One photo everyday ... 365 days long.

Rules of the 365 group

Read carefully before posting.

We are a group of people who want (or try to) take one photo everyday...365 days long. No matter if you can't take everyday a "good photo", you have only to show what you see during one year!

Rules
These rules are valid for albums started after 1 February 2011 (old albums have to follow old rules).

365 RULES IN OTHER LANGUAGES (more translations coming soon)

Only partially translated rules

  1. HOW TO START (see also recommendation 1): Take one (1) photo every day during a year and post it in the album you will create in the 365 Photos page. Each day starts and ends at midnight, and a year ends exactly 365 days after the date of the first picture in your album.
  2. HOW TO GO ON (see also recommendation 2): No more than one (1) photo may be posted in your photo album for each day of the year. You may upload the pictures either on daily basis or at least once per month. We all find that sometimes we cannot upload a photo every single day (see also rule 5).
  3. HOW TO MANAGE YOUR ALBUM (see also recommendation 3): Order your images by date in descending order so that new images are displayed at the beginning of the album and make sure to insert the date of the photo in the description if it is not visible in the image data (camera EXIF).
  4. LIMITATIONS (see also recommendation 4): You may post pictures older than your album start date but they must be in daily consecutive order. If you can't take a photo on a particular day you can leave that day missing but you cannot have more than 30 days (one month) missing in total over the whole year. In other words, if you start with photo taken on March 1st this year, then the last photo should be dated no later than February 28th next year, and there must be at least 335 daily pictures taken within those 365 days. Your album will be deleted if it ends with more than 30 missing days. It is allowed to upload the last photos within two months later the 365th day so your album have to be completely uploaded within 14 months or it will be considered uncompleted and will be deleted.
  5. ALBUMS MODERATION (see also recommendation 5): If you don't upload an image for more than 30 consecutive days a moderator will contact you. If s/he has not received an answer within a week your album will be deleted. If you don't upload images for 60 consecutive days your album will be deleted without any notice. Blank albums 2 days old will be deleted immediately.
  6. COPYRIGHT AND IMAGES NOT ACCEPTED (see also recommendation 6): Photos you upload must be your own photographs. IT IS NOT ALLOWED to post someone else's photos, pictures you don't have copyright for, image files created on computer, collages or panoramas made with more than a single photo, or sexually explicit content. Moreover, comments in foul language or unacceptable posting behaviour is not allowed and will be removed by moderators immediately and could cause your album to be deleted.
Please, read the 365 recommendations complete list too.

Now you can start your 365 album.

The rules on About page are currently messed up because markup tags are no longer allowed on About pages at MyOpera. We may have to make this a permanent arrangement.

I decided to "cheat" a little and changed the post date to year 2015. That way we don't have to worry about making other posts sticky for next few years.

EDIT: Damn! It didn't work sad That just puts the post on hold till year 2015 bigeyes So, one has to change the date of this rules post to later every time when new sticky posts made.
