mephisto19

gabysalas
@lighttomysoul: there will be two winners for Stage 1 and two winners for Stage 2. @mephisto19: please do not resubmit, these photos need to be about energy around the planet, last stage was energy around you... Be creative and have fun!

Most of the entries I submitted for Stage 1 are more qualified for Stage 2 :( I hope I won't get disqualified for any of the stages. I got so excited and resubmitted some of the entries to Stage 2. I hope you would announce the first set of winners sooner, so we'll know if we could resubmit the entries. Thanks!

I wish there was an easy way of seeing which photos i submitted to stage 1... As soon as the submission window is closed, it's not longer possible to see all photos submitted to that comp in a one-page view...

@xondra: No, you do not need to have participated in stage one to be eligible to participate in stage two. You can upload pictures here and participate in stage two. Unfortunately, you cannot delete entries to the competition, but you can submit as many photos as you like. If you are unhappy with what you originally uploaded, feel free to upload new photos.

Sorry, if this is a dumb question, but does "no visible borders" mean that I should cut away the black lines at the sides of my pictures before submitting them?!
feemail
Is there any one who can help me (question above)?! I always see pictures with what I consider as borders around here...
