Contest Rules[list=1][*]Only registered ClubLexus members are eligible to enter this contest.[*]Photographs will be accepted only from the original photographer. [*]Size limits: Maximum dimensions 1024x768 and 500KB or smaller.[*]Categories: Lexus ES, GS, IS, LS, LX, RX, SC. Entrants upload a photo (Maximum of one photo per category) to the correct contest gallery. Photos must include the appropriate Lexus model in the image submitted. [*]Only original photographs made with a digital camera, or photograph scanned from an original image will be considered. [*]The original, unmodified digital camera image must be avaiable to ClubLexus upon request. The original digital camera image must contain valid, unmodified EXIF data. EXIF data is information that the camera embeds in the original file, which our system must be able to read to validate your contest entry. The original, unmodified film camera image and negative must be avaiable to ClubLexus upon request.[/list=1]
Additional Contest Rules
Copyrights and Permissions[list=1][*]The photographer must hold the copyright to all photos he or she submits to the contest. Photographs that violate the laws of copyright will be disqualified. [*]The use of public domain images is prohibited in all categories. [*]Photographers retain ownership of all copyrights.[*]If your submission is selected as a contest winner, ClubLexus retains the rights to store and display the bordered image and its thumbnails indefinitely as part of the Photo Archives/Galleries, on any page at ClubLexus.com, and in any advertising for any of its websites. [*]Photographers must have sufficient permission of any recognizable models or other persons appearing in the photograph to be able to grant to ClubLexus the right to display their photographic submission online.[*]Any contest entrants meeting legal challenges from either copyright or insufficient model permissions will be removed and replaced.[/list=1]
Image Modifications[list=1][*]Please note: This is a photography contest, not a photoshop contest.[*]Camera add-on lenses, filters, and scopes are permitted without restriction. [*]Third Party software filters or plug-ins are discouraged. Obvious manipulation of an image may prevent the image from being selected to compete at the catgory level. Keep in mind that the intent of any modification is to produce a more natural looking photograph rather than an obviously manipulated one, and judges will make their selections on this basis. [*]Cropping and Rotation: Images may be cropped and rotated as long as a rectangular format is maintained. Contestants may submit images cropped into a panoramic format from a single photograph, however contestants are not allowed to use photo stitching software to create one image from two or more images. [*]Resizing: Images may be resized as long as aspect ratio is maintained.[*]Borders and Frames: No borders or frames shall be added to images prior to submission. Borders may be added by ClubLexus to all entries upon submission.[*]Watermarks, Signatures, or Copyright Notices: These marks may be added to the photos to protect the photographer's copyright. Keep in mind, however, that excessively large, distracting watermarks may weaken your photo and thus hinder its chances of being selected as a finalist. [*]Spot Editing, including Red-eye Removal: Spot editing refers to the application of a change or effect to a selected portion of a photo. Spot editing and red-eye removal are permitted for the purpose of improving the appearance of a photograph and to give it a more natural look. Keep in mind, however, that excessive spot-editing may weaken your photo and thus hinder its chances of being selected as a finalist. [*]Adding or Replacing Elements: Elements or objects that do not exist in the original photo shall not be added to an image. For example, you can not improve a sky by replacing it with a sky from another photograph.[/list=1]
Examples of Permitted Modifications[list=1][*]One-step enhancement (known in various software packages as Auto Levels, Enhance, Intellihance, Quick Fix, etc.) [*]Use of filters such as sharpen, unsharp mask, soften, blur, despeckle, JPG cleanup, and remove noise. These filters should not be used to the extent that they create a non-realistic or artistic effect. [*]Use of corrective functions such as levels, contrast, brightness, curves, gamma, intensity, tone, hue, saturation, desaturation, lightness, value (in HSV model), RGB color channel adjustment, color balance, and tint. [*]Use of the cloning or rubber stamp tool to remove minor blemishes and small, unwanted items such as power lines and debris that may spoil your composition. [*]Barrel distortion and pin-cushioning correction.[/list=1]
Restrictions[list=1][*]There are no age limit restrictions except where prohibited by law.[*]You may submit one different photograph to each category. [*]You may not submit the same photograph to multiple categories.[*]ClubLexus may elect to re-categorize your photo if appropriate. Inappropriate categorization, however, will most likely result in your photo not being selected as a finalist. [*]Obscene, provocative, or otherwise prurient content will not be considered. Photographs containing nudity will not be considered. Nudity is defined as the torso being completely or partially unclothed below the waist for all models and above the waist for female models. ClubLexus retains sole discretion as to what constitutes unsuitable content. [*]The contest selection decisions are final. However, photos will be kept in the pool for the remainder of the contest and may still be selected. [*]If a tie occurs during the Best of Category voting or Best in Show voting, the ClubLexus will select the winning photo. [*]System malfunctions, network delays, and other technical problems can happen and ClubLexus is not responsible to assure photos are submitted to the contest, nor does it make any guarantees of when the photos will be entered into the selection pool. [*]Employees, Moderators and Volunteers connected with ClubLexus or any of its sponsors, and their families, are not eligible to enter the contest. Moderators are not eligible to enter the contest during their judging tenure. [*]Prize winners may be responsible for shipping charges, taxes, or import tariffs according to location and/or local laws. [*]All federal, state, provincial, and local laws apply.[/list=1]
Public Voting [list=1][*]All The Best of Category and Best of Show winners are determined by a web-based vote by registered ClubLexus members. Reasonable measures are taken to assure fairness in voting. A voter is allowed one vote per category.[/list=1]
If you agree to all these rules and regulations, please enter your submission here: https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/sh...at=530&thumb=1

Good luck.
