----------
I'm pledging $100 of my own stash for what I judge to be the best:
Black-and-white (monochrome) portrait
... which is sent to me before 15 December 2009.
- Each author can only send one (1) picture.
- The picture may not previously have won prizes or have been published in a professional publication, on- or offline. (New work is encouraged, but not required.)
- The author's name must be in the file name. (Example: eolake-stobblehouse-13.jpg)
- No text on the picture.
- Monochrome means it can be toned, but no variations in color.
- Portrait means a photo of a human.
- Shortest edge at least 1000 pixels, longest edge less than 2000 pixels.
- JPGs only. Maximum file size: 500 kb.
- I acquire the rights to publish for free any entry here. Entrants keep all other rights.
I imagine that between the 15th and xmas, I will post a couple dozen of the best entries, and the winner. I require a paypal address to pay to.
Send entries to my gmail dot com address, which is eolake. Or use the address here.

Note: this contest does not have anything to do with Domai (and is not for nudes, although they are not prohibited). But somebody asked if he won could he have a membership, and I agreed to a two-year membership if he wins. That would be a good deal for anybody who wants that instead of cash.

PS: Obviously this contest has nothing to do with Domai or with nudes.
Is a portrait necessarily of a person, or can it be like a landscape or a thing?
It's a person, a human.
"Monochrome means it can be toned, but no variations in color."
Does that exclude split toning?
I haven't seen many of such, but I guess they're OK.
So are we sending these photos out into the aether...or are you going to make us dig around looking for your e-mail address :-p
I'll send mine to eolake in da Gmail and hope for the best ;-)
PS: Aren't you lucky you have an uncommon 6-letter name! :-D

"Portrait means a photo of a human."
Just ONE "human"? Can't be more than one, then? Just checking. (like how Hannah and I are trying to push the envelope on this?! lol! ;-)

Go ahead, "punke" me all ya like.
I think of a "portrait" as being of one person.
I also have an email address here.
Good contest and in the spirit of it I will go out and make a new portrait, rather than dragging one out of the old images.
Thanks for the sponsorship and the bit of an assignment. Gets the photography juices flowing.

Thanks, Steve.
Reminds me I forgot one rule, I'll add that now.
