So here we have a thread to discuss all you want about our monthly photo contests. Ideas, suggestions, tips, chit chat....whining about the rules etc. If you have any concern or questions, let this thread be your sounding board.

One point i would like to make is that if you are not participating in the contests at all, there isnt much point in complaining about anything. I cant hear you if you are outside of the room.

Discuss....

one idea i had in mind was to make the monthly winner pick and choose top three photos submitted from next month's contest and then put them up for voting...so you only vote for three top picks by last month's winner.

why everyone is in sleeper mode. we just have two submissions so far.......turns out the crowd is shy here....or something else is up? send me themmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm photos

No, I rather see the entire entries. Doesn't make sense just voting for 3 submissions. Look at it this way. What if the winner also submit his in the following contest, so he picks his to be the top 3 and pick 2 other "not as worthy" entries to go up against his. Does that make sense?

all entries can be posted for everyone to see....but the past winner will pick up the best three of his/her choice for voting. it works....here is an example on 8th civic and plz vote for me....haha

So, you're saying everbody gets to vote for all the entries, but the past winner will pick the 3 entries that he/she likes the best? I dunno, I'm still lost. Then what's the sense of voting in the first place? Why not just get to picking the 3?

was the topic too difficult? i thought it was cool but now.... not so much. it is requiring a lot of thought for me personally. i wanted it to have anything to do with time...a moment in time, time of day or year, time of your life, etc. sorry to have picked a subject that didnt do anything.

xray

It's not too bad. Just a thought provoking subject. Mine hasn't been clicking yet.

I honestly find it a bit of an inconvenience to send the pictures in for them to be looked at then posted. I would much rather just post it up like previous months. And yes I realize I do not actively participate in the photo contests but I have my reasons. But some of the time I am the one submitting Mike's photos for him while he is at work.

cerise...if you can please explain to me what is the inconvenience in sending the photo for the contest? you would do it otherwise in an outside competition dont you think.

xray

I guess we'll let the facts speak to see if we lose interest of people by having to submit their photos. Me, I don't mind.

szuberi

those who think they dont wanna participate just cuz they have to submit their photo to someone may not participate then. i mean....i wanna know too what is the issue? time can not be the issue...cuz it takes a second to send the link through PM. to me, its more exciting to wait and see whats up for competition.

xray

I rather do it the way you have set up, but I think the majority of the ppl want to see it set up the old way. I guess it's the "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" so to speak.
