April 2011 Contest

[JCagle]

April's arrival means one thing... spring is not far away, and things will be greening up soon. This month's contest is a wide open theme of spring.

We will take entries until the 27th and then voting will be open for 5 days.

And as always.... the rules

All images entered in the contest must be your own images. Any violations of this will be banned from entering the contest for 6 months. Any subsequent violations will receive a minimum of 1 year suspension from the contest. At Jreb we take seriously the rights of photographers, and we strive to protect those rights.

Entries may be watermarked with your name if you desire, but please remove any references to other sites for contest entries.

There will be a theme announced for each month's contest.

All entries must be Norfolk Southern or it's predecessors.

There is no age limit or time frame that the pictures must be from.

Everyone including moderators and administrators may enter the contest.

Each participant is limited to two entries in the contest.

Since the winning image is posted on the main page you must attach the file as a thumbnail. You may post the image in the thread as well if you desire. Attaching the image can be done in the additional options menu above and to the left of the post button.

The deadline for entries will be posted in the theme post each month. Following the deadline a poll is placed in the thread for voting. When the poll is posted the deadline to vote is also posted. The poll will time out at the designated time. The winner is determined by the highest vote total.

In the event of a tie vote there will be a 48 hour run off.

I knew somebody would find a couple. Just remember that the only requirement is something pertaining to spring. Doesn't have to be anything fancy. The greening of spring is what this is all about.

I believe nothing signals the arrival of spring more than NS F-Units pulling the business train down 6th Street in Augusta,GA the week before "The Masters Golf Tournament."

Here is the 2009 NS Masters OCS rolling down 6th St. in Augusta,GA on April 3,2009.

The poll is up and open for 5 days.
