These will be have a special logo for this contest, and the winners will be immortalized here at Hypo for their prolific photographic prowess. Everyone who gets 15 items by this date will receive a Hypo Magnet good for use on any ferrous metal surface! We will have photo contests in several categories after July 1st. The scavenger hunt will continue until nobody is playing anymore. You must be a member to play, so join Hypo today! *** Notice: I will be the judge of every picture's eligibility. I am not going to be a hard-*** about it, but the pictures should be of good quality and clearly show the item they represent. You may have multiple items in a single picture, but they should each be clearly represented. *** BillDEADLINE #2 - Sept 21, 2007 The deadline has been extended to the end of summer. All the other details remain the same... Send them in!!! Bill Quote
Mercedes Benzene Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 Wow. That's a huge extension!Haha. I don't feel as rushed anymore. Quote
TheBigDog Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Posted June 27, 2007 Wow. That's a huge extension!Haha. I don't feel as rushed anymore.If you do one picture per day you would finish with a month to spare. I am trying hard to get all 60 by the deadline. Bill Quote
freeztar Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 If you do one picture per day you would finish with a month to spare. I am trying hard to get all 60 by the deadline. Bill I'm off to Michigan for the next five days, so I'm hoping to get some shots then (at least a canoe rower). I thought of one you could add for next time. A payphone! They're getting hard to find these days. Some of the shots are going to be hard to come by, such as the shortwave radio and the children shots. I'll have to make my way down to the observatory to try and get a telescope shot (or perhaps Walmart has a display I can pose with ). Quote
Mercedes Benzene Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 This was in the original contest description:We will have a photo contests among the entries in the Scavenger Hunt. We will vote for nominees and then have a regular poll to vote for winners. Does this mean that there will be different things that we vote for? Like: best overall picture, most creative interpretation of the theme, etc? Quote

It looks like I may have some free time in Mexico after all... (but I forgot my camera!) Bill Quote
Mercedes Benzene Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 I'll start sending you mine shortly. Since I really just started looking for photos today, I'll be behind everyone else for a while. Not to worry. I shall soon be in the competition. :hyper: Quote
TheBigDog Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Posted June 29, 2007 We have 73 photos entered so far. At the end of the month I will cut off for our first photo contest among the entrants. I am going to start a thread for each contest where we will take nominations. Then I will add a poll for the voting among the top nominees. We will have up to ten photos in each contest. Get your pictures in by the end of the month to be included in the June voting. Bill Quote
Mercedes Benzene Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 I should have a few in by tomorrow evening (just in time right?:hyper:). Tomorrow's trip to DC should provide me with some good entrants. Quote
Turtle Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 just to clarify, these photos have to be new ones taken just for the contest? yes, no? :) Quote
TheBigDog Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Posted June 29, 2007 just to clarify, these photos have to be new ones taken just for the contest? yes, no? :)Yes, but it is more of a guideline that a hard rule. If everyone goes out and takes new pictures that is great, but as long as you are using your own pictures, not hunting the internet, then they are fine. Do you have some pictures of a young turtle playing in a sprinkler? Bill Quote

Tormod Posted July 1, 2007 Report Posted July 1, 2007 I'll admit to having submitted one shot that was taken a while ago...it involves an insect and a plant... :doh: Quote
TheBigDog Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Posted July 2, 2007 The June pictures are all in, and we are going to have voting in three categories... Best Overall Picture - this is for pure composition, appeal, and technical excellence of an individual photo. Best Example of what is being pictured - each photo is trying to show an item from the hunt; which one best displays the item it is trying to show? Most Interesting Picture - this is a bit of a free-for-all; which picture is just the most interesting to look at, or was the most difficult to take, or was the most creative in its composition - pick your own criteria. Everyone, please feel free to nominate up to 5 pictures for each category. Post your nominations in this thread. On July 15th I will start 3 polls based upon the nominations. The voting will continue until the end of the month. All members are eligible to vote. We will be doing this again for photos received in July. Keep them coming! Here are the photos eligible for the June contest... chendoh (17) *First to 15!! 3, 4, 10, 11, 21, 25, 27, 30, 33, 45, 46, 47, 48, 53, 54, 55, 56freeztar (6) 11, 21, 27, 30, 36, 56TheBigDog (20) 1, 2, 5, 9, 11, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 27, 28, 30, 31, 45, 46, 54, 56, 57, 58Turtle (7) 11, 36, 39, 40, 46, 49, 59Monomer (17) 2, 3, 8, 10, 17, 21, 26, 27, 29, 35, 39, 41, 45, 46, 47, 48, 56 Jay-qu (6) 3, 9, 14, 22, 32, 36Tormod (8) 7, 8, 9, 18, 28, 39, 45, 57Mercedes Benzene (15) 7, 9, 10, 20, 22, 27, 28, 29, 39, 40, 45, 47, 48, 50, 59 Quote
