championship prizes

TBA

massive thanks to john and the rest of T10. your generosity is greatly appreciated.

you MUST have xbox live gold (by the end of the voting period) to receive prizes. if you score in the top three and only have silver, your prizes will be passed to the next highest eligible winner. you will still receive your full amount of championship points.

if you have any questions regarding your picture’s eligibility, feel free to pm me and i’ll let you know…

if you haven’t read the rules carefully, go back and do that now…

have fun and good luck…

For anyone wondering, I got this shot by pushing the camera against the wall on the cliff by the water fall, and followed the track downhill while holding raise camera and keeping it pressed against the guardrail.

just a heads up…PentaxAngel HUN, your entry is definitely eligible, but your two extras would not be eligible for this comp, even though the cars are blurry and clearly not the focal point of the shots.

apologies if i didn’t explain myself well enough in the op.

I thought I did not count the extra image on the entry. I just put on a curiosity, but corrected!

nope they didn’t count…there was nothing wrong with what you had. i just wanted to clear that up in case there was any confusion. sorry about that.
