Blackest Night Ring Contest of Champions to the Max: Rules Edition

By now we hope you're all excited about our Blackest Night Contest. Not familiar with the contest? Click the link and we'll wait for you.

While those noobs are reading about the contest, let's get a head start on the rules so you folks who've been in the know all along can get started. Here are the rules for the Blackest Night Contest:

Rule Number 1:
Don't hurt anyone or do anything illegal to get your pictures. Just thought we'd cover that base and get it out of the way.
Rule Number 2:
One contest entry per person. Feel free to send in as many pictures as you'd like, but only one can be your contest entry. If you send multiple pictures, please indicate which one you'd like us to judge you based on.
Rule Number 2.5:
Forgot about this when I first wrote up the rules. All seven rings in the spectrum (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet) must be in the picture. You do not have to use the black ring, as we did not know we would be doing the contest when they originally came out. You will not receive extra consideration for using the black ring to be fair to the other contestants (though feel free to use it if it fits!)
Rule Number 3:
You must indicate whether we can publish your picture on our blog and/or future website. If you're not comfortable with your picture on the internet, you must let us know when you submit your picture or we'll just put it right up. Which leads me to:
Rule Number 3 Corollary A:
If you win the contest, we will post your picture up on our blog and/or website. Please understand that if you win, your picture will be made public.
Rule Number 4:
Please submit your picture as a jpeg or gif file. You can e-mail it to the store directly or send a link to your personal webspace where we can find the picture.
Rule Number 5:
You may use anything you want to alter, edit, or prettify your pictures. Photoshop? Sure. Stickers? Knock yourself out. Costumes? All the better. Have fun, be creative, we're looking forward to it.
Rule Number 6:
This is more a warning than a rule, so allow me to readjust.

Warning Number 1:
The Comic Swap staff will judge your pictures based solely on our opinions and taste. There will be no logic to this. We can't promise to judge your piece based on composition, clever use of negative space, and knowledge of photographic technique. Probably we're just going to pick the one that's awesomest. Apparently awesomest isn't a word. Who knew?
