March Photo Contest Topic

First, thanks to everyone that sent in topic ideas.

This is the 15th installment of the monthly photo contest on NAM. We're trying to encourage members to go out and shoot *new* photos for the contest.

Follow this link for the: Rules and Submission Instructions Only photos submitted to the contest gallery will be entered into the contest. Do not post your photos to this thread.


March's topic :: The Open Road

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

Visit us here in Nevada. Plenty of open roads. Plus we have Lake Tahoe, Sierra Nevada mountains, legalized gambling, and...er...ah..."Nevada style entertainment."

Knowing some states are notorious for potholes... that sort of "open"?

I guess you haven't been to Nevada?

They do have Wayne Newton too... Going to Vegas in a few weeks for AMVIV. Maybe I'll get an "open road" shot there!

You'd have to upload from Vegas 'cause the deadline passes while we're there.

March Photo Contest...

March's topic :: The Open Road
Re: "Only photos submitted to the contest gallery will be entered into the contest..."

I went to upload my entry for the March Contest- but the only option that shows is "February Contest"... Will it still count if I dump it there?

I entered my photo, but I may be a little late. Damn the AMVIV events, keeping me from my photo submission. Will I possibly get a free pass on this one?

No bad words were said... The sad thing was I didn't get any good shots on the way to AMVIV... Too busy driving to get there!
