4 Million Photos Contest
What's happening: Photo.net is rapidly approaching 4 million images
in our database. To celebrate this fact, we decided to have a small
contest. The person who uploads the 4 millionth image is the winner. A
"you should have been here yesterday" prize will also be awarded to
the person who uploads image number 4,000,001.
How to enter: Easy, just upload images.
Who is eligible: Any photo.net member, subscriber or free.
The prize: A lifetime subscription to Photo.net for the user who uploads the 4
millionth image. A one-year subscription for the user who uploads
image number 4,000,001 (see fine print for details).
Where is the upload counter located: Front and center on the home page.
The fine print:
- No cheating. If we catch you uploading the same image over and
over, or uploading and then deleting large galleries repeatedly, or
using multiple accounts or any other such underhanded activity to try
to gain a better chance of winning, you will be disqualified, and may
be banned from the site.
- There are no contest "dates" or expirations. The contest will run
until we reach 4 million images in the database.
- Due to the fact that people upload and delete images every day, it is
entirely possible that the number of images in the database will fall
below 4 million after a winner has been chosen and the contest has ended.
Since there is no way we can control this, we are just going to go
with the person who uploads the 4 millionth image the first time that
number is reached in the database.
- Yes, we are aware that well over 4 million images have been uploaded
to photo.net over the course of its history. In fact, if you count
the No Words and other PN forums, there are well over 4 million images
on photo.net right at this second. We simply choose to ignore those
facts because it makes it easier to have a fun contest for the community.
- For the "you should have been here yesterday" prize, if the person
who uploads the 4 millionth image is the person who also uploads image
number 4,000,001, we will skip ahead to the next user who had an
upload processed by the server. So the winner may not actually have
uploaded image 4,000,001.
- For the purposes of photo.net, a "lifetime" subscription will equal
100 years. If you live longer than that, please contact the ghost of
Josh Root when your subscription is getting close to expiration.
- In the event there is a photo.net server malfunction, gremlin attack,
act of god/devil/Superman, or other crazy occurrence, we at photo.net
reserve the right to change the rules, stop the contest, curse at the
server/gremlins, and generally pick the winners as we see fit.
- Any questions should be sent via "Contact Us" link at the
bottom of the page.
