Judge Ashar’s in the saddle at last after – and it seems so long ago – this fine winner:

Judge Ashar’s Topic:
Beaver Flying Around in Washington State...

My theme for this contest is Aircraft at Work...You must choose an aircraft that is...at work! For example, say you have a DeHavilland DH-2 Beaver with a wilderness tour scheme. Then you must depict the aircraft doing its job, which in this case, is flying over the wilderness of some remote region.
Whichever shot best depicts the aircraft in its element will be chosen as the winner. For this contest, I will let anyone use any sort of aircraft they want. You can have a balloon for all I care, but it must represent its "job". You may use cigar tubes, but I know you folks are WAY more creative than that. Think about it!
UN C-130 about to embark for an air drop into war riddled Darfur

Good luck,
Ashar
THIS WEEK'S RULES aka blah blah blah
1. To reiterate, the aircraft must be clearly doing it’s job.
2. Payware ok, editing not okay.
3. You nominate one shot only, as a thumbnail of about 5 kb. IT CAN BE AN OLD SHOT if you don’t have time to create something especially for the comp, though original entries are encouraged…. Post it in this thread, below.
DEADLINE for submission of shots is 8 PM GMT on SATURDAY FIFTH JANUARY 2008.
The judge will choose which shot is best and tell Krigl on Saturday or Sunday…
DEADLINE FOR JUDGE TO INFORM KRIGL: 8 PM GMT SUNDAY
The winner will be announced Sunday evening.
And, your winning shot goes into the Personal Portfolios!
4. The winner should decide on the next competition, and, by MONDAY NIGHT 8:00 GMT, send KRIGL one pic plus a short text to describe the competition and what they are looking for. Also send another couple of your best shots.
We will start the new competition on Monday night, so people have 5 evenings to produce their entries.
5. This is for fun, so just post whatever seems to you to fit the rules. In the spirit of StudioV, we're all aviation and aviation screenie fans, and friends, and so just about everything goes. Rules are secondary, and no questions needed.
It might be an idea to check out our Judge's work, see what he likes....
TWO 'IMPORTANT' NOTES
A. The main point is that you get to be the judge – but the winning shot will also extend your portfolio….
B. If people don’t meet the dead-lines, don’t be surprised if Krigl makes the choices or even the competition for you. Studio V must ‘run on time’…. Sorry to be evil about this but it’s for the greater good, as it were.
So planes etc buzzing round like so many busy bees are what we want to see this time…let’s get to work ourselves and put on a good show for the Asharlander!
