AOL Community Photo Challenge-POSTCARDS• ANYTHING GOES! JUDGED



AOL Community Photo Challenge-POSTCARDS• ANYTHING GOES! JUDGED

Create your own post card, Front & Back, or you may use my template for the back of your postcard.  But you will have to address it & create your own greeting.  Your front card will be your own  photo .  It must be posted  at the top of the entry, the template/ postcard will be posted on the bottom, under the Photo you are submitting in the challenge.  You can be creative, funny, or serious.....Shoot anything you want, that you think would be good for a postcard.  Address it to whoever, & add your own greeting.
If you don't have an editing program & are not able to use the template, then add your greeting under the image.
Follow Guidelines & remember to enter in one of the 2 categories, FUN or JUDGE
Post on here before 7PM EST Friday April 18th

This will be our first POSTCARD challenge, but will have more in the future, so if you snag the template, hold on to it for future challenges.

UPDATE:  to clear up any confusion, you may enter in both categories during our FUN & JUDGED tryout.  You can only submit one entry per category & they must be different.  Please indicate the category & submit it in the correct category in the comment section.  If you submit it twice in the one category I will delete the second one.  Again, this is only a tryout, let see how this works out. 
Remember, if you do submit twice, you must have 2 separate entries on your journal.  Again, I am sorry about the confusion,  just trying to please everyone & make this a successful challenge.  I welcome all feedback.
Thanks ~
Marie

AOL Community Challenge-AGED•WINNERS•



This challenge has been one of the most difficult to judge, most of the entries came in with very close scores.
Usually we don't post 3 winners, but because the scores
were close, I decided to post the top 3 photos in this challenge.

Congratulations to the winners!


ROB:
Its so nice to see so many wonderful entries.  This was a tough group because there were a lot of interesting images and the scores were close on many of them - which makes it all the more fun to judge!  If this is indicative of the response we'll get to the new format, I'm very pleased - and its also nice to see some new 'faces' in the mix!

Betty:
It was not easy, I have to say I really had a very hard time...Thanks for asking me. I hope I did a decent job.

 Thank you Betty, you did a great job!
AND thank you Rob, for your continued support in our challenge!

Vicki is our First Place Winner



Vicki is one of our Judges that is on vacation & did not judge in this Challenge, so she was eligible for the challenge.

 Dan,  comes in 2nd Place




Gina is our 3rd Place Winner




Highlightling the Fun Challenge




We had many wonderful images in the fun category, so I post 3 that really stand out
 even though I would have like to post more.  I am trying different ways to upload
 these photos, I may post more or less in the future, all depends on the amount of time
 I have.  Please, if you already haven't, visit all of the entries in both categories.  We
 had a nice amount of beautiful images & also a few newbies to our challenge.  Thank you all for participating!

Viewing graphics & banners on this page

Viewing my graphics & banners

I need to know how other's view my journal.  All my photos & graphics I size at 10
 inches across, which includes the banners I use on here.  If this is
 messing up your AOL page/windows while viewing this page, let me
 know.  I will then reduce all my graphics including My PHOTOGRAPHS & MEMORIES Journal.

I use a MAC computer(I also use Firefox), so what I see is different then what you see.  My
 sidebar is narrow, so I need graphics that fit @ 1.5 inches, no larger.  I
 view everyone sidebar with cut off images.  So if there is a problem,
 please leave a comment, then I will adjust.  Thanks~
