  3. p.s. that comment was posted by me, your mom. I tried to register with Blogger, but every name I tried was “unavailable.” It is hard to believe that someone has already selected both PrayerWarrior and CathyKnoll!

  4. p.p.s. - It is only 8:35 p.m., not 1:35 a.m. as noted on the comment. Some computer or server has a malfunctioning clock or is posting GMT.

    The ground rules

    If you want to enter, you have to play by the rules. Here’s what we’re looking for in your entry. As creative as your entry may be, if it doesn’t comply with the guidelines here, and with the Official Rules, it will be relegated to the round file.

    Step 1: Preview the HP Designjet 130 printer demo, which will provide access to the HP Designjet 130 printer photo library.

    Step 2: Use one of the images you find in the HP Designjet 130 printer photo library (in the HP Designjet 130 printer demo) to create a work that demonstrates power of color from the HP Designjet 130 printer. Use the photo-manipulation or illustrative tools and techniques of your choice, but all work must be original. You may enter individually, or as a team composed of at least one (1) designer/art director and one (1) photographer.

    Step 3: Submit your jointly created piece of work. You must include a 50-word explanation or concept statement with your entry. All compliant submissions will be entered into the contest.

    Step 4: Your creative piece must comply with the following guidelines:
    Format: PDF or JPEG
    File Size: not to exceed 5 MB
    Print Size/Finished Size: not to exceed 24″ x 36″

    Step 5: All creative works will be judged by a panel selected by HP, including renowned photographer (and former designer) Joel Meyerowitz. See Joel’s work at: http://www.joelmeyerowitz.com.

    All compliant entries submitted will be entered into the contest and judged by qualified judges on the basis of the following criteria:
    Originality (50%)
    Creativity (50%)
