July will be the 44th NAM Monthly Photo Contest.

Follow this link for the: Rules and Submission Instructions The deadline for entry is noon pacific on the 25th of this month.

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).


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.

 

Too bad there's not a MINI in this picture

sounds like an awesome topic cant wait to see peoples pictures

 

Yeah, this sounds like a great topic!

 

Yeah, me too!

 

This is a topic I can relate to.

 

Shot in Wales in '04....the most road less traveled I have ever been on in my life. We stopped to take it all in and all you could hear were sheep and the wind. Amazing place....

just remove sheep and insert Mini~

Pass of Llanberis

 

Like this:



I've got quite a few from the outlying areas of Britain.

 

Wow, just like that
Isn't the UK absolutely beautiful!
I can not wait to return soon~
Nice shot Btwyx

 

Could someone clarify this rule:

Would this allow something like removing a car in the background?

 

I would think that that would be allowed, but Dave needs to make the call.

 

Especially if it's NOT a MINI.

 

Yes.

As long as you're not doing something like removing Swifty from Kurt's sig pic and adding your MINI instead, you should be fine.

 

I generally practice a "can't tell" and "I won't ask" policy.

In other words... If I can't tell, I won't ask.

If it looks like a photochomp'd mess that doesn't look like a photo illistration any longer, then it'll be booted.

 

LOL I have an idea for this topic....

 

Excellent, I took some shots on my vacation for this contest. Just gotta figure out which one I like best.

 

As always I take the topic too seriously. Drove on a forest road for some inspiration:


Thought I was careful enough, but NO! Lucky I thought of putting a spare tire in before my sojourn.

 

So did you get the picture?

 

Del Puerto Canyon Road.

 

Fresh oil with gravel on my street. How much less traveled can a road get?

 

Ah yes, chip seal. Hate that stuff! Not only does it ding up your ride, if you ride a motorcycle like I do, it's incredibly slippery.

 

Just a reminder...

If you are entering the photo contest, please upload your photo to the Monthly Photo Contest Gallery. Posting your image here does NOT count as "entering" the contest.

 

Shhh! It's a great way for me to eliminate some of the competition, now you blew it!

I checked out where a thunderstorm had dumped, and found the perfect sign for this month's theme.

 

I think I've got my shot for this month, this isn't it (not really enough MINI):

 

Entered (remembered to click monthy button). No sunset.
