5)Your photo will then be uploaded to the Ningyotan FB page in the folder for the corresponding week
6) This is a contest of skill but we are looking for individual entries that are creative or fun, not necessarily the best quality photograph (skill wise) so please upload even if you only have a mobile phone camera!!!

RULES:

1) Can enter more than one picture, but only one per week

2) Contest will run for 6 consecutive rounds and end Mon 13th Feb 2012

3) Original submissions only, the work has to be yours.

4) There must be a BJD or part of a BJD in the photo, any company's BJD is acceptable!

5) Winner(s) will receive their prizes at no charge but International entrants must pay the shipping fee

6) The theme 'Celebration' is entirely up to the entrant on how they wish to interpret that

OTHER NOTES:
1) We will be asking 1 random judge per week to pick their favorite submissions each week. Some judges will have absolutely or very little doll or judging experience. I will be requiring these judges to also give me notes to post on WHY they chose the winning image

2) The more your enter, the more chance for your images to be judged and to win

Is it allowed to digitally enhance/change the photos?

[trinlayk]

Do you mean our DoA gallery or our FB gallery?

[fiathriel]

@DeadRoseCircus - Yes by all means

@trinlayk - FB gallery

[Kielin]

So are there 6 winners for each prize (1 per round), or do you just move into the next round if you win?

Seems like since they say "The more your enter each week, the more chance for your images to be judged and to win." then 6 winners for each.

But is "Each week" a typo? Cuz above it says you can only enter once per week?

[Pinkeed]

Just to clarify, we can take any picture we want as long as it follows the theme celebration?

[fiathriel]

@Kielin - There are 3 overall winners but entrants can enter up to 6 photos into the competition if they enter each week
@sapphirewind - Should I change the wording somewhere perhaps?
@Pinkeed - Yes absolutely, as long as you fulfil each section of the submission guidelines to submit correctly then you can enter your dolly pic as you interpret the theme "Celebration", the photo has to look like there's a genuine attempt to fit the theme though, posting a picture of doll just wearing an outfit and saying there's a celebration of something isn't going to appropriate

3) Original and unique submission images only - Does it mean the photo can't be seen anywhere else (for example on Deviantart, Flickr or other FB competition)?

[fiathriel]

@mallia - Sorry, that could be worded better, original submissions referring to your work only, you have to take the photo, I'll reword it

"

1) Can enter more than one picture, but only one per week"
(...)
"2) The more your enter each week, the more chance for your images to be judged and to win"

So...how many pictures can I send each week ?

and your email: info@ningyotanbjd.com.au isn't working

[fiathriel]

@Yuki Sairu - One entry per week, I've altered the wording. I got your entry thanks. I've fixed the original post, the email address is -au.
@Rafael.VYana - drop the au and try info@ningyotanbjd.com, my apologies!

What days do the week end on? Is it certain dates, or just every Sunday or something?

Monday is the last submission day of each week with Mon 13th Feb being the last submission date for the competition overall

[Kielin]

The contest has been over for a few weeks now, when should we be expecting the winners to be announced?

EDIT: Saw your announcement, I hope everything gets fixed soon.
