  1. Oh Snap!
    Hosted by @-iLyssaTheGummyBearKissa- and @Day

    Hi! Welcome to a new form of creative event that features photography. Our goal is to allow participants to learn more about photography as an art form and discover a new medium that is accessible to all.

    This event will run for one week, from July 1st @ 12 pm PST to July 9th @ 12 pm PST. There will be 4 themes, and each theme will have 2 days for participants to submit their entries.



    Rules
    ✩ You must take your own photos. The device you choose to use is up to you.

    ✩ All submissions must have your handwritten IGN. You can provide a second photo with your IGN (in the same spot) if you would like your IGN to not ruin your photo.

    ✩ All submissions must include a screenshot of your photo’s metadata. Check below for how to find metadata on your device.

    ✩ Plagiarism in any form will not be tolerated and will disqualify you from all prizes.

    ✩ All entries must be submitted in this thread or in the PIMD Discord server by the deadline to count.

    ✩ All entries must adhere to all aspects of PIMD’s Terms of Use.

    ✩ The use of Alts is not allowed. Only one entry per person is permitted for each theme.

    ✩ In respect of this event and other artists, please take the time to make an effort on your entries. If you did it in 1 minute just because you want a mod crate, this may be grounds for disqualification.

    Failure to adhere to these rules may result in a forfeiture of potential prizes. If any of these rules are unclear please ask.

    How Will I Find the Themes?
    There will be a new theme every day.

    Each will be announced in this thread at 12pm PST on their respective dates.

    If for whatever reason you are unable to access forums during this time, please contact @Day or @-iLyssaTheGummyBearKissa-

    Prizes
    Enter ALL themes to complete Oh Snap! and earn yourself a mod crate.

    One GRAND PRIZE WINNER will also receive 3 mod crates!

    We have also invited some of our fellow mods to pick their favorite entries!
    Each mod favorite will receive 1 crate.

    Our featured mods for this will be: Atlas, Defenestration, Doofus, Elena, Emarosa, Hales, Fayee, Joy, Leigh, Molly-Mae, OopsGottaBlast, QUBY, Rule, Sherz, Yaya!

    Please note that our guest judges are not a part of running the contest itself. Do not contact them with technical issues or questions about the logistics of the contest.

    How to Post Images
    ✩ Download Imgur.
    ✩ Pick your image to post.
    ✩ Hold down onto the image until a bar pops up.
    ✩ Press the Copy Post Link button.
    ✩ Use this link to get the direct link for posting. You can do so by pasting your link from imgur, and hitting "go". Copy the new link.
    ✩ Go into forums and press the landscape button. It looks like a picture with a mountain and a sun.
    ✩ Paste your link and press “Insert”.

    How to Find Metadata for Mobile
    iOS
    - Go to your photo
    - Click the information icon (Looks like an “i”)
    - You'll see metadata like date, file name, size, resolution, and sometimes location (you may leave out the location). Screenshot this info along with the photo.

    Android
    - Open the Gallery or Google Photos app.
    - Tap the photo you want to inspect.
    - Swipe up or tap the three-dot menu (⋮) and choose "Details" or "Info."
    - You'll see metadata like date, file name, size, resolution, and sometimes location (you may leave out the location). Screenshot this info along with the photo.

  2. This is a cute idea. I like that it's accessible like drawtober but emphasizes a specific medium. Amazing job to the creaters 🩷 I look forward to participating.
     
  3. Excited to see what you come up with! This definitely has similarities to Drawtober

  9. Is photo editing / enhancing permitted or do you want raw images only? 👀

  10. Good question! We are allowing minor editing but you have to do the editing yourself and it cannot be fed into any programs or AI where it essentially does the work for you.

    We’ll also ask you to show process photos like layers.

  11. This is so exciting! Can’t wait to see the themes. Is there any disadvantage to submitting images later in the 2-day window? Like on the second day instead of the first? Thanks so much :D

  12. By “handwritten ign”, does it mean we can use a photo editing app to write our ign on the picture? Or we gotta write our ign on a piece of paper and hold it up in our actual picture itself?
     
  13. IGN will need to be held up on a piece of paper, but you can include it in a secondary photo if you would like to keep your submission clean
     
    Oasis and Day like this.
  14. Only disadvantage would be if you get busy and are unable to submit on time or if you have some type of issue with your submission you may need to fix.

    Basically anything that would delay you that you didn't originally plan for.

  15. If I were to do this on my phone with basic editing (sharpness/contrast/hue/etc) would a version of the raw and edited be sufficient enough? (Ofc with ign/metadata)

    Would metadata for both raw and edited images be required as well?
