RULES

++Date and time:
12:00 PM (noon) May 22nd through 12:00 AM (midnight) May 23rd

++Location:
Asheville, North Carolina and the surrounding area.

++How:
You take pictures during the times above, upload them to Flickr with the appropriate tags, and submit them to the Flickr group. Judges will select a set of images to be printed and displayed at the Pack Library. The images that make it to the Library exhibit will be donated to the Pack library image catalogue (digital versions).

++Deadlines:
All images must be taken/exposed during the set times of the event. Images that you submit to the project must be uploaded to the Flickr site before 11:59 PM, one minute to midnight, Friday, May 29th.

Procrastinators, we will always love you. But prepare yourself - this is a real deadline. Miss it and your photos will not be a part of the project.

Further details for the results of the judging and submitting your prints will be available in the threads of this group during the week after the event.

++Number of photos:
Each participant can submit up to 15 total images to the DITLO Asheville group on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/ditlo-asheville). Once judging is complete each group member can choose 1 photo for automatic inclusion in the print exhibit. If your work has been selected for the print exhibit you will be responsible for printing and submitting 8x12 photo prints. Specifications for printing will be posted in the group at a later time.

++Tagging:
When uploading to Flickr, each photographer should tag each project photo exactly as follows (without the quotes).

Your 15 photos for judging:
“ditloa2009submit”

Your photos in your stream that are from this event:
“ditloa2009all”

Once judging is complete, your 1 artist’s choice photo:
"ditloa2009mypick"

++Captioning:
Participants should plan ahead to include their name, a photo title and a caption on the back of their print photos for the library display. Your photographs will be donated to the Pack Memorial Library’s North Carolina collection and they would like at least basic information about what’s pictured. Please also put this stuff in the Flickr caption.

++Licensing:
By participating in this project, photographers are agreeing to a “creative commons” license because the photos will go to the library. Your photos should be marked with the "Creative Commons" license. The library, as you know, lends material to anyone who asks - thus the need for a more liberal license to avoid copyright hassles in the future. You really are shooting for the common good on this project. Plan on applying the creative commons license to your photos when you upload them.

THANK YOU for your membership in the DITLO Asheville group on Flickr. Please invite your friends – all are welcome to join and participate this weekend!
