"OzBargainers In The Wild!"
Take a photo of yourself or an OzBargainer in the wild.
This OzBargainer can be pricematching something in Officeworks, ordering a McFlurry, standing next to a famous landmark or whatever else you want.
Each user will receive points for their photos.
Rules:
- A photo must be an OzBargainer in the wild. OzBargainer can be identified with either an OzBargain T-shirt (if you have one), or the print-out page (covering the head for example).
- Each user is allowed to submit multiple entries, and the final score will be the sum of top 3 entries from that user.
- Score for each photo will be judged by creativity, originality, photo quality, as well as bonus points from a list.
- Definitely no photo-shopping.
- Photos only. No video or drawings.
- Contest ends June 30.
Points:
- Total score = sum of scores of top 3 entries of each user.
- Entry score = Base points (0-10) + Bonus points
- Base points are determined by the originality, creativity, photo quality, etc.
Bonus Points:
- Bonus points are scored when you include one or more of these features in your photo.
- Each bonus point (denoted by a letter) can be claimed only once per entry. (e.g. Max score from popular product, denoted by A is +5)
- Each entry is permitted to claim a bonus point for each letter.
- When any +5 point item has been claimed, no one else will be able to claim the bonus using that item. E.G. If someone claims an Eneloop for their entry, no one else will be able to use an Eneloop for their entry.
- The famous person needs to be them in real life. No cut outs, posters, impersonators, or people with the same name.
+5
- A) next to famous landmark (e.g. has a wikipedia entry)
- B) eating in fast food restaurant (e.g. KFC, Hungry Jack's, McDonald's)

I had an idea of finding homeless people, giving them my OzBargain t-shirt, hacked meal, and a popular item like dove soap or socks.
was thinking of doing it, but the quality of the submissions especially towards the end was too much to beat.
