2. TOM will judge the winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and he is not eligible to enter. The 1st place winner then chooses the next topic, judges the winner and passes on the baton to the new champion.

3. To keep a level playing field, ***the photos for the assignment should be taken within the assignment period***

4. Each photo should be no larger than 800 pixels at its largest side

5. Borders or Watermarks are permitted

6. Post the camera type, lens, and if possible the EXIF data (shutter speed, aperture, iso, etc) with the photo.

7. Photographers should also be regular posters on Tampa Racing.

8. Two entry maximum this time.

9. Violations of the rules listed herein may lead to the deletion of your submission. If your submission is deleted, I'll leave a reason and you're welcome to resubmit before the deadline.

In light of the current situation with SCP_Celica there has been a change to this contest. It was revealed that most of SCP_Celica's images (including the winning contest entry) do not belong to him. As a result, I have contacted the owner of the winning entry from last month (Thanks Kaluwa for finding him) and he has agreed to judge the contest this month.

Please join me in welcoming Tom. Please feel free to post your welcome's here if you like, I'll likely merge them into the Contest Talk thread later this month.

Welcome Tom!
