Pinoy Pride!!!!
Just an inquiry about the contest. Does the submission timeline NOT necessarily mean the dates that the pictures were taken?
Thank you very much.
The time line are the dates for submission of entries not the date of the photos taken.
hi what about the dpi? can i still submit a photo that has 96 dpi
hat you have to ask them for more information!
Do we keep the copyrights of our submitted photographs?
When would be the awarding?
how can i join? i mean wer do i sign up???
That was a outstanding write-up. I don't agree with each and every single thing that you said but still excellent nonetheless. On a side note, I am so ecstatic that the NFL is back. It seems like I been waiting forever. This has to be my favorite time of the year. Sorry, I'm rambling. lol
I have a question about this:
