The Rules are really quite simple.

1. All entries must NOT appear on the Camprice.com data base at the time of acceptance. (If I put it up the day before you mailed it in, you don't get credit...)

2. Cameras must be real life cameras, nothing fake or non existent. No shill cameras here please.

3. The "official" contest form must be used for entering any camera. Sending camera information via regular email just won't make the cut. You have to use the form. 

4. All fields on the form must be filled in, including the estimated value, and where you got your reference.

5. You must be a current Camprice.com subscriber when the entries are made. It would be silly to open this to non subscribers. How could they check what cameras are already on Camprice.com...? Advisors are not permitted to play the game.

6. No cameras made introduced after 1980 will be allowed

7. One point will be given for each new listing, with a bonus point for an accompanying .jpg image of the camera.
The image must be of the camera entered, and not a "similar" one.

8. Cameras with lens and shutter combinations not appearing in the current data base are valid entries, and will count as one point. Scanned B&W or color jpg image of the camera gets another point. (compressed images no larger than 50k please) Therefore if you have/find a Blitzoflex with a Blotar lens and Absord shutter and send me the info and a picture you get 2 points. Just the info is good for 1 point. But only if you use the form.

9. Corrections to current Camprice.com listings will be accepted with gratitude, but will not count as entries in the contest.

10. Don't forget to use the form

The first contest will begin soon and end on August 1st, 1999. The results will be announced by August 15th and and the contest renewed if people seem to want to participate. Every entry accepted whether submitted by a winner or not will have "...submitted by (your name here)" placed in the description field. Camprice.com is not required to accept any information for publication. In the event information is accepted, Camprice.com is the final voice in editing and valuation. For copyright purposes all entries become the intellectual property of Camprice.com. Images will be used with the permission of the owner and will be marked as "© (your name here)" and digitally watermarked with the Camprice.com DigimarkÆ code to discourage image theft. Remember that facts cannot be copyrighted. The fact that a Blitzoflex was made in Finland by S. Claus in 1935, takes Glass plates, makes 4x6cm negatives, has a Blotar 2.5/95 lens and Absord shutter does NOT represent copywritable material. Once those facts are put into the Camprice.com data base, and I describe it as the "best 4x6cm to come out of Finland in the last 100 years." it becomes copywritable material, based on its place in the Camprice.com data base.
