What about LO's we have already posted on DD? (or vice versa, once we submit can we include it in our DD gallery) Or do they have to be brand new. I have never done anything like this but I have read in the forums about only new LO's being used when submitting for contest and what not. I read the rules but they were long and I didn't see it mentioned.

Many thanks,

[Cassie Jones (1gr8muggle)]

I don't think there's a problem with uploaded layouts you have in other galleries. This is an "awards" contest . . . how can there be an Oscar given out for a movie nobody's seen?

[shellb]

Cool...Thanks!

LOL that makes perfect sense Cassie! Love that metaphor.

And thanks for sharing! Sounds like so much fun! Yet another group on Flickr to distract me.

It means that if you have a layout picked up for publication, you must remove it from any online galleries and it can not be published by another magazine. This does not mean that you can't submit to multiple publishers, it just means that if one picks it up then another requests it, you have to turn down the second request.

Sad they are excluding us international scrappers :-(

OK, what's the matter with me? When i click the link cassie posted, the latest entry i see on Molly's blog is from feb 20 -- says nothing about a contest. I'm sure i'm missing something...

[rubia]

forget it...i found it by going to the link Rusheika posted and signing in

[bjwtville]

I am not sure I understand how to submit...I am a member,(I clicked on that link) have uploaded pages and am a "member" of a "digital scrapbook" group. What next? What gallery do the pages go to when you have uploaded them? Do you just "tag" the page as "contest"? Hate to sound so stupid but I have never submitted anything..just post here and a few other places. thanks...

Hi Bonnie!
After uploading your pages to Flickr, you need to send them to the Digital Scrapbooking Mag group. Look for "send to group" link right above your LO (it's small!). When you click on it, you should get a drop down menu. Since you are a member of the Digital Scrapbook Mag on Flickr, they should be listed in this drop down menu. Click on DSM & it should post to the DSM gallery. According to the instructions, in your title you need to put what catagory you want your LO in; Drama, Documentary, Friends-Family, Comedy, Romance. I then tagged my LO using the words digital, scrapbooking, magazine, contest, etc.
I hope this helps!
I was lost too!
Good luck!
