I'm a little unsure and hoping someone can clear this up for me... competition rules say maximum of three photos per person in each category, right? Lots of people are posting way more than three photos in some categories. What's the deal with that? Cheers!

Maybe their reading skill aren't very good. I've entered other competitions where exceeding the maximum number of entries gets you disqualified.

Yes, entrants are limited to THREE photos per category. We are asking those who have submitted more than three to remove the extras to abide by the rules of contest. Anyone who has four or more images in one category after September 15 will have all their entries removed. Liz Ruskin Web Editor Professional Photographer

I am glad that someone has cleared that up..I did wonder what was going on with some entrants. Also does anyone know when the closing date is? when the judging takes place and when the winner is announced?

You have until the end of November to enter the contest. Judging will be in January 2009 and the winners will be announced at an awards ceremony after that.

Thanks for the reply... as long as the judges, etc, are aware it's happening and are prepared to disqualify entrants, that's okay. Amazingly a lot of people are still entering more than three in a category. Unfortunately for some of those people, their photos are extremely good. Shame they won't be counted!

I agree. I've emailed dozens of these excessive-entry folks to tell them. A lot of them have taken their extras down. If you want to send me the names of others, I'll try to email them. It's a tedious process, though, and I'm sure I'll miss some.
