Model Mayhem is proud to announce two new contests that will start tonight at Midnight CST.  The contests are Model of the Day and Photographer of the Day.  The contests will be hosted by Bill with Albertex Photo and Steve with SJH photography.  The rules are very similar to POTD OE. 

Here are the Photographer of the Day rules:
BANNER UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Enter your best work and vote for your favorite image! The Daily Photographer of the day will be posted at the top of the thread and on the Red/Green Beginning/End-of-day banner daily post.

Please try to make entries from Red/Green Beginning/End-of-day banner MidnightCST to Noon and vote from Noon to the Red/Green Beginning/End-of-day banner MidnightCST.

VOTING CLOSES at MIDNIGHT  or shortly thereafter at the discretion of the contest staff.
  All voting officially ends when the Red/Green Beginning/End-of-day banner is dropped, with no votes for a given day counted afterward.

1.  You may only enter an image that you were directly involved in creating as the photographer..

If the copyright holder requests that an entry be withdrawn from competition then the image and any votes it received will be disqualified.

2. No unnecessary discussion, debates, or critiques. Let's keep talk to a minimum, filling these pages with images and not dialog.

3. Do not re-enter any image that has appeared in the photographer/model  of the Day during the past 15 days or the image will be disqualified.

4. When voting click quote under the image you wish to vote for.  Below the quote please use the word VOTE, so you don't confuse your vote with just a comment such as "This is cool" or "I really like this one".

A given individual may enter only ONE IMAGE per day and may VOTE only once per day.  Images may be of any subject: people, dogs, cats, butterflies, bridges... most any photography not prohibited by Model Mayhem's mature image guidelines is acceptable.

IF you enter an image then you are expected to vote.

The day's voting ends at or shortly after time to be confirmed . The precise end of voting is marked by the BIG RED End/Beginning of Day banner.  No votes for the day are counted after the banner is dropped.

5. Individuals that participated in the creation of an entry may not vote for that image. These individuals include models, makeup artists, stylists, and Photoshop wizards.  Such votes will be disqualified.

6. NO VOTE STACKING!!! In all fairness to contestants and others, please don't impose upon others to vote for your entry.  If the photographer of the day  staff senses abuse then we will investigate, potentially disqualifying suspect votes and even your entry.

7. An image that has previously won Photographer of the day contest cannot be re-entered in this competition.  Such images are automatically disqualified. This includes derivative works as well as a different cropping.

8. If your image has been posted for more than a few minutes then DON'T change it.

9. Please post your image only once on the day that you enter it.  Contestants are not permitted to BUMP images.  Such images will be disqualified.

10.  No mature (18+) images or links as defined by Model Mayhem's mature image guidelines found here.  Mature images include:

- female nipple or areola
- bare buttocks (thong or not)
- flaccid penises
- pubic area (whether hair is present or not)
- implied sexual activity
- bondage
- depictions of blood
- depictions of violence
- depictions of drug use
- see-through or semi-transparent clothing or body paint which shows any of the above

Also forbidden are images that include:
