Important Items of Note » August 06, 2008

Hey folks! We have a few housecleaning items everyone needs to be aware of so we thought we'd wrap them all up in one giant alert.

First, do you realize there's about a week left to submit photos?!? That's not long at all! Be sure to check out the Fill the Gaps challenge and upload your finest photos in the last days.

Once the counter in the top right reaches zero, submissions will close and Vote Week will begin. Vote Week is pretty self-explanatory. It's a week where everyone needs to garner all the support they can for their photos. It's a week to camp out on your computer in front of Capture Music City and try to get your vote percentage graph (on your user profile page) up to 100%! We should top 750,000 votes... It's going to be a mad dash to the finish!

Before the counter reaches zero and Vote Week begins, we need everyone to shore up their captions. Remember, these photos will be put in a hard-bound fine-art book. It's going to sit on coffee-tables all over the place. We're going to try to use captions "as-is" for the most part, but if your photo has a caption that just doesn't make sense, or doesn't really describe the photo, or has a bunch of errors in it... well we might just have to skip it.. and we really don't want to do that. Bottom line: take a look at your captions and whip them into book-form shape! (To edit a caption click the "edit info" button on the photo's page.)

Speaking of the book, the counter reaching zero also marks the end of the contributor discount on the book. If you've submitted a photo or voted for more than 150 photos, we gave you a coupon code worth $5 off every book you order. Be sure to head to the order page and click the "buy it now" button before the chance to save is gone.

Two more items, then we'll let you get back to voting...

We had a few users tell us they never saw an alert for the last three challenge results. So to be extra sure everyone gets a chance to see the results of the last three challenges, here they are: Fall, Winter and Spring.

Finally, we posted some link love a while back and asked folks to let us know if we missed anyone. Here's the ones we missed. Thanks to all of these folks who mentioned us on their websites. In return, here's mention on our website: Nashvillest, Nancy Diana, It is What it is, Restore Wonder, MemorySnap Photography, Vi's Blogspot, Blog by Naomi, I'm a Hoot andSam's Studio.

Now go submit your very best stuff! Only a few days left!!!
