You can stop sending me entries for the Photo Mode now as the competition is now closed! We're currently playing around with a few ways to show off the best entries and then let you all vote on which one you think is the best; stay tuned for an update about this later today or tomorrow along with the new competition submissions process - if you've not got a Flickr account yet I'd start by setting one up.

Taking the place of the Photo Mode is a new Customisation Competition. For this one we're giving you a total open forum to show-off whatever car you want be it a BMW, Nissan or whatever. So long as it looks cool it's got a chance. When you're sending in your entries make sure you've downloaded the photo from the Photo Mode MyNFS page here at NeedforSpeed.com as we've had a couple of entries which were stunning but Photoshopped. Also; take some time to think about the composition of the shot; one of the reasons MiriV won in the original competition was the way he'd positioned the car in the docks making for a very cool shot indeed.

The competition is open to anyone however if you live outside of the US or Canada you're not eligible to win the prize of a Console unfortunately. To stay up-to-date with the competition news you can check the new Community Events calendar and listen to our weekly podcast - you can find links to both in the Community tab into the top of the page.
