Summer Memories Contest

Once you know your assigned partner and theme I suggest to brainstorm with ideas.  You have ONE week from the time you are given you assignments until it is due.  DON'T RUSH!  Talk it over with your partner.  Each of you are required to make an editted photo (NO ANIMATIONS) that depicts the theme as well as a story of no more than 150 words.  Work together even if your ideas don't match because each of you may have a different idea and will be able to portray that separetely....but, you will be judged as a couple, so it is very important to give feedback but don't be too harsh.  Once you put the finishing touches on your picture post IT and STORY in the SUMMER MEMORIES Contest Group.  The threads will be marked (FEMALES & MALES) and monitored.  IMPORTANT! Once you submit there is NO changes allowed.  I will then take each picture with their story and post them here for everyone to see and judges to vote.  This will ensure fairness because there will be NO NAMES attached to them.  We will annouce the winner each week.  We will also list judges comments on ALL pictures to help YOU ALL improve.  It's a WIN WIN situation. 

~GUIDELINES~

*Each of you must have the contest banner up on your homepage.
*Check this website often.  You will learn of your partners and themes here.
*Each of you will edit your own picture so there is NO helping your partner UNLESS by written instructions on how to use a certain feature of Photoshop or Gimp.  Meaning:  DO NOT touch each other's photos to edit!
*Each of you will display a "story" that will also depict the nature of your photo to the theme.  No more than 150 words.
*You will post your picture in a thread made just for the pictures in the SUMMER MEMORIES group.  I will then take that code and place it here.
*Poses, clothing, background, etc. MUST ALL BE FOR GENERAL AUDIENCE!  Besides that, what you wear and what pose(s) you pick is entirely up to you.
