Picture Limerick II : We Have a Winner

billy the squid

Due to the success of the last contest, I am going to do it all over again.

To enter, all you need to do is to go outside with a camera, and take a photograph of something limerick related. You can use any kind of camera whether it be a big flashy professional camera, or a lowly camera phone.

I will be offering a prize of €50 cash to the winner. If someone wants to sponsor a prize in addition to this then send me a PM.

here are the rules.

• The picture must have been taken between today and the closing date (1st June 2006) Entrants must also give a description of what their picture is of.
• The picture must be your own work. anyone posting someone elses work will be disqualified and will receive a lifetime ban from the Limerick City Forum
• The picture must be no more than 600 pixels wide
• All pictures should be posted in this thread. They will be subsequently re-posted on a host by me so that people can view the images after the competition
• A shortlist of 10 pictures will be selected by me on the 1st of June and these will be put to a public vote.
• Images are to be posted in This thread. Please do not comment on pictures here, If you wish to comment, then do so in a separate thread
• Anyone found to be rigging a public vote will be disqualified and will receive a lifetime ban from the Limerick City Forum. Please remember that users have received sitewide bans from boards.ie for creating duplicate accounts. Should duplicate accounts be created for the purpose of rigging votes, a site wide ban will be requested from the admins.
• Those with moderating ability on the Limerick City Forum are prohibited from entering the competition.

Them is the rules, so get snapping and

A funny (at least for me, as a merry foreigner) street sign by the river.

Bedford Road rebuild,

"pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again"

Very apt for Limerick city.

Hello,
This Photograph is of the L.I.T College.the reason I picked this Photograph is because,Limerick doing so well right now is related to the colleges and the amount of students brought into limerick.and the fine education the students are getting and using in the city to bring wealth in both cash and the arts.:)

Hey Damomanye, you must have been right behind me!;)

Here's my entry. I posted it already, but I think I'll enter it into the competition.







It just sums up the whole city for me in one word.

Pride.

@karmafaerie - your sig brings back memories "...Castletroy, where once I heard a eurostud calling, my love life's in the pits and this college is the sh**s and it looks like I'm gonna get another E, what's the difference tween a Tsar and a morris minor car..."

@inga

a few things to remember

• this thread is for entries to the competition, if you want to comment on the pictures, start another thread
• The pictures were taken between the date the competition opened and the 1st of June, therefore they qualify for entry to the competition
• The pictures were taken in Limerick therefore they qualify for entry to the competition

@parsi

Can you clarify which of those pictures you are entering into the competition.

As fate would have it, the number of entries matches the maximum number of poll options. so there are ten options and you have two weeks to vote. remember, i will be watching for people voting for them selves using more than one account. Anyway. good luck to whoever wins!
