![]() Moderator 4756 forum posts 6078 photos 403 articles | Website Photographic Competition Summer 2009. Paul Freshney and I have been giving some thought to having a Website Competition for registered members. We did not just want to have a simple lottery but something which would showcase the best of model boat building and stimulate discussion on the Forum which we can all learn and benefit from. So, after a bit of head scratching, we have decided to have a photographic competition. Most people have access to a digital camera these days so just about anyone who wishes should be able to enter. The twist will be that the winning photograph will be the one which looks most like a real ship as opposed to a model! Closing date for entries will be Friday 31st July 2009 and the winners will be announced shortly afterwards.
So just start posting your photos below and good luck!

The Rules. 1. Entrants are invited to submit up to three photographs of their models on the Forum Website Photographic Competition Topic for consideration by the judges 2. If more than one photograph is entered it would be helpful if they are all contained within the same post. This will make it easier to administer the entries. 3. Each photo will be assessed by the extent to which it appears to depict a real vessel rather than a model. Close up views of part of the model will be eligible as well as photos of the whole model. Models photographed may be either working or static. Dioramas must have a predominantly nautical theme. 4. Only one prize can be won by each entrant. 5. Judging of the most realistic photo will be by the Model Boats Editorial Team. NOTE! If you have any questions about the Competition, please post them on the Summer 2009 Competition Q&A thread. Only post actual entries on this one. The Prizes 1st: Any three sets of plans from the MyHobbyStore plans range.
Or Any one hull and associated plan from the MyHobbyStore range.
2nd: Any two sets of plans from the MyHobbyStore plans range. 3rd: Any one set of plans from the MyHobbyStore plans range.

We welcome well written contributions from Website members on almost any aspect of Model Boating with a particular emphasis on practical hints, tips, experience and builds.
In order to maintain a consistent standard and format, all suggestions should first be sent to me by Personal Message for approval in principle. Only a very limited amount of time is available for editing contributions into a suitable format for placing on the website so it is important that the material is well presented, lucid and free from obvious spelling errors. I think it goes without saying that contributions should be illustrated by appropriate photos. I shall be happy to give advice on this.
The Member Contribution area offers space for short informative mini articles which would not normally find a place in Model Boats magazine. It is an opportunity for Website Members to freely share their expertise and experience but I am afraid that virtue is its own reward as there is no budget to offer more material recompense!
I look forward to receiving your suggestions.
Colin Bishop - Website Editor
