August
Picture Perfect!
Details
- Runs: August 1 - August 31, 2014.
- Overview: Group members will take original photographs and upload them to their own portfolio on carbonmade (the basic portfolio on carbonmade is free). Group members will send the link to their carbonmade portfolio to their Group's Spirit Leader, who will then add the link to a spreadsheet that will be submitted at the end of the competition (August 31).
- Judging: Various members of the CollegePlus team and their cousins will view the carbonmade portfolios and vote for their favorite photograph. Photos will be judged on their originality and creativity. The photo with the most votes wins. In the case of a tie, a runoff vote between the tied photos will be held until a winner is determined.
Rules
Group members can submit up to 35 photos as that's the limit for the basic carbonmade portfolio.

Photos that lack originality and creativity will not be awarded any points (i.e., no snapping a photo of things like your thumb in the viewfinder, your messy bedroom, your favorite show on TV, etc.). In order to be eligible for 10 points, photos will need to demonstrate that the photographer put some work or thought into the photo.
