**If you are having difficulties with uploading an image with the EXIF intact, we will allow you to send us your original file with the EXIF information intact for verification...and you may enter your edited version. Once we have received the original and have verified that the image was shot during the open period and does not violate any of the rules, we will make a notation on the entry information stating that "this image has been validated". As always, any image that does not have it's EXIF information and the owner has not provided the Mods with the original file with the EXIF info intact will need to be removed from the challenge.** Retain your original, unedited file(s) (exactly as recorded by your camera), and provide it/them to the Challenge Moderators along with a list of your editing steps within 48 hours of any validation request. This notice with instructions will be sent to your listed email address. Files that have been saved or altered with any editing or transfer software are NOT 'Great shot or Nice pic.' You may still enter and win the Best Of 2009 Competition with less than required post count but the prize will not be awarded. In the case of an non-active member winning the challenge where a prize is offered, the prize will be carried over to the next runner up who is eligible of winning the prize. The prize must be claimed within one week after the close of voting by acknowledging the win in the winner's announcement thread (basic courtesy and respect for our sponsors).
