June 2009 Contest

[JCagle]

The June contest theme is going to be sunset light. As long as it is NS or predecessor and taken in sunset it's eligible to be entered. You may only submit one shot.

Submit your shot by the 30th and we will begin voting on the 31st.

If some of you want to get some advice on the one photo to enter feel free to use the photo critique board. Let's try to keep them all in one thread for the month too. That will save with some topic merging with the board maintenance.

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 ONE entry 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 two day run off.

It's March 10,1989 and NS eastbound 123 has set out a few cars at GE's Appliance Park at Buechel MP 283. As the sun sets in the west the three Southern GP30's leading the train are in the sunset of their own
lives of serving the south.
