Further explaination of the theme from Nato_777.

"This week it's an all American lineup, for the cars at least. Take an American car to a non-American
location and take your best shot. Multiple car shots are OK and I'll even let you have a car of a different
nationality in the shot as long as the focus (literally and figuratively) is on the American car."

Cars: Any American.
Locations: Any non-American.
Phototravel: Sure why not.
Unique Restrictions: As above and have fun!

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.

This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • Entries for the competition this week must be sent to the Judge Nato_777 Via
    Private Message and not posted in this thread, any pics posted in this thread will not be
    considered for the poll.
  • Your PM must consist of a preview image no bigger than 500px at the largest side with a
    direct link to the full size image.
  • Your first entry will be your last, you will not be allowed to change your entry so be happy
    with it.
  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
  • Do not use a photo from your Gallery or post your photo shoot in your Gallery until after
    the competition (and poll if you made it) has closed.
  • Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Winner chooses the following week's theme and becomes Judge for that week.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Judge will select their favourite 10 entries and PM to the Host for the poll.
  • The poll entries will then all be hosted by me so that links cannot be traced to the owner
    of the photo.
  • The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.

I take it anything based on an American car (GT Test cars, C5R, etc.) are welcome as our primary?
 
Anything that GT lists under United States is fair game. ;)
 
Title: "Born in the USA" - Inspired on the music of Bruce Springsteen, Nato?? :D

what you mean besides proportionally
my english don't help me

can you post a example of an image ?

This rule is really only in there as some photo hosting sites automatically resize the image, otherwise there really is no need to resize an image with the PMC rule set.
Anyway proportionally resizing means to keep the original aspect ratio - retaining the same proportions between the length and width of the image. You cannot for example just resize the image height making it a 'wider' photo. Both the height and width must be resized by the same percentage.

I hope that helps and just doesn't confuse you more. :p

ok i understand now
but why it is "secret santa" ? that means how i can't post my photo ?

Nope.

You need to click on the big "submit entry" button in the description up top and send your entry to that person.

This is the only contest (to my knowledge) where the entrants are kept a secret until the contest is over with.
 
The idea behind this comp came from the notion that certain people do better in the polls based on who and how 'popular' they are. The Secret Santa comp attempts to remove that possibility by keeping the identities of the entrants anonymous. One of the qualities of this competition that I particularly enjoy however is that you have no idea what anyone else is coming up with and you have to rely solely on yourself for your interpretation of the theme. It also makes the poll a pleasant surprise when it's posted. :)
 
Where would the Ford Focuses and the Ka come into this, they both have the stars and stripes flag beside it in GT5, but we all know that they are from the other side of the atlantic
 
For the purposes of this comp any car that GT5 lists under the United States is acceptable.
 
Great entries so far - still room for more in the poll yet - so keep 'em coming. ;)
 
hey nato you have a very nice br-z at the competition 119
what you think for my ?

also i have one more question:
how the winner choosed ?


*sorry for my english
 
Closing in two hours - if anyone wants to get a last minute entry in then now's the time. ;)

... and now it's CLOSED
