  [*]Of course you continue to hold all rights reserved. We have no intention of trying to gain any rights to your photograph. You can remove it from the forums any time.
  [*]Contest judging will be through a simple voting process. All registered mu-43.com members with at least 3 posts are eligible to vote. To vote for a particular photo, simply click the [IMG]http://mu-43.com/images/buttons/post_thanks.gif button underneath that particular submission (Note: the button will not be visible to you unless you have at least 3 posts). It is an "open" voting process; ie, your name will be displayed along with other members who voted for a given entry.
• Please limit yourself to 3 or fewer votes at the end of the voting period. At any time prior to the end of the voting period, you may add your vote to or withdraw your vote from an entry.
• Feel free to comment on photos in this thread, but please do not quote the post with image embedded, because that may lead others to accidentally vote for the quote rather than the original entry.

The voting period will end at midnight (GMT) on January 15, 2011.
