This week we’re going to do 'Sporting Events' 
Here are the RULES – please read them VERY CAREFULLY before taking your photograph and submitting it for entry.
1. The photograph must show some sort of sporting event in action. It can be any sport you like – football, baseball, athletics, rugby, swimming gala, etc. Here are a few examples:
Football
Tour de France
Golf
2. You have until 9 p.m. GMT Friday 21st July to submit your photograph. I am afraid that I will not accept late entries from anyone.
3. You are only allowed to submit ONE photograph[/b].
4. The photograph you submit must be your own work, i.e. it has to have been taken by you. Don’t submit something your friend or family took, or something you found on the internet. It is a very sad and unfair thing to do.
5. The photograph must NOT be manipulated in any way using Photoshop or any other such programme. This competition is about how good a photograph you can take, not about what you can do with an image using Photoshop, etc. That is what the Fan Art forum is for.
6. I will not impose a size restriction on photographs submitted – this I will leave up to you. However, one thing I must mention here is that you keep in mind some people have dial-up internet connection. Although I intend to post the entries as a series of links, very large photos will take a while to load up for this type of connection and can also stretch the screen. So please, the only thing I ask is that you are considerate, and be sensible not to submit anything overly-large. If I think a photo is too big for this reason, I may ask you to re-size it to something smaller.
7. This competition (like the icon challenges in Fan Art) is an anonymous one – this means you MUST NOT POST YOUR PHOTOGRAPH HERE. If you do, it will be disqualified, otherwise your friends will see it and may vote for it even if there are better photographs submitted. In addition to this, don’t go around telling people which photograph is yours and getting them to vote for it – that is a very sad and lowly thing to do, and the voting for this competition should be unbiased.
Once you have taken your photograph, you should upload it to your own web space, such as a Photobucket account, and pm me the link.
If people consistently do not follow these rules, or I see signs of any unfairness, I will not hesitate to stop these competitions. The rules are to make things fair, so please do follow them so everyone can enjoy the competitions.
Winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) will each receive a banner. Any questions, please either post them here, pm or email me.
Now that you have READ THE RULES, you can go find some sports events to snap!
