The October-November Photo Contest is now open for entries.

THIS THREAD IS FOR ENTRIES ONLY. ALL NON-ENTRY POSTS WILL BE DELETED.

Theme: Epic!

Your challenge this month my fellow Seibertronians is to depict your Transformers in the very real and brutal war they've fought throughout time. Their war's stretched from the inner chambers of Cybertron to our our own planet and beyond! Alien worlds have crumbled by their destruction. Show us the battles, the aftermath, the casualties, the winners...

Show us war.

Extra comments: Extra attention to clarity of photo (how well we can tell who's fighting who), set up, and scenery will be taken.

Maximum amount of Transformers has been risen to 15 for this contest, but having said that, please be aware that your photo should be clear and easily deciphered. If we have to search around to figure out what's going on, that's a problem.

This contest is meant to truly challenge you all so take special care in you're ideas and how you set up your shots.

As this theme is very broad, it's very easy to have similar photos; Uniqueness and creativity is encouraged.

The Contest will be open for actual entries from OCT 22-NOV 17.
There will be a one week deliberation for judging and results will be announced on the 26th of November.

Winners will receive Custom Signatures by our very own Sunstar with their winning entries.

For more details about the October-November Photocontest, and to comment on the entries check out this thread.

Good luck to all participants!

The musician best known to Transformers fans for "Dare" and "The Touch" from the original Transformers movie soundtrack (1986), Stan Bush, had some sad news to report on his MySpace Blog.

The UK Concerts set for Oct 5th at Rio's in Leeds and Oct 6th at Rock City in Nottingham have been cancelled. Because of an immigration policy, the singer was denied entry into the United Kingdom.

The following has been taken directly from his MySpace Blog.

"I was denied entry into the UK because of an immigration policy
involving a work permit, so my shows there were canceled. I apologize for any inconvenience to
my fans, many of whom traveled great distances. I did everything I could, but it was
beyond my control. We're looking ahead to arrange something there in the near future.

Yours,

Stan Bush".

Member Alex reports in on a new contest related to the DVD release of the movie this month:

"In addition to the Hostess and Chevy contests, Heavy.com is hosting a Paramount-sponsored "Transformers Ultimate Fan" video contest to promote the October 16th release of the Transformers DVD.

Contestants will submit 3 minute long videos demonstrating their superfandom in hopes of winning a cash prize of $1000 along with $440 worth of Transformers movie swag. To enter, contestants will have to upload their videos through the contest page at Heavy.com before early November. I believe this sort of thing has already been done by others for the theatrical release of the TF movie."


So for the creative folks in our audience, have a go, and good luck!!!
