Okay so were now into the second month and this time its a little different just to encourage people to actually use their imagination and really test their phones and think outside the box.

First the rules........these must be adhered by or you will be disqualified for the month. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THEM

1: Pictures entered must be taken by the person entering.

2. The following information must be included in the same post as the entry. phone used, why you feel the word or phrase influenced your picture.

3. The picture must cannot exceed 800 pixels in either width or height.

4. Details of any post processing must be included. ie photoshop, noise reducing software, photofix etc. (This is to benefit the people who do not have photofix etc on their phones)

5. Only ONE entry per member

6. This is the main one, no archive pics to be used, YOU MUST TAKE THE PICTURE FOR THE COMPETITON. If the photo is took before February 1st 2008 it will not allowed.

7. No 'adult' themed pictures allowed

8. If you enter, you must vote. Not voting will result in your entry being withdrawn. You are not allowed to vote for your own entry. You will be required to vote on the last week of the month. This way there will be no bias decisions. It will be everyones joint decision.

and thats it, so work with me on this one and itll be good times. this is a test of your creativity and imagination so get them camera phones out!

The theme phrase for this month is.............

'PRICELESS'

you can interpret that anyway you want but you have to explain how you got the idea for the theme......so go take a picture that encompasses the word PRICELESS to you and post it here!

Good luck! start posting Feb 1st!

I think so mate.

Priceless means that you can't put a price on it.

So if something is priceless, for example a priceless moment, then it would be so great or funny that you can't describe it. Like you can't put a value on it (have you seen the mastercard advertisements? They are a perfect example).

Or you could take priceless another, simpler way: Something in a store with no price on it. It could be something thats free!

Its up to you how you take the word. You could take a photo of something stolen, as thats priceless because it wasn't paid for!

Does this mean voting is restricted to entrants only or available to all Esato members? Do we vote by posting in this thread or by PM?

By all means! The competition aims to test YOUR imagination and creativity and not just the quality of your camera phone. Last months winner used a non-A/F 2.0Mp camphone - you don't have to have a G800/K850i/N95-8GB to compete...
