...has now been launched. Check out the rules and
guidelines right here.

Feel free to post questions and comments in this very
thread. Sine707 is delegated to manage the contest.

Please, dont post links to your faces elsewhere on the
web. Simple send us the photo and wait. :-)

i agree-it is a matter of trust..you could have a separate
section dedicated for mates of the community? might deflect
any cheating?? besides im better looking than my 'afx grin'
mate.

I have a question -- are we allowed to color correct our
photos in photoshop, just in case the lighting isn't so good
when the picture is taken, like adjust the contrast, etc? i
promise i won't distort my face or anything.

Phob and sine707 is off for a while, now, so I will
respond.

Color and level correction is allowed until there is no
distortion.

I hope you don't mind me doing this Phobiazero, but this is
one cool Aphex grin. It's actually a group photo of Sigur
Ros but the guy at the very right...well...you'll see.
