Specialist Photo Competition 1 - RAF Mildenhall

Post by reaper493 » Wed Oct 18, 2023 12:21 pm

In an effort to shake up the Photo competitions a little, and give more people a change to enter, we've got a couple of one off competitions.

This is the 1st one, and is dedicated to RAF Mildenhall.

The prize will be a copy of Mick Britton's (FC user F3) Mildenhall Air Fete book to the winner of the competition.

1. Only one entry per user, unless posting on behalf of another person who is unable to do so themselves (children for example). If this is the case, please state so on your entry.
2. The photograph must be taken at RAF Mildenhall at any point in time, the photo can be of any subject you like, as long as there is some military aviation connection.
3. The image can be photo-shopped to some extent, levels changes, cropping, sharpening etc. are all acceptable. The photograph must retain it’s initial subject though, don’t make it something it’s not (cutting and pasting the moon into the shot, for example). HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.
4. The competition will remain open until 23.59 on the 30th November 2023 (UK time).
5. The voting will be carried out by you, the members of FC, by a poll which will be created at the closing of the competition.
6. Moderators/Administrators will not be exempt from the competition, but cannot vote for their own entry.
7. The decision of the moderating team is final.
9. All images must be posted in line with the usual FC posting rules
10. The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.
11. Please do not comment on entries other than your own.
12. Prizes are available for UK entrants only

Good luck everyone - and thanks for Sponsoring these Mick.

If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!
