RULES of SUBMISSION

If you have a favourite film with localities suitable for our site, that we haven’t yet put on site and you can pull some stills from the film and produce photos to match, then, as ever, we’ll pay a tenner for each. But let us know before you expend a large amount of time or effort, just in case someone else is working on the same film.

Many of our original stills will have been included on site as “establishing” shots, to enable everyone to better identify the shot which contains the actor and which often zoomed into close up.

RULES, as ever;

Film made/released twenty or more years ago, therefore 1985 or before.
Film made for cinema showing.
Original, final, snip to contain an actor’s image.
Panoramas, composite shots and establishing shots will all be regarded as a single entry and only be eligible for one fee, prize or premium.

Payment will be made when the photos, your photos, appear on site, which will take at least a month from when you send them in. Please allow another month for cheques to be written, sent, and received from Italy, where I live. Then, if you still haven’t received anything, then, tell us.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

please check before you snap. Your efforts are really appreciated, but if someone gets there first, they get the prize. Check first and don't duplicate effort.

Happy sleuthing

John Tunstill
