May Photo Contest

This is the 17th installment of the monthly photo contest on NAM.

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

May's Photo Contest is sponsored by VacuCam. The prize is TBA on OctaneGuy's return from the Dragon. Again, thanks OctaneGuy for stepping up and supporting the contest!

(Edited by OctaneGuy)
The prize for this month will be my VacuCam Tow Hook camera mount. Although it's still being manufactured, it will be sent to the winner when its finished. (Minus the Camera and Red Tow Hook). Better pictures coming later, but it's compatible with any small video/still camera.


If that doesn't appeal to you, you can opt to receive my detailing DVD.


In either case, the Tow Hook mount is there to increase your shooting options or the DVD is there to help you maximize the shine on your MINI for the next photo shoot!






May's topic :: May Flowers

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.

Of that I have no doubt. It's an incredibly scenic area, and from what I'm seeing the weather is supposed to be like, you'll get to see just why they're called the Smokey Mountains... You just won't find a lot of flowers

I'm jealous... I want to go to the Dragon. I could only talk Steph into Vegas this year, but that motivated her to order a cabrio... Maybe next year.

This is going to be a fun topic this month... I better get out shooting!

This is a conspiracy by the non-arid state people to lock out us Aridzonaians.

Just go to the photo upload page and select the May Photo Contest as the destination gallery for your photo from the pulldown menu.

No problem. I'm going to merge this into the May Photo Contest thread so that if others have the same question they see the answer.

Oh. I guess that is what I should have done in the first place, huh?

Thanks for the help,
William

Looks like a fun mountain bike trail, eh Dave?
Our drought isn't helping any, nice to see anything green.
