About OPTIME GALLERY *Closed*

Membership in the OPTIME GALLERY is by admin invite only. Members are chosen for their unique vision and the evolved aesthetic quality of their work. The OPTIME GALLERY emphasizes fine art photographic work that is geared towards larger format viewing and printing. Styles include (but not limited to): minimalist, abstract, urban decay, architectural, conceptual.

RULES SUMMARY (for complete rules see below):
1) post 6 of your images at once; 2) comment/award 1 image from 9 (or more!) other members on first 3 pages; 3) wait till none of yours on first 3 pages; 4) post another 6.

The gallery enables its members to "create shows" by submitting collections (sets of 6) of images at a time. Members must vote on their favorite 9 images from 9 other members. Actually you are encouraged to vote for more than 9, but remember only 1 vote per collection.

The purpose of the OPTIME GALLERY is to enable artists to show a collection and receive feedback from other accomplished artists. After their work has been voted on - member images with the most votes can be submitted to the highly selective OPTIME MUSEUM.

RULES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Post 6 of your images at once - let's call these 6 images your "collection".

2) Add the OPTIME GALLERY award (copy and paste)

to 1 image from 9 (or more) distinct member collections on the first 3 pages of the group. You do this by copy/pasting the code between the dashes and inserting as an image comment. You're encouraged (but not required) to add your own words, perhaps explaining why you choose that 1 image.
So, you give at least 9 total awards each time you post your new collection; and your awards will go to 1 image of each of >= 9 different members' collections.

3) After your collection has moved beyond the 3rd page of the group, you can submit your top voted image, with the most awards, to the OPTIME MUSEUM. If 2 of your images have the same # of votes you may choose between the vote-tied images.

MAKE SURE:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) You post 6 images at a time, no more, no less.

2) You do not vote for more than 1 image from a member collection per round of voting. In other words vote for the 1 image you like the most from the member's collection. At the end, you will have voted for 9 or more images from 9 different members.

3) You only post a new collection when you do not already have a collection anywhere in the first 3 pages of the group. In other words, you should never have more than 1 collection on the first 3 pages of the pool.

Feel free to vote for more than 9 member's images. This will only further help members get feedback on their collections. (But always limit yourself to 1 vote per collection.)

Enjoy!
