December Photo Topic

December will be the 36th NAM Monthly Photo Contest.

Follow this link for the: Rules and Submission Instructions The deadline for entry is noon pacific on the 24th of December. (NOTE the change: the 24th, not the 25th. This month only)

The photo contest is held to encourage people to take new photos with the topic in mind. As a result, please do not submit any photos taken before the contest topic was announced (see contest rules regarding EXIF data).


December topic :: Signs

Interpret that how you will, keeping in mind that the photos must be MINI related and that only one photo per member per month may be submitted.

Hi Joe,

Please see the first post regarding the contest submission instructions. Your photo must be uploaded into the "December Photo Contest" gallery in order to enter the photo contest.

Let me know if you need any help.

Well, should the sign be a "Mini" sign? I'm considering another store sign but not Mini at all. Will it work?

Hi Marwan,

That should be fine. You're free to interpret the topic however you wish, but the photo must be MINI-related.

For example, if you choose to photograph your MINI in front of some really cool sign that you found off the side of the highway or in front of a store, building, etc. that would work...

Hope this answers your question. Good luck.

You have until tomorrow, so DO IT.

FYI: Santa Dave may deliver Sunsets as a topic in 2008 so don't let him down.

Funny thing is, when I took them I had no idea what this months subject was.
