I'm new to this and I just posted my 2 pictures, which came out sideways. Any way I can fix this or at least remove them from the contest?

Thanks.

There are several links on the contest page that will take you directly to the upload page. It will default to the contest gallery so you just need to select your images (2 max) and that should be that.

Or you can click the big old Galleries button on the toolbar, choose Upload Images, and then choose the contest from this dropdown before you pick your photos to upload. Easy!

Cheers, thanks

Uploaded a photo as per JD's instructions, but can't see it there. The Camel went kaput for a while so that could be the reason.

Try it again, and be sure you click process images on the second screen. Read the screens, scoll all the way down.

What second screen. Maybe I should post a screen grab of what I'm seeing.

[aam1234]

Couldn't find the first upload.

If anybody is interested, the photo is called "Have some, uncle". It's nothing special, so don't recommend spending time/effort finding it.

cheers again

I have uploaded two images for the selective focus contest.

My question is 'How do you vote for the best image'?

Mark

[Paul Shields]

Mark, the voting will occur once the submission date has passed - 29th April. At that point we will turn the voting system on.

[aam1234]

Photo uploaded, it was waiting in a queue.

[aam1234]

How many votes do we have...hope it's a lot, because there are some great photos there. So much so that I'm thinking of removing my entry.

Excellent work everybody.

[aam1234]

Also, do you guys mind if I invite some people to participate here. They are the guys I've been photo-contesting with in the last few years (I'm sure Max knows what I'm referring to).

[Paul Shields]

Not at all. Looking at the entries we seem to be getting people signing up just to enter and not posting, so won't be any different.

You could try and urge them to contribute to the site too .
