Welcome
Laughing Dog Radio would like to invite you to enter your best pet photo in our monthly digital photography competitions.
ONLY ENTER ONE PHOTO PER CONTEST PLEASE.
HOW TO ENTER: Each photo must be submitted electronically, by one (and only one) of the following two methods:
* Via Flickr™ .
To submit your photos via Flickr™, use your Yahoo!® ID to login to www.flickr.com. If you do not have an account, you can sign-up for free at www.flickr.com. Flickr™ and Yahoo!® are trademarks of Yahoo, Inc. After logging in, upload your images using the mechanism provided. If you are not already a member of Laughing Dog Radio's group on Flickr™, join by clicking "Join this Group?" on the group's homepage.
Browse to the image you wish to submit for the contest, and use the "Send to Group" function to add your images to Laughing Dog Radio's photo pool. Once added to the group, tag each photo with “LDRPC-mo/yr” (e.g., OCT/09). If you do not upload your photo to Laughing Dog Radio's group on Flickr™, or do not tag your photo with an appropriate tag, it will not be considered for the competition.
If you have trouble using Flickr™, please consult their online help files. Laughing Dog Radio's is not responsible for any issues or problems you encounter while trying to upload a photo on Flickr™.
* Via Manual Submission Process.
If you choose not to use Flickr™ to submit your image, you can email your photo and information to LDR Contests.
Laughing Dog Radio reserves the right to upload photos submitted through this process to its public group on Flickr™.
ELIGIBILITY AND JUDGING: To ensure eligibility for the contest, entries must have a resolution of 6 million pixels or greater (6 megapixels). Resolution can be calculated by multiplying the pixel width of the image with the pixel height. For example, a photograph taken with a 6 megapixel camera set for the highest resolution and best quality produces images approximately 2832 pixels by 2128 pixels, which are acceptable under the rules (2832 x 2128 = 6 million). Images that do not meet this standard may or may not be judged at the judging panel's sole discretion.
Entries may originate in any format -- including, but not limited to digital files, digital prints, color transparencies, color prints, or black and white prints -- so long as they are submitted electronically. Previously published material for which non-exclusive rights were granted may be entered as long as you still maintain the right to grant us a license (see "Your Rights" ). You must be able to disclose when and where the photo appeared previously to Laughing Dog Radio upon request.
Images will be judged on originality, technical excellence, composition, overall impact and artistic merit and theme. The judges are a panel of Laughing Dog Radio members familiar with photography . Laughing Dog Radio shall determine winner eligibility at its sole and absolute discretion. All decisions made by the judges are final.
DEADLINES: Entry dates and public voting for the grand-prize winner will be posted monthly.
Laughing Dog Radio reserves the right to adjust any deadline(s) for any reason and at any time.
WINNING PHOTOS: The judging panel will select up to 20 photos to be the contest’s "Finalists" and "Honorable Mentions". The general public will select the "Grand Prize Winner" during the "Voter's Choice Awards," from a pool of Finalists determined by the judging panel.
The grand-prize winner's image will be printed in the 2011 Laughing Dog Radio calendar. All entrants featured in the calendar will receive a copy of the calendar. Proceeds from the sale of the calendar will be donated to rescue groups and organizations who are trying to help our abandoned, abused, and neglected pets here in the US, and around the world.
Please review the full rules before entering...and good luck!
