    Lightbulb New Frontroom Contest

    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.

    Thank you

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

    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.)

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

    Not that anyone uses a 12" monitor.
