New Frontroom Contest

[Beirut]

BKS & Beirut are mostly proud to present the first in a series of Frontroom contests.

Contest #1: Submit a photo essay entitled “The Perfect Day”.

The idea – post a series of pics that present your idea of the perfect day. The food, the women, the location, the music, the toys, the cars, the bars, the stars, anything that you would include in your perfect day.

The Rules:

-One entry per member.
-No editing.
-Text limited to short photo captions.
-Pics within Frontroom rules. No nastiness or nakedness.
-Pics must be 800x600 or smaller. Oversized and hotlinked pics will be deleted. (!)
-Limit of eight pics per post.
-No commenting on other posts. Just do your own thing.
-AMs & Mods can post but not win.
-Use the official thread below for your entries.

At the end of it all, a secret panel of biased and unfair judges will pick the best post and that person will receive a unique and blisteringly stupid prize. Open from now until midnight January 21.

Have fun!

Beirut, for us ignorant n00bs who don't know exactly how big a 800 x 600 picture would look like, please post a sample. :help:

Thank you

Thank you

800x600 is roughly the size of a 15" monitor I believe.

[Beirut]

Right click on your pic, chose properties and that will give you a size. Any Paint program or Photoshop will tell you as well. Also, go into the Babe thread and right click on a pic, it will tell you the pixel size and will give you a good idea of what is what.

Your pic should be visible side to side in the thread without having to scroll to the right to see all of it. Not all monitors are the same size or set to the same rez, but 800x600 is a good rule of thumb. (Soly's rule of thumb if memory serves.)

[Reenk Roink]

Thankyoumuch :2thumbsup:

800x600 is roughly the size of a 15" monitor I believe.

1024x768 is a 15" monitor. 800x600 would be 12", I think.

Not that anyone uses a 12" monitor.

Hey, do we get an award like the 'HF' awards that go down by your avatar and info?

Cuz I'd submit if that's the case!:2thumbsup:

[Reenk Roink]

I'm in the process of compiling images...

This is a good contest, it truly takes dedication...

[Alexanderofmacedon]

I had to edit. The pictures were too big and messed up my formating. I didn't change any words or anything during the day i swear. You can check the edit time. It's very close to the time i posted in the thread. Please don't disqualify me!:embarassed: :wall:

:oops:

[The Stranger]

i had the same...i didnt knew there were rules but i also didnt changed words...only added the pic after i found out it needed pics :P

[Ianofsmeg16]

Well, I've submitted my entry, I hope Y'all like it!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

1024x768 is a 15" monitor. 800x600 would be 12", I think.

Not that anyone uses a 12" monitor.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Wow, your icons must be miniscule.

[Adrian II]

Wow, your icons must be miniscule.No sexual slights please!

Your manager ~:pimp:

[Gawain of Orkeny]

If Soly is allowed to participate we all might as well go home.:help:

[ajaxfetish]

He can participate but not win! So post your mediocre attempt for a chance to beat his amazing one anyway, haha.

Ajax

edit: not to say yours would be mediocre, Gawain, it's just a relativity thing.

[Zalmoxis]

The joy of frontroom contests, alright, time to put my thinking cap on...

[Beirut]

I hope some of you guys take the time to join in. The forums here are only interesting if the members make them interesting.

These are your forums, we're just trying to organize a bit of fun.

I posted once, but although my images were uploaded to an image hoster succesfully, they did not show up, so I had to edit my post. Now it's working alright and I hope my entry is still valid. :embarassed:

[Adrian II]

Now it's working alright and I hope my entry is still valid. :embarassed:It looks fine, and I am sure it is. I hear one of the judges is going to be a Turkish computer geek..

Hey, I love that smiley, hehe.

[Adrian II]

Hey, I love that smiley, hehe.And I love doner! But um, there is some bad news. I hear the judge is going to be a Belgian after all. One who just broke up with his girlfriend and doesn't want anything to do with lovestories..

Does the Belgian judge who just broke up with his girlfriend and doesn't want anything to do with lovestories love doner?..Well..Erm..Ahem..*cough*

[Adrian II]

Does the Belgian judge who just broke up with his girlfriend and doesn't want anything to do with lovestories love doner?..Well..Erm..Ahem..*cough*Wait, I hear the plan has changed and a Marquise of plebeian taste has been appointed as sole judge of our efforts. She is bound to dislike my use of modern art...

[Gregoshi]

I entered my submission and then decided to read the rules. I'm most certainly in violation of the "text limited to short photo captions" rule...but "short" is such a subjective term, right? :no: Oh well.

[Viking]

Now I`ve participated too.. The 5 days for this contest went a bit faster than expected, so I didn`t make my entry entirely what I wanted it to be. :book:

[Mikeus Caesar]

Tell me, can your essay consist of badly drawn pictures made with MS Paint, or does it have to be a photo essay?

[A.Saturnus]

It´s over now anyway. For me, there´s only one contender.

[Ianofsmeg16]

Who WHO!!!!??

[Leonin Khan]

when the contest is over...then why isnt it closed and stickied?

[Beirut]

We'll close it tomorrow.

Mayyyyybe one or two more people will kick in.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

But they can't win because it was supposed to end beforehand...:2thumbsup:

[Ianofsmeg16]

When will the results be in....when can i stop worrying?

[Beirut]

When will the results be in....when can i stop worrying?

As your doctor I advise you to stop worrying and spend a few minutes in the Babe Thread seeking lascivious enlightenment.
