SOMD.com Photography Scavenger Hunt

Hello all, Danzig and I have come up with an idea for a little bit of fun. We have come up with a list of items to do a photo scavenger hunt. You will need to go out and take photos of as many items listed as possible in a 48 hour period. The contest will start Fri. 22nd at midnight and will run until Sun. 24th at midnight. We will post the scavenger hunt list Friday night about midnight.


All pictures must be taken in St Mary’s County, and within the date and time specified. No altered photos…ie. false photoshopped photos.
All photos should be uploaded into your own site gallery. If you don’t have a hosting site, you can find free photo hosting in many places like Yahoo, Google, Photobucket, York Photo, myspace, plus many others. Sunday night you should upload your photos into a gallery and list a link to your gallery in the scavenger hunt thread that we will start. This will give everyone a chance to view your gallery and a chance for us to judge the galleries. There will be two winners, one winner with the most points (points given for correct photos and bonus points per some photos) and a second winner that will be judged on photography skills and overall look of their entier gallery. THis contest will be judged by myself and Danzig. We are not professionals, but someone has to be the judge. We will do galleries also, but will NOT be entered to compete in this contest.
All Photographs will remain photographers sole property and will not be used for any commercial purposes!

We hope that the winner will come up with a list of items for the next contest and judge it. The winner of the contest will not be eligible to compete in the next contest.

You may enter as a two person team as well, you should travel and shoot together. You can enter the best photo or both for each item.

This is created to be fun, cheating or bending the rules just takes the fun out of the entire thing. Anyone caught cheating will be made fun of to no end and outted to the forums as a cheat, plus then kicked in the nuts! Now have fun!!!


If you have any question, you can post them prior to the start of the contest in this thread.

But wait! There are prizes for the winners!

A $50 Willows gift certificate AND a 1-year Premium forum membership for two winners:
  • One winner with most point (points given for correct photos and bonus points per some photos)
  • One winner will be judged on photography skills for their overall gallery.

To be judged by JBR13 and Danzig.

Also, don't forget that you can upload your photos to the Southern Maryland Online photo gallery at Southern Maryland Online MultiMedia Gallery. There is no charge for this service and you can create as many photo galleries as you like.

It's your contest but not a lot of folks in Calvert may be as familiar with the area.
