    TSR photo competition
    Welcome to the TSR photo competition!

    In the past we ran a design competition, whereby a TSR member designed our TSR birthday logo - that was then used across the site and viewed by millions of users. That was hugely successful, so we want to do something similar with your photos!

    In light of the new TSR homepage, we want to do something in a similar vein using member imagery alongside our own to be used in the 'pods' on the site (the rectangular boxes). Your images could be viewed by millions of unique users across the site. A credit to your work and your portfolio

    The task is simple, check out the criteria and rules below and submit as many images as you wish. There can only be one winner, but you can enter as many times as you like

    Just upload your pics to this thread by 30th July.

    We're giving away a £20 Amazon voucher to the winner, and 2x £10 vouchers to runners up. Judging will be done by our in-house design team (the more creative of minds at TSR HQ ).



    Criteria and rules


    - The theme is 'real' images of everyday life, looking as real as possible – no posing! Even better if these are pictures of students or student life. These can be taken with a basic camera, we won't be judging your editing skills
    - Work must be your own, and by submitting your photos you agree that these are your own
    - Closing date: 30/07/2012

    Any questions just shout.

    Blah Blah
    Question CJ. Are we allowed to submit more than 1?
    Also you say the theme is 'real' image from everyday life? Can you go into any more detail as to what you're not looking for?

    Here's my entry:
    A 1970's single tier spiral car park, hidden amongst the back streets on Newcastle city centre.


    A bee searching for pollen on a rare summers day.


    Two friendly ducks coming to say hello / Two greedy ducks coming to steal my food!


    More back streets of Newcastle.

    Edit: Available in higher quality / bigger in size if needed!

    Going through my flickr trying to find suitable entries. I don't think any from my Harry Potter Studios visit will meet the everyday criteria.

    I checked out your deleted post and that's fine - it appears larger when you click it.

    Otherwise you can put the image URL in [IMG] tags.

    So like... [IMG]somethinginhere[/IMG]

    Wow, some absolutely stunning photos in this thread. Here's a few from me - I'm certainly no professional photographer but I enjoy the moments. Some were taken in my hometown, a few others taken in London and Oxford.

    *The cloud photo attached as a thumbnail wasn't supposed to be included, but I'm useless at this whole uploading thing so I'm afraid this post is a bit of a mess.

    Thanks! I can't remember which ones were from which rolls because I never stick to one kind of film but they're either Kodak Colour Plus, Kodak Max, Fujifilm Xtra or Fujifilm Superia, 200 or 400 ISO.
