---WHY?---
So, I want stock photos!
Why do I want stock photos? So I can put them in vector images of course! ^^

---WHAT?---
What am I going to do about it? Well, I'm asking you guys (and by 'you guys' I mean anyone who takes photos) to take photos for me! It's a competition, in short.

---HOW?---
Ok, the rules are thus:

1. You take a photo. It is your photo. You own it.

2. You upload that photo onto deviantart.com

3. You send me a note with the heading: "submission". In this note, you will give a thumbnail of/link to your photo, and your name. (pseudonyms are fine)

4. You send no more than two (2) photos! If you submit any more than two, I will ignore all others except the first two. Entires close 1st of June.

5. I will receive all the entries, judge which would be best for a Vector or Vexel image, and display the winners in my journal. Obviously this will happen some time after June 1st.

6. I award prizes.

---THE PRIZES---
1st Prize: I will look at your gallery, and make you a custom journal CSS based on what I judge as your personal aesthetic. I will also feature your photograph as a base image for a vector artwork. If you don't have a subscription, you can still enter, for "the glory".

2nd+3rd Prizes: Your Images will be incorporated into a vector artwork. Either as the feature, or decoration/background.

---QUESTIONS?---
Feel free to note me with questions regarding the competition.

Some questions I expect and will answer now:

"What's your CSS like?" - Examples of my CSS: [link] [link] [link]

"But Zan, didn't you do this exact same thing less than a month ago?" - Yes I did, but I named it rather clumsily, my wording was misleading, thus no-one that would be interested in the competition read about it in the first place.

"Hey Zan, why aren't you offering subscriptions or something of material worth in your prizes? You're such a cheapskate." - Because I don't have the money, I don't have a credit card and I can't be bothered setting-up payment with dA so I can donate subscriptions. Plus, if you're going to be annoying and ask stupid questions or just indirect insults, you're a moron and you can piss-off.

"Hey Zan, you're awesome and I love you. What's your address/phone-number/birth certificate number?" - (yes, I do expect to be asked this ) That kind of thing is on a strictly need-to-know basis, and basically, although flattering, it is entirely unrelated.

---GET SNAPPING!---
And I don't mean "...it's that time of month, eh?" kind of snapping, I mean taking photos! So get at it already! I need stock-photos!
