- CONTEST IS OVER - 5th FEB 2012 -
Please Take Note:
- I noticed a few people uploading just any pictures. Please take note that the picture should have something that resembles the letter "X". See Examples of Uploaded X Pictures.
- Stock photos from Google or any other photo site are not allowed and will be disqualified. The pictures must be your own.
- Altered pictures (using photoshop or any other editing tool) to enhance the X are not allowed. You can sharpen and contrast the picture but putting in an "X" is disallowed.
- You are allowed a maximum of Five (5) pictures to be uploaded.
- Any pictures that do not meet the above will be removed.
Final Check:
- Remember for step #4, you have to "RENAME" your uploaded "X" image to your EMAIL ID - Example: johnsmithATgmailDOTcom.jpg.
- Do NOT rename johnsmith@gmail.com.jpg as it will NOT register.
- Images without the correct email id will be disqualified as we do not know who the image belongs to.
- Once you submit your "X" picture, you will see it there in the widget. You are done!
- No nudity, racial, religious, derogatory or discriminating pictures.

Kevin - That sounds like a plan! Thanks :)
Thristhan - Awesome and good luck bro!
Also, the pictures need to be your OWN photographs. Any stock footage will not be eligible.
i have been participating since day 1 and i have uploaded more than 5 pictures already :( just saw that a max of 5 is allowed...Is the five effective from today or will all my previous pictures not count? :( Please do let me know...I have been hunting for "x factor' images daily and it would be sad to see the pictures i submit being ineligible :(
Hope to hear from you soon...have a nice day ahead...God bless!! :)
Thanks for the swift response :) Im glad they will count...and yes...all my photos were taken with my camera or my phone ;) Btw, does that mean i cannot submit anymore images? How does the 5 pictures criteria work? Will the system automatically block any images uploaded from the same email add after 5 uploads?
Additionally, will you a create a album of the shortlisted entries at the close of the comepetion (before announcing the winners)? This will surely keep the participants excited/tensed before the announcement of the winners..Just my 2 cents :p
Sorry for so many questions...I just want to make sure i dun break any of the rules :)
Have a nice day ahead! God bless..
Good luck and thank you for your support.
