In regards to the Wall1 comp, I have read through your help section as well as terms and conditions, and can find nothing referring to when the entries have to be taken.

So am wondering if entries have to have been taken specificaly for the subject each month, ie: not taken untill after the topic is announced.

Or if it is ok to submit something taken anytime before that, but fits the brief.

Thanks for your help,

Lea Hawkins

p.s I just noticed that here you say this months topic is "expressions" the website says "emotions", both pretty close! but still, I'm assuming it's "emotions" as the the topic.

Hi Lea, thanks for your query. While Canon would prefer you to take an image specifically to meet the EOS 1wall brief, this is not a mandatory and you can submit a shot you have previously taken.

Yes, you're right, "emotions" is the current theme. Sorry for causing confusion!

One entry per person? Barac doesn't seem to think that rule applies to him/her. Canon, please put better systems in place to make the playing field fair and even.

I have just been looking through the entries for this months "emotions" challenge and notice there are several photographers that have more than one image on the wall - Are we allowed to enter more than one photo?

Hi X and P, yes, there is only one entry per person.

We've put the best systems possible into place to make sure that you can only enter once, however some people do hack into the system to bend the rules.

We will ensure that only their first entry is looked at by the judges.

Hi Anna, if people are hacking into the system and bending the rules as you put it why would you even consider their first entry?  Why wouldn't they just be disqualified for cheating?

I uploaded my photo for 1Wall on monday night 30th Dec and still on Fri 4th Dec the photo is still not able to be viewed.as any one else had this problem. There has been 90 images on the wall all week.

Hi there:)

I uploaded a pic last night and I am hoping you got it.It is called "First Time"

I have tried emailing the 1wall email address but it keeps bouncing back?

Hi,

I am just wondering if my photo has uploaded.  It doesn't appear on the wall but it is titled Happy Birthday from memory.  Is there anyway of finding out.

Cheers

Hi there,

Shouldn't we still be in phase one of the competition?  As I read it in the 'terms and conditions', the timings are as follows:

Challenge one: Challenge announced 23.11.2009 / Upload Period 23.11.2009 - 7.12.2009 11.59pm AEDST / Judging Period 8.12.2009 – 15.12.2009 / Shortlist announced 16.12.2009 / Voting Period 16.12.2009 - 04.01.2010 11.59pm AEDST / Winners announced 05.01.2009

I had hoped to upload an entry today, yet the site says that the Pro Judge is now judging the entries?

thanks.

Hi Didi and Jo, we are currently busy moderating and uploading all the latest entries - they should be up by later this afternoon. Let us know if yours aren't up by tonight. Thanks!

Thanks,in reference to my other post about the photo not being there.  It's there now.  So now worries.

Hi Thomas, you're absolutely right! We didn't mean for the site to say that. We've fixed it and you can still upload until tomorrow morning. Thanks for letting us know.

Hi, I too tried to load a pic and received the same message as Thomas. Ive tried now, its 6:00am 8th December 2009, and the message is the same as before. Have I missed the re-opening?

Hi Belinda, yes unfortunately. As per the T&Cs, upload period finished at midnight last night. The next EOS 1wall challenge will launch on January 5 so stay tuned!

Hi Jason, yes, they would be. We can't see any obvious signs of cheating - please feel free to email us at 1wall@canon.com.au with any further information you may have. Cheers

Hi, me again, Last night I tried to upload at 6:00pm Perth time which is about 9:00pm Sydney/Melbourne time. If the competition closes at midnight, which time zone are is the Canon 1Wall site using please?

Thanks. Just so I know for next time. I'm guessing somewhere in New Zealand, maybe.

Hi Belinda, how odd! It is using Sydney time. Can you email 1wall@canon.com.au with your details so they can look into this for you? Thanks!

Hi Anna,

Just curious as to whether you are still processing entries made on the last day of the first phase of the competition? After getting your reply I entered my image, and yet it's still not viewable in the gallery over 48 hours later. I put it up about 10.30pm NZ time on the 7th.

Thanks again,

The Terms and Conditions clearly state that all submissions must have a title and a description, yet several finalists do not. Why were they selected as finalists given they did not abide by the rules?

Steve, you should use your people's choice vote with that in mind. We can't control what the judge will pick as a finalist. We can't control his vote. But we can control OUR vote. Power to the people's choice award!

Thanks to Canon for supporting Photograhic art!

Hi Steve, the T's and C's request a description and title but it's not mandatory. The only mandatory is that "each entry will be required to meet the specified criteria of the wall/theme to constitute a valid entry". Hope that clarifies things!
