Hey, I have a question about the category E: If we make something like the Audi Quattro or the BMW M3 as mentionned in the inspiration, we need to make the stock version or the race version with livery?

Youāre making the full-on race car for Category E.

Are we allowed to add wheelspin effect via photo editing? I know thereās a āwheel blurā function in photo mode just for that, but for some reason it bugged out for me and chooses to add blur only to front wheels or sometimes doesnāt add blur at all.

Yes, if you want to do that, go right ahead.

Can we submit the same picture to, letās say, category A and X? E.g. a picture that showcases a car very well, but also tells a story?
I didnĀ“t look properly and thought the deadline was this month and sent my pictures in without really being done, I sent five I think, is there any way to remove them and let me redo them properly?
I donāt think deleting and reposting your query will make him answer any faster mate. Be patient, heāll come around here some time. If it even is allowed you still have nearly a month to submit your revision.

I canāt think of a reason not to; hopefully whatever picture you submit in the non-X category doesnāt take away too much from your showcasing your car, which is the most important part of those shots.
I am going to have to test something in the pre-judging app first; I will get back to you.
I didnĀ“t think I had posted it in the right place and got very confused, IĀ“m not stressed, IĀ“m just a little confused sometimesā¦

Thank you! The pictures are really bad in hindsight and I just donĀ“t think I should have sent them, looking as poor as they do.

I want to make an E category car and since itās a race car the respective year for production cars doesnāt have some of the revolutionary components used by race cars. Since the mechanical aspect isnāt judged are we allowed to use a later year to use later materials and components than the designated period?

Itās preferable to keep all of that within the category years.

Does this also include category X? It kinda relates to how much of an āadā we should be making, ie: are we supposed to create an actual car ad, with text, multiple (automation made) images, and whatnot, or do you just mean an artistic photography shot?
Category X can basically be anything you want - it can be a car ad, a movie poster, design sketchbook for an Automation car, whatever!
Photoshopping in this category is going to be quite a bit more permissive for obvious reasons, but the rule of ādonāt use copyrighted materialā still applies.

jk. Iām glad Shiny will be part of judges lineup. Heās partially the reason why Iāve fallen in love with Automation.
