    Hi there guys!

    just been looking at the Metro Photo Competition entries and a large number of the ones displayed seem to break the rule of the competition!
    This is the rule I am referring to:
    2.To be considered for the prize the photo must have been taken in any city of your country of origin

    Looking through the galleries I can see photos from Thailand, Bolivia etc and these are in the Irish section!
    in addition there are plenty of beeches and mounatains that are nowhere near cities!!! In todays metro they have an entry of Lake Titicaca!!!

    Do you think they are just letting people enter what they want but will discount them from the judging process?
    Also wondering whether anybody here is (or has entered) entering a photo and whether they are sticking to that rule?!

    LOL well I still think it has to come from where you are entering from e.g a Bolivian living here would enter a photo from a city in Ireland (if he/she lives in Dublin shouldnt it be of Dublin etc?!!)

    At least if its of a city in Bolivia thats a start:pac:

    Yeah I saw that photo the other day, it was a lovely one with slow exposure; Congratulations :) I'd say you grabbed a fair few Metros that day!
    Whether they stick to the rules for judging is one thing alright; its just strange seeing some of the entries so far considering the criteria :rolleyes:
