The goal of these competitions is to create a huge library of FREE Reference Pictures.

Time to next deadline:

Rules

1. Images that you submit here will be considered public domain.

2. If you don't want the images to be public domain, but for example use creative commons license, then the wiki or the photos have to be clearly marked as such. (Non-free images will only count as 1/10 of a free images for the photograph badges.)

3. Create a new wiki-page for your photos
Submit the photos by adding a link to an Elftown wiki-page in the appropriate wiki. All the images must be uploaded to Elftown. If you go to your house and press "upload a folder of images", you'll get a nice page automatically.

4. If you have many pages, place them together and arrange them as well as possible.
All the pages will be counted as your work and the more the better! You should have short but well written comments to all or many of the photos and name them with titles! (Use the box-edit and write at "Title/Keywords:" or write text inside () after the link. Like <img:stuff/fighting_cat.jpg>(Fighting cat))

- Make sure the pages have good names!
Don't make pages with names like "various photos" or "John's stuff", but write just what the page is about. "Pictures of John fighting" is not as good as "Photos of sword warrior fighting". You might include an image of John resting afterwards, but if you have many of these images, make "warrior resting" instead and link to that (Even if it's not part of the contest).

- Make links, place keywords and use the description-part.
The links should point to relevant things, of course. Add more links when others submit pages and help each other to put relevant links on all pages.

As soon as the images are on Elftown, we'll try to use the pages or copy the images to reference pictures.

3. All photos must adhere to the uploading art rules of Elftown.
Which basically means that they must be your photos.

4. By submitting the images here, you agree on letting them to be free for any kind of usage.
Elftown will incite people to tell that the images are from you and Elftown, but we'll not enforce that. So the images might be used for homepages, for photo-manipulations and drawing references.

5. If there are recognizable humans in the photos, you must have express written consent before their photos may be displayed here.
If you like, you may choose to use the Elftown Media Release Form.

6. No animals or humans should be hurt while taking these photos.
Use caution and don't take any unnecessary risks.

7. The pages you submit must be exported.
The reason for this is simple: If the pages are not exported people might copy them to other web-pages and neither Elftown nor you would get any credit for them.

Winning

Winners from each category will be selected by public poll. The Winner will be awarded this nifty badge:



Participants will receive a version of this cute little badge:



What we want are photos that are useful for artists. The photos should be pretty big, as sharp as possible and contain little more than the subject(s). We want many kinds of subjects, but more important is that we have shots on everything the subject does and from all angles.

Your photos will be ranked higher if they are unique.
