  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
  • You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and either
    post the change in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  • When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
  • No full-size images posted in thread; your entry will be ignored.
  • A preview image is not only allowed, but encouraged! However, preview images can
    not exceed 500 pixels in either direction. This includes borders or drop shadow effects.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 20. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", and the best from each
    poll faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!

This Week's News:

You'll notice some small detail changes in the rules: the bolded parts for the editing are new or modified rules, just to make it a bit clearer after the discussion from last week's comp.

Prizes this week:

Two 908 racers are up for grabs; one of each livery, one for the PMC winner, and one for the 2.0. And they won't be alone; runners-up this week get 5 special paint chips each (the matte and chrome prize-only ones). The winners do get the right to swap prizes with the runner-up if they so feel, though.

and... game on! :D
 
I took this one a few days ago, so I might as well use it:

I've set up an online room at La Sarthe for this theme if anyone wants to use either a sunrise or sunset at Le Mans in their entry for this week. The room number is 1472-6118-3830-2746-1675 and the room name is "Le Mans Photoshoot".

EDIT: The session has turned into just a normal race session after I was disconnected.

How am I meant to take a sunrise or sunset picture when all it ever does is rain?

Does the Red Bull Hangar count if we can get a shot in that Slim bit of time before the lights turn on ?

I wouldn't fancy risking it myself, the theme says 'Find the right tracks'
