coasterdude5 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Hi all! Coaster101 is holding its third annual photography contest! Last year's was a huge success with nearly 50 amazing photos showcased. This year we are doing things a bit differently by introducing three entry categories. These categories are: Original (for unedited photos), Edited (photoshopped photos), and Humor (we'll see how this goes). You can learn more about these categories by clicking the link below. If you think you might be interested, click here to read over the rules and enter! We will accept entries through July 26. You can enter one photo per category. Voting will begin closer to the end of July. Please feel free to post here if you have any questions about the contest. I look forward to seeing your entries!

Electerik Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Sure, why not? Doesn't take much to enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 If I have an edited photo of a ride sign, but the ride itself is not included in the picture, can that still be submitted? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hey guys, just a reminder that next Monday, July 26th, is the last day to enter photos in the conest. That gives you plenty of time this weekend to head to your local park and grab a few shots if you haven't been able to choose one to submit! You can enter the contest here.

IBtacoDave Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 What is the size limit of the photos? I've shrunk it three times but after trying to submit the third time I got the following error: Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact administrator by other way.

BBparks57 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I was wondering the same thing, I just tried to submit a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I keep getting a "Failed to send your message" when uploading as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hey guys, the website experienced a technical glitch on Thursday that unfortunately wasn't caught until today. Because of this, I'm going to extend the entry period until Wednesday. I apologize for the inconvenience! Any size photo should be accepted now.

sspaz1000 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hey guys, the website experienced a technical glitch on Thursday that unfortunately wasn't caught until today. Because of this, I'm going to extend the entry period until Wednesday. I apologize for the inconvenience! Any size photo should be accepted now. Still doesn't work. Says my photo is too large. ETA: I don't think files can be larger than 1024x768. When I submitted the original size it said it was too large, so I kept scaling it down until it did and 1024x768 was the first size it accepted.

CoasterExpert13 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Awesome, just submitted two, one for "original" and the other for "edited"...both photos were 800x600 in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Nicole, I've received photos larger than 1024x768 but I'll double check to make sure there isn't something else preventing you from submitting your photos. TPR! We have received a good number of "original" and "edited" entries, but we are severely lacking in the "humor" category. I've seen a TON of hilarious photoshopped photos on this site. You don't have to create a new one for this contest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I was just curious if putting a black border on the photo is considered "Edited", or if I could still enter it in the "Original" category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 No, a black border would not classify the photo as "edited." As long as the picture itself is unedited, that's all that matters. Today is the last day to submit photos! We're still in need of photos in the humorous category!

coasterdude5 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 ^ I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you still weren't able to submit a photo. Next year if you have the same problems I'll let you PM or email them to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 The results are in! Congrats to all the winners! http://www.coaster101.com/2010/08/11/coaster101-2010-photo-contest-results/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude28 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Congrats to the winners and thanks for putting this on again Coaster101. There were some really great pictures submitted. My humor picture got 3rd place Wish I had promoted the voting a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Woohoo, I placed in every category! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Gold Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Great contest, would love to see this one grow a lot bigger, would be really cool if it was as important as Mitch's poll to the community. I had the winners of the edited and humor categories pegged, that cedar point pic is AMAZING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 ^ I don't know if this would ever come close to the epicness of Mitch's poll, but it never hurts to think big! I think next year we're going to do away with the humor and photoshop categories and put more emphasis on true photography. I'm open to any and all suggestions! There's always room for improvement.

BBparks57 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Wow!!!! Thanks for all the votes everybody! I thought I had a decent chance, but after seeing all of the entries, I did not think that I would place let alone get first! I really appreciate it! Thank you everybody! -Brian "I thought all of the entries were incredible" Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
