I'd love to enter my own contest, but I don't want it to be unfair. So I'm hosting the 2007 first annual Best HGS Photographer contest! It will be divided into several catagories. Look below for them, and a description of each if it requires it. I may need help later on, when it comes to voting, so if you're willing to help, PM me. The winner of each catagory will get a prize, most likely a photoshop, and overall winner will get something special.

Rules:

1. ONE picture per catagory.
2. NO internet pictures.
3. You MUST have been the photographer. It can be of a horse/person/subject you know, or it may be not (make sure you have permission), but you have to have been the photographer.
4. You can enter as many catagories as you'd like, but keep in mind the first rule.
5. CLEARLY state the catagory in which you're putting your the subject, or it WILL NOT be counted.
6. Please use THUMBNAILS! It makes it MUCH easier to set up for a poll.
7. Have fun!

if these are going to be judged by a poll then i dont see why you cant enter!! i would like you to enter

[barrel_racer64]

I agree. If you arent going to be judging, I dont see why you couldnt enter.

[_Rocket_Cutting]

Well, if you guys are sure....I'll have to gather my photos later, however. I'm at a friend's house right now.

Yes, they will be judged by a poll. I'm thinking by each catagory (Dressage, barrels, etc.), then by main catagories (English, Western, Other Horse, Other) according to the winners of each catagory. Then an overall picture winner.

Other Horse - Portrait
It's me in the picture but I set the camera up for auto picture, if it doesn't count then just ignore this!

[_Rocket_Cutting]

As long as you took the photo or set it up, like you did, it's fine with me. As long as the camera was in your hands, or no hands.
