Your photography as the MINI2 header - Win Privilege Membership

1st September 2006 saw the launch of the new look MINI2 website.

One design feature of the new website is the large header image which takes pride of place above the MINI2 logo and main menu.

In our quest to find suitable images we did our best scouring MINI2 (thanks to all the fantastic amateur, and not so amateur photographers for all the eye candy!), we went through hundreds of images but came up with only a handful we felt sat well at the top of the page.

So, now we'd like your help and creative input to keep MINI2 fresh.

Each month MINI2 will be running a new competition to find a banner image to add to the rotation on top of the site. Your photograph (and maybe even your MINI) could be seen by hundreds of thousands of people every month.

Plus, as an added incentive, we'd like to offer free Privilege Membership for life (yours or the website's, whichever the shorter ) to the winner each month.

Featured photographers:

ScottyB - www.mini2.com/galleries/showgallery.php/cat/500/ppuser/16791
MiniGolf - SmugMug - 27772's photo galleries
Hafid - MINI Pictures - a photoset on Flickr
BlacknBlue - www.flickr.com/photos/iguana_azul
Emis- www.rogueminis.com/3.html
Every month we will have a new topic or feature we'd like the submitted photographs to have, so we have a nice variety of MINI based images in the collection.

See all banner images in a "slideshow"
http://www.mini2.com/images/headerimages/slideshow.php

This months theme is - MINI Wheels

For "MINI wheels" we are looking for close up, detail or "macro" shots of standard MINI supplied wheels (inc Works). No nice photos of a car with cool wheels, we want the alloy (or indeed steel) to be the focus this month please!

The header image is 700 pixels wide by 105 high. File size is not an issue, we'd rather have higher quality images we have to optimize a little to be acceptable for download times, than grainy or over optimised images that don't quite fit the bill.

ANYONE can enter (mods, admin, privilege members etc.). If you already have Privilege Membership and win the competition, you will simply never have to pay renewal, it will carry on for life for free.

To make it fair (in terms of allowing moderators etc. to participate) the winner will be chosen by myself after the competition closes at the end of each month.

Please post all entries in this thread and this thread alone. You can post images as attachments, or upload them to the MINI2 galleries (or your favourite image host) and link to them from this thread.

Good luck!

Don't these images need to be cropped to 700x105 to qualify?

It would help if they were already made to fit, be easier to judge them in context.

Please note the image size 700 by 105 pixels, so your images should either be cropped to fit, or larger than that size to be able to be edited down without loss of quality.

Also, standard MINI fitment (or JCW) wheels only please.



Thanks for the efforts so far, long way to go this month so keep it up.
