!!! And congrats to all other winners as well. [sweet.tx.tea], thank you for filling in for me in my absense, I really do appreciate it!!! As a side note, I noticed there was a question as to the participants wiki entry pages for this contest, all please note that the pages are usually created for you, no need to create your own. ^_^
2009-06-22 [sweet.tx.tea]: No problem, Dearest.
2009-06-22 [Akayume]: And for that... thank you!
2009-07-02 [Akayume]: I was wondering.. Is it oke that I took a bunch of the pictures today? O____O
2009-07-02 [Akayume]: Because I did, and if they don't count I can take them down.
2009-07-02 [Cillamoon]: You should be fine to post what you need to post, as long as it fits the theme. I believe you are in the proper time range for taking them.
2009-07-02 [Akayume]: All right. O___O
2009-07-02 [Captain Rachel Black]: do we have one day of catch up tommorow?
2009-07-02 [Cillamoon]: I'm thinking about extending it through till Monday so everyone can catch up. There's been a sore lack of participation this round, and I want to give everyone ample time to submit so the round still has a chance to turn around and be as fantastic as the others.
2009-07-02 [Captain Rachel Black]: That would be fantastic because I have tons of ideas for what I want to do I just have to find a time to take the shots >.>
2009-07-02 [Cillamoon]: No worries, it's a long weekend so I'm sure it will give ppl enough time to submit what they would like to as a lot of us are off for the majority of the remainder of the week.
2009-07-02 [drakkar]: ._. im gunna be so bored now that ive nothing to shoot...then again its not like i have the good camera anymore anyway
2009-07-08 [Akayume]: No winners announced yet? DX
2009-07-08 [Cillamoon]: This morning actually they will be announced. Sorry for the delay, things have been extremly out of kilt the past two days.
2009-07-08 [Akayume]: Naw, it's all good. :D I understand.
2009-07-08 [drakkar]: hooray x3
2009-07-09 [Xuan.]: i want to join but i have no idea where to find out what the theme is and until i can get to my canon rebel xs, or my powershoot i will have to use my 1.5 mega. on my phone.
2009-07-09 [pixish]: The theme is updated daily during the competition at 10 Days of Photography - Entries :)
The competition is a continuing one, so you could wait until you have your other cameras if you wanted to.
2009-07-10 [drakkar]: *considers joining the next round
2009-07-13 [member181737]: Cool update :)

2009-07-14 [pixish]: They're new badges :3 I can make a similar themed banner though :)
2009-07-14 [LynnAnneBrown]: Is it too late to get in on round 15
2009-07-14 [member181737]: Once all 10 slots are filled, then it's too late.
2009-07-14 [sweet.tx.tea]: Love the new badges! XD
2009-07-14 [Cillamoon]: Yay Raven! How lovely to have you!

2009-07-14 [Chimes]: XD
2009-07-14 [LynnAnneBrown]: Thankyou
2009-07-14 [Alexi Ice]: Can I invite people?
2009-07-14 [sweet.tx.tea]: DO IT!
2009-07-14 [Alexi Ice]: Awesome.
2009-07-17 [Cillamoon]: Anyone else up for the new round?
2009-07-17 [member181737]: I would be, but I'm going to be gone for a while, and won't have access to electricity :(..
2009-07-17 [Cillamoon]: All: I would like to start the new round on Monday if at all possible. So far we have five more spots to fill, join in! If you were not in the last round, you are more than welcome to add your name to the current list. If you were in the last round but would like to participate in the future, there are places above that you can sign your name next to and I will contact you for Round 16. Either way, hopefully we will have enough participants by Monday to start Round 15. Tell your friends to join in as well if they would like to!
2009-07-17 [Linderel]: *considers*
2009-07-18 [pixish]: I'll see how I go :p Hopefully I will be able to make an entry per day >_<
2009-07-18 [sweet.tx.tea]: Cilla, did you want me to still compete in 15, seeing as I have my new computer?
2009-07-19 [Cillamoon]: Jane darling, if you would like to I would love it!
2009-07-19 [sweet.tx.tea]: Then I shall! GUESS WHAT!? I have a successful dual boot of Windows XP and Linux!
2009-07-19 [Cillamoon]: YAY!!!!! *dances* XD
2009-07-20 [Akayume]: Only three more! :D Three more peoplesss!
2009-07-20 [Cillamoon]: Good Morning!!!! I'm making pages right now for everyone, all participants who signed up for this current Round, please raise your hand if you are agreeable to having the first theme posted today. It will only take me not even a half hour to make the pages and get them up, then I will be able to post the first theme.
2009-07-20 [Cillamoon]: Any last minute watchers that would like to sign up for this round, you have a half hour to do it in. :)
2009-07-20 [Linderel]: ...what about people who weren't online during this half-hour you gave?
2009-07-20 [Cillamoon]: If you are still online, and would like to participate, please sign up now! I'm still creating ....
2009-07-20 [Linderel]: :P Silly person.
2009-07-20 [Cillamoon]: :D ^_^
2009-07-20 [Cillamoon]: Seriously, I think this is going to be one of the funnest rounds yet, all the high rollers are involved! Only wish I was participating myself now, but it will be just as much fun to watch it all form and come together! I'm p-s-y-c-h-e-d! Or is that psychotic? lol XD
2009-07-20 [Cillamoon]: Anyone else? I'm closing it down momentarily if there are no others.
2009-07-20 [Linderel]: I think you might want to wait a few hours.
2009-07-20 [Cillamoon]: Okay guys, so we'll start things off tomorrow! FIRST THEME FOR CURRENT ROUND WILL BE POSTED TOMORROW! That way everyone has a chance to see that we are ready to start and not be caugh unawares. ^_^
2009-07-24 [Kaimee]: Ooooh, badges are super pretty btw ^^
2009-07-24 [Cillamoon]: Pixish made them, aren't they lovely? ^_^
2009-07-24 [Kaimee]: I detected the work of the pixity :P
2009-07-24 [Cillamoon]: LOL! The work of the pixity, I love it! That is too funny!
2009-07-24 [Kaimee]: Hehe, you obviously don't encounter me enough, in my mind what I just said was perfectly normal :P
2009-07-24 [Cillamoon]: Oh I'm sure! :) I love seeing witty comments that others post, always brings a smile (and often a laugh) to me.
2009-07-27 [member181737]: There are Jaguars in Arizona.
2009-07-27 [Cillamoon]: Pixish, you are wonderful! Love the new banner!!!! Thank you!!! It is wonderful! I will be posting that in my house now! ^_^
Nick....what the bloody hell are you referencing about Arizona??? Msg me when you get this & let me know.
2009-07-27 [pixish]: ^__^ I thought it needed a bit of updating :p
2009-07-27 [Cillamoon]: I agree and it is lovely!
2009-07-30 [Kaimee]: Yeah, you have my approval on that as well :P
2009-08-10 [Cillamoon]: Congratulation
2009-08-10 [Akayume]: Yess! :D
