Rules, Info, and Prizes

This contest is not officially associated with the Dragon*Con convention. Please don’t sue us, Dragon*Con! We love you!

These rules have been updated for the 3rd Annual Dragon*Con Photo Hunt, 2012. Be sure to check Twitter (@DC2012PhotoHunt) and the blog often for updates.

Submitting Photos

Post all submissions to our Flickr group:DC 2012 Photo Hunt

When using the Flickr website, first join our Flickr group. Next, navigate to the photo you want to add to the group, click on the Actions drop-down menu above the photo, and select Add to / Remove from a group. This brings up a dialogue box allowing you to select the DC 2012 Photo Hunt group from your list of groups.

Please note:

• All of your submissions must be sent from the same Flickr account to be counted together.
• To be counted as a submission, tag each of your photos with the number of the item on the list that the photo satisfies.
  Example: a picture of 3 My Little Ponies should include the tag “34″
• To fulfill the requirements of an item on the photo hunt list, the image should be a single photo, actually taken at this year’s convention. No cheating with photo editing software!
  Example: “Link and Zelda” = a single photo of two appropriately costumed people standing next to each other (not two separate photos pasted together)
• You MAY submit more than one photo for each item on the list. You won’t get extra points for quantity, but it may help you with ‘quality.’

About the scoring: Scoring is based primarily on quantity of list items satisfied (not total number of photos). Partial credit is awarded for photos that meet some requirements but not all (i.e. 2 Avengers instead of 3).
