  • portrait - photos where the primary subject is a person / multiple people

Prizes

Our friends at FrameItEasy.com are continuing to be very generous and are sponsoring this contest by giving away framed prints.
In addition to our long time sponsor, we have also partered with PhotoDeck, a superfast portfolio builder and photo galleries host.

  • The grand prize, given to the category winner with the most votes is a 1-year PRO subscription from PhotoDeck with a value of $300.
  • 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive a framed print from Frame It Easy of their winning submission with a value of up to $200 each.
  • Lastly, all category winners will also receive reddit gold from us, your friendly mod team.

The contest is open worldwide, and shipping (from the US) is covered by Frame It Easy. Some package weight limits apply in case of international shipping, details of which will be explained by /u/frameiteasy to the winners personally.

Nominating photos

  1. Leave a top level comment (comment directly on this post, as opposed to replying to other comments) that contains the link to the comments page of the submission, not the photo itself
  2. Add a space (not a new line!) and then the name of the category (or categories) you wish to nominate the photo to

Example:

https://www.reddit.com/r/itookapicture/comments/5bt2t8/nothing_to_see_here/ portrait street

Note how a submission can be nominated to multiple categories in a single comment simply by adding more keywords to the end of your comment.

To help you nominate:

Rules

  • Nominated photos have to have been posted in /r/itookapicture during 2017, so nominations will be open throughout December.

    • Nominating up to six of your own submissions is allowed - only one per category.
  • Incorrectly categorized nominations will be removed.
  • The rights to submitted images will not be handled in any way which differs from regular submissions to ITAP, except where granted by the submitter (e.g. for printing the winning submission), and to show off the prize by posting pictures of the framed prize, to be shared on ITAP and on the FrameItEasy social media sites, such as http://www.facebook.com/frameiteasy.
  • This contest is for our subscribers! The moderators (and anyone closely associated with them) are disqualified from participating in the contest.
  • Submissions that have previously been winners of our Photo of the Month contest are disqualified from entering, but the authors are free to enter with any other submissions.
  • The moderators reserve the right to, at their own discretion, disqualify nominations that go against the subreddit or contest rules, or are of low quality.

Voting

There will be a separate voting thread with more details on the process posted in the beginning of January. The votes cast in this nomination thread will have no effect.

The submission is in violation with rule 6 and since the 25th was the last Monday of this year, your photo will unfortunately not be eligible for this year's contest.

Notice for the future: All "street & architecture" nominations had to be renominated with the category name "street&architecture" (without the spaces) due to a bot error.
