RULE: It has come to our attention that some entries in recent D2B's have been photoshopped. This is NOT permitted and any entry that has been photoshopped will not be accepted.



Update!


Effective as of September 22, 2007, the following rules will be in place:


1. NO photo manipulation is allowed at all!


What is Photo Manipulation and what does it include?


Well, you've probably seen some great photo manipulation by our very own mod, Daer0n. An example of her work is illustrated here:





This is probably the first thing that comes to mind when a lot of people hear the word "Photoshopped" or "Photo Manipulated", but a photo manipulation can be very subtle and include even slight changes like alterations to coloring or contrast. So even if you lighten your photo with a photo editing program, you may not think it counts as photo manipulation, but it does. Basically, if you use a photo editing program to alter your photo in any way, it counts as photo manipulation. Therefore, for all Dare to Be competitions, you are only allowed to crop and/or resize your photo. That's it.


2. Any pictures which appear to be suspect, will either be automatically disqualified if the member is asked and doesn't come clean. If after saying it's not touched in any way the picture still seems to be suspect, then the entry will be DQed anyway. (If need be, it will be made so all entries are approved by a Moderator first).


3. Voting will remain in place. There is not true sufficient evidence to back that consistent entries/winners are discouraging. Participation overall still lacks, which we hope will change very soon!
