Since lots of members are showing up which I've never heard of I would like to quote this section from the rules;
Quote:
2. To enter the One Ring Awards you must be a registered 'active' member and not have been banned from the One Ring site. A message will be displayed if you have. If so, you should contact the Admin team to find out why. If you have registered and are not banned and you still cannot log in then check and double-check your username and password. Usually this is the problem; if not, you should contact the site Admin team.
3. The competition is intended for members of the One-Ring community website and is not open to outsiders, so we are trying to discourage people from joining the site just to enter the competition. As such, we ask that entries are limited to only those members who are regular visitors in the forums, galleries, chatrooms and chatbox.
It's not my intention to draw attention to anyone, I just wanted to make sure that every contestant is aware of this. The committee checks the (available) history of all contestants...
@KnightOfRohan: you can enter formally as you wish, every beginner's entry will be judged by the committee anyway. We will decide wether your entry suits the Beginner's Category.
Secondly; yes, you submit only one photo. Every contestant has a restriction of one 800x800 (pixels) photo for his entry. You are allowed to combine several photo's within this single photo though. You can check the current entries in the Open Category to see what I mean.
@Lethiador: you can join if you wish, but the committee has the right to ask for WiP pictures. This rule is meant to keep cheaters and thieves away. If WiP pictures are demanded by someone of the committee and you can't provide them you might get excluded.
