The November MINI2 Header Photo Competition - Win MINI2 Privilege Membership

[Paul]

November's MINI2 Website Header Photo Competition!

This Months' theme is: Close Ups

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

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
grand_cru - Gallery
Beast Master

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.

This months theme is - MINI Close Ups

For "MINI Close Ups" we are looking for intersting, exciting, unusual and smart close up/macro shot images of your MINI, or any part of your MINI, interior or exterior. Have fun!

The header image is 750 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.

Please make sure that photos submitted this month are "pre-trimmed" to the 750 x 105 pixel dimension.

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!

Excellent! - can take part in this one - haven't been anywhere with good architecture in October & MK isn't exactly world-renown for it, so I kind of sat out last months'. - Loads o' pics to follow

Well there's one that is better than my four put together already!

If that's what you think, take some inspiration, take some more, and try again. That's kind of the point of these competitions too, to help inspire people to take more varied (and maybe better) photos of their MINIs.

Thought I'd give this a shot, too.

Thought I would try some R56 close ups These ones are low res versions - full res saved in case they are needed.
