  • Wanna Be on the April Cover of the AC?

    Greetings Everyone:

    Wanna be on the April Cover of the Authentic Campaigner? We are looking for images that best-exemplify the look of the authentic living historian. Images taken with period technology only are required (wet plate, pencil drawing, field sketches, etc.) If you have submitted an image within the last year, please refrain from submitting. Let's give a chance to those who haven't previously submitted. Thank you.

    Submission Guidelines:

    1) We will accept the first ten image submissions only. The thread will be closed after the tenth image is submitted, and any images submitted after the tenth will be deleted from the thread.

    2) Once we have ten images, the staff will select the final three. The final three will then be put up for a general vote to the membership of the forum. The winning image will be placed on the front "cover" of the web site for one month.

    3) Make sure and attach the photo to your post. If necessary, we will crop the photo for the best fit.

    4) The Moderators/Administrators reserve the right to remove any submittals that they feel don't meet the standards of the Authentic Campaigner.

    Now, let's see your best images!

                  My impression is of a western theater mid to late war confederate. I am always working on my impression but hope that this is up to par with the Ac.Foto was made by Wendell Decker

                            All right... and that is Image #10. Thanks to everyone who submitted. We will now narrow the field down to the final three and the general vote should be up in about four days. This thread is officially closed.
