Billdozer and I are the first to admit it: neither of us is a photographer. Many of our faithful ChopCult members are, however, and for this reason the best of you deserve your props. Jason Craver at No School Choppers agrees, and he's volunteered three great prizes to sweeten the pot on this month's contest.

The rules for this month's ChopCult photo contest are simple:

1) Shoot a picture. Anything: motorcycles, still lifes, live action, hot chicks and bikes, you name it. All we insist is that every photo submitted must relate to the machine or the "lifestyle" (whatever that means) in some way. No Mexican sunsets, Ansel Adams desert scenics, cheesecake photography, etc. It's got to have a bike or speak to the scene in some way, or it won't make the cut.

2) All photos must be 1200 pixels wide or 800 pixels tall by 72 dpi max, no exceptions. Cellphone snappies, postage stamps, 10-gig posters and all similarly incorrect images will be deleted from the thread.

3) Post your photo on the contest thread that's stickied on the main forum. The name of this thread is "ChopCult Photo Contest," and you can find it by clicking here. The deadline to submit your photo is May 31, 2010.

4) Original photos only. No rehashed, repopped, recolored or rejected photos from other shooters will be accepted. If we think we've seen a shot before, we'll delete it from the thread. Also, no pro shooters, please. If you make a living shooting photos, please let the amateur shooters among your ChopCult peers have their 15 minutes of fame.

5) One entry per member. Don't start another profile to enter a second image, because we know how to check for that sort of thing and we'll delete both entries if we catch anyone resorting to such shady practices.

5) Judging. June 1, Billdozer and I will pick our 10 favorite photos from all entries received and let ChopCult members vote in a poll. Members will have until June 15 to select their favorite. The top three vote-getters will win the following gift certificates from No School Choppers:

First Place: $125

Second Place: $75

Third Place: $50

These gift certificates are redeemable for anything No School Choppers make or sells. All three winners will also receive a ChopCult t-shirt and sticker grab bag.

It wouldn't be a ChopCult feature without some cheesy photos of our own, so enjoy these outtakes from shoots gone by. None of these would win any awards, but something you shot may very well win some free booty from No School. Good luck, have fun, and thanks for participating in the contest.
