Theme: will vary from month to month


The theme will depend on the following month (when the picture will be shown) and vary with the seasons, etc. (in agreement with the Team Ipernity)

How to participate:

Apart from the theme the entries have to match the following specifications. This is due to the fact that the frontpage pictures all represent ipernity in a way.

- landscape orientation and aspect ratio close to 3/2 (at least 560x373)
- the picture has to have no frame, no visible watermarking, no copyrights mention or signature inside the picture
(these two rules are necessary to keep the look of the frontpage "clean")

- you must be the author and must have all authorizations (for
instance from models...)
- you have to publicly share the picture
(these two rules are a legal necessity, since picture might be published on the frontpage)

- Only one picture per member
(there will be a contest every month, so you'll have enough chances to participate)

- no nudity
(nudity isn't accepted in every country)


The specifications above have to be met. Otherwise your picture will be removed.

- ideally the picture must have a title
(it can then be displayed on the frontpage as well)

- ideally, Creative Commons licensed
(The Team supports the use of Creative Commons.)

- the picture must serve ipernity services and brand
(Ipernity is a brand, so they have to care how they apppear in public. This is how they want to present themselves. I know this restricts your freedom of artistic expression but you gain the chance to appear on the frontpage. When voting you should keep this point in mind along with the theme)

These specifications should be met. Especially the last specification also might cause a removal.
You should keep these specifications in mind when voting.

Post your picture in "medium" size in the according thread (Don't post it to the group pool, that is for winning pictures only). Please include a number (beginning with #1) and the title in your post.

When the contest is closed there will be time for every group member to vote. You may vote for three pictures. Your first vote will receive 3 points, the second 2 and the third 1 point:

#x - 3pts
#y - 2pts
#z - 1pt

The winning picture will be in the pool of frontpage pictures for the next month and will be shown for one week.

The first three pictures are invited to the group pool and will be displayed for one month on the group page.

""landscape orientation and aspect ratio close to 3/2"""
you're talking about the photo size... tell it

"" the picture must serve ipernity services and brand""
I understand this second point because it's for the first page of Ipernity

Je suis désolé, je répond à l'invitation, mais ne comprends pas la moitié de ce que l'on raconte, je ne comprends pas la nécessité de prendre une licence créative commons, la législation sur les droits d'auteur est déjà pleinement satisfaisante. (oui, c'est ce genre de subtilités qui m'échappent).
Mais je dois ajouter que le "no frame" règle tout, en ce qui me concerne...

Дон Андре replies:
Je ne crois pas que c'est un nécessité si le dit "ideally, creative commons licensed". Pour moi, j'entends "serait bon si.... blabla" (excusez mon francais...)

I don't think it's a necessity when he says "ideally, creative commons licensed". For me this sounds more like "It would be nice if it was...."

Btw, CC is cool :-)

Thank you vor invite

Die Regeln sind mir aber dennoch nicht ganz klar. Warum ohne Copy, Urheberrecht und Wasserzeichen? Vielleicht hilfst du mir mal auf die Sprünge

I find hard the theme... is it a matter of imagination? Should I take a devoted photo that fulfils the topic? Is it only a motto?

Thanks for the invitation but I don't really know enough about Ipernity to do it. Are there any back numbers of such front pages that I can look at to get an idea?

Lars Sözüer pro replies:
Look at www.ipernity.com
If you reload this page, the pictures will change.

the picture must serve ipernity services and brand

aber in der hoffentlich folgenden übersetzung wird das ja geklärt!
ansonsten: super idee!

I wonder why the photos should be close to 3/2, since the photos on the frontpage have more or less 4/3. ;)
Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )
A tuvalu pro replies:
Are you sure? Perhaps you screen is tricking you. Actually they are close to 3/2.
Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )
Stardrifter replies:
This one for example is on the front page and has 1:1,324

And I found a few other with similar aspect ratio. ;)

A tuvalu pro replies:
Ok, you are right, it is also an example of a picture with a frame. So the Team doesn't always stick to their own rule. But the above rules usually are followed. So I want to start contest that is as fair as possible, so I prefer clear rules.

In answer to several quetsions above, I added some explanations. There is also a seperate thread for german, other languages will follow.
If there are still questions, don't hesitate to ask (again).

How can I post a picture in the threads ??
Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )
A tuvalu pro replies:
You go to your picture and click on the spyglass-symbol ("view all sizes") and then choose the large view. Then you'll find a the code below the picture. this code you copy to comment field in the according thread, and off you go. :)

I hope that helped.

Manolo pro says:
In the actual contest (Ipernity anniversary) a not public photo have been presented. But the rules say:

you have to publicly share the picture
...
The specifications above have to be met. Otherwise your picture will be removed.


It's not a matter of CC licenses. I don't know about the license because I can't see the picture in the author's photostream, because it is not public!

I understand this rule is violated by this participant.

A tuvalu pro replies:
Thank you for pointing this out!

Somehow I didn't have this point in my mind (Too many 4:3 posts Igues. smile)

Ok, I'll deal with this more strict.

Perhaps he didn't notice that the picture is not public or he didn't read the rule. May be a personal note to him solves the problem.

Already done. smile
Thank you.

Ok, we're trying to solve this problem. Philopics is willing to make it public!

A tuvalu pro says:
Another problem. I didn't actually prohibit to vote for your own picture, so I won't act on it in the current contest. But from next contest on I will explicitly prohibit that.
