420 Magazine's Photo of the Month: September 2024

Welcome to 420 Magazine's Photo of the Month Contest!

Please submit your best 420 related photo for a chance to win some cool prizes.

Photo of the Month contest is all about the quality of an individual photo. It will be judged on composition, lighting, creativity, originality and general quality.

We love showcasing 420 Magazine cultivators’ photography, so we provided this platform for entrants to share their photos and cultivate some creative expression. Originality and creativity will be given preference over recycled images and ideas.

This contest is open for submissions from the 1st until the 14th at midnight EST. Winners will be decided by the 420 Moderation Team and announced in-thread on the 1st of the following month.

Your entry must be one, and only one, photo. Entries with more than one photo will be deleted. The photograph may be of a cannabis plant or plants, part of a plant (e.g. a cola, a bud, even roots!), a nug or nugs, a seed or seeds or Cannabis extracts. It must be an original photograph that you have taken and contain no nudity.

All winners receive "420 Photo of the Month" title and the following Prize Packages:

First Place
Second Place
Third Place
Shipping fees may apply to some packages shipped outside of the U.S.
You are responsible for any additional fees applied by customs.

Contest Guidelines:

1. The contest is open to members with 50 or more posts. Members must also have at least 50 posts to be entitled to vote.

2. Your contest entry must be an original photo of your own, rather recent and not previously entered in another Photo of the Month contest. The same photo cannot be entered into more than one contest in the same month. Winning entries cannot be entered into any future contests.

3. Images entered must not include text, watermarks, copyright images, or added digital content. The entire image must be the entrants own original work. Any entrant or image found to be using copyright material may be removed from the contest and restricted from entering future contests.

4. Maximum of one photo per member. Updating photos throughout the month is not allowed.

5. Remember to upload your photo through our Photo Gallery before posting them on this thread: Photo Gallery Guide - How to Resize, Upload & Post Photos. All entries should include a title and description of the image. Provide the strain name, grow method, or subject of the submitted image during the upload process to provide some context to your image.

6. Self-nominations only. The first place winner is ineligible for entry for the following three months.

7. Promotion (i.e. campaigning) for yourself or a friend, or any attempt at voting more than one time per person (i.e. multiple user names, etc.) is considered cheating and is prohibited. Promotion also includes family and friends who register a new account for voting purposes. Campaigning in any form - including but not limited to mentioning the entry in any thread outside the contest, a signature link to the entry and campaigning via PMs - will result in the entry being removed from the month's contest. A second instance, either in a different contest during the same month or in any future contest, will attract a lifetime ban from all future contests. General encouragement to vote in all the contests is fine, as long as it's not excessive or crossing the line into campaigning. Any post which explicitly or implicitly encourages members to vote for a specific entry is not.

8. Editing Photos: You may resize and/or crop your photos, however adding text, images and frame borders are prohibited. Photos must be cropped properly, leaving no large empty spaces at top/bottom or left/right of the image.

9. The use of Photoshop and other digital manipulation tools are acceptable for enhancing your own original photos (i.e. contrast, filters, and other image adjustments), however, these tools may not be used to create new elements that were not part of the original photograph (i.e. super-imposing multiple photos or adding a digital rendering of an object to a photo where that object did not originally exist, etc.)

10. Staff members from this or any other cannabis forum/community are not permitted to enter or vote in our public contests. It's okay for staff to post photos in the contest for fun, however to retain the credibility of the contest, their photos will not be added to the voting polls. Sponsors can vote, but not enter.

This is not a Photoshop contest or a Graphic Arts contest and entrants should understand this difference before submitting an image. Entrants should be open & transparent about the process which their pictures are made, in the same way we share cannabis cultivation techniques.

If anyone has any questions or problems with ANY of the entries in ANY of our contests, please speak up publicly in the respective contest thread, before the end of the contest or forever hold your peace. Once a winner is announced, that will be the end of discussion, there will be no take backs, unless we made a clerical error.

By posting a submission into this contest, it is assumed that you have read and agree to abide by each of the aforementioned rules. Consider your submission your "virtual signature"

I didn't see a link to that in the guidelines.
I am not sure what link you are looking for. I was referring to the guides for the individual contests and not to the guides for participating in the messages and threads. The guideline-link that showed up in my message was automatically inserted there by the 420 computer program and not me.

Edit. I read about the gallery after uploading here and then went to the gallery to upload my photo and was going to resubmit another post and it's already in the gallery.
The staff made a change in the way the photos and the gallery are set up. As a result everyone's photos plus any photo that they used in a message to help another grower were suddenly copied over to the gallery. Result is that some rules about uploading photos created duplicates or some members have photos showing up in their gallery that are not actually their photos.

Should I upload to the gallery again even if it's already there?
I have wondered that myself. I figure the best thing is to upload to the gallery first and then link to that photo. Eventually the staff will come up with a solution to the confusion.
 
For all you outdoor growers ⛓️🪚lol
The stalk was so big I had to dig out the chainsaw 🤣. Jk
