Photo Comp - should it stay, or should it go?

[irongirlof12]

I think a monthly photo comp is a really good idea. I think it would be a shame to drop it now. I love seeing everyones photos. I think a poll would be a great idea, too.

I'll 2nd that

Maybe the winner could 'host' the next months comp?

I've only just found the competition as I'm still a bit new to all this. I think its fantastic and thanks go out to all who have hosted it.

It would be a great shame to see it go but I think a monthly comp with a poll vote would be a good idea.

(And it was thanks to the competition that I found out how to post pictures!!)

I've loved looking at everyone photos and although I didn't enter too much (not enough pics and trips!) I think its been a fun thing to have. I agree with what everyone is saying, it would be nice if it stayed maybe once a fortnight or month with a poll vote would be great.

Thanks for having set it up and organised it for all these months

I used to enter the Photo Comp on the Photography Forum. I had some issues with the poll voting system and that was possibly what prompted me to start our own competition. I'm guessing, though, that the public voting system we have here might put some off.

Whilst my reservations over poll voting remain, it is a much more simple solution, so I'm going to give that a go for a few weeks and see how it works out. I think we'll need to limit to one entry per week, per poster.

I'm also going to drop the separate threads for Entries and Discussion. If it gets untidy, we can re-visit.

Thanks for your input. We'll have another brainstorming session in a couple of weeks .

Deb, do we still need to vote in the previous weeks competition to allow the entry into the current week?? I always do, but just want to see if this rule still stands.

Well, I'd like to think that people will take the time to do it, especially as it will be both easier and anonymous, but there's no way to police it, so it'll no longer be an entry requirement.

I will vote even if I didn't have an entry with the poll vote (I do on the photography board), hopefully I will have loads of photos when I get back.
