Oh no! Our ship has crash landed on a deserted island! What can we do to pass the time until the ship gets repaired? HEY! I have an idea! Let's have a scavenger hunt So dig out everything you've got in your pockets and packs and let's see what you can donate to the cause... for prizes of course
There will be two lists of things that could come in handy for our stranded situation, some things common and others a bit more unique, and each worth a monetary amount; the higher the amount the more uncommon the item. You just need to take a photo of each item, although it won't hurt to get a bit creative with angles and shadows and what not Just sayin. *wink wink nudge nudge*
Also, I should mention, it might be worthwhile to pop in the thread from time to time as there will be some bonus lists that only last for 24-hours!
All photos must be accompanied by a slip of paper with your username on it You may not edit in your username. Should you want to use a PROOF PHOTO that's ok too. Read the first bullet here to learn more about proof photos. (Thanks, Cherry! )
.
You may make minor edits to your submission on photo editing software to alter the white balance, enhance the colors, or adjust the focus. You may not add anything into your photo or significantly alter it beyond minor aesthetic changes. You may add a black and white or sepia filter to submissions if you wish. If you are unsure if the edit you would like to make is okay, just show me a before and after and I'll try to help you out. This will have no impact on your eligibility.
.
Your submission must be your own photograph. Plagiarism is very serious and we do not take it lightly here in Menewsha. In addition to being booted from the contest, if you are found to be using someone else's photo, you will receive an infraction against your account. It's not really worth the risk, people! Don't do it!
.
Please submit photos with as many items as you can fit clearly in each picture. More than one picture is fine, I just don't want 45 pictures from any one user Oh and please only submit using your main account, no mules.
.
It is up to you to make sure that the image hosting service you have chosen for your picture (photobucket, imageshack, etc.) is reliable and that you have provided the correct link. If your image no longer works and instead displays one of those error images, I may or may not make an effort to contact you for a new link to the image. However, if this happens while I am judging, I will not have the time to wait a few days to hear back from you and so your entry may be looked over. If you notice your image is not working, please contact me ASAP with a working link.
.
Because lots of asked, you may get your pictures from a store as long as you include your user name on a slip of paper and you still must follow the same rules as above.
.
All submissions must use the submission form provided below. Please link to your submissions, do not imbed them with [img][/img] tags.

Now on to the good stuff! Gold will be awarded for each item you capture in a photo, whether it be 1 item or 50! (check the list below to see how much each item goes for) As for the rest of the goodies, well, you're gonna have to wait to see what they are But I can tell you that there will also be prizes given out for every 15 items you find on the list (does not include the bonus rounds) and possibly even more fabulous prizes if you make photos that are particularly creative or thought provoking and anything else I feel like giving out prizes for!
The First Place prize for the most items found will be worth at least 10,000g
The Second Place prize for second most items found will be worth 7,000g
And if anyone get's them all... well... the prize would be most amazing and rare!
Photos will not be disqualified for poor lighting, quality, time stamps, etc. but ones with excellent quality and due attention paid to lighting, angle, color, background and/or staging are much more likely to get a little something extra.

Omg this sounds fun, do I need to have a single picture for each item?
nope, you sure don't. that'd be a lot of pictures for you to take and for me to go over so as long as i can tell what the items are then, yes, please include more than one item in each photo and list which items you have
