Gauging Interest In Photo Contest

[143gadgets]

I figured we are about due for a new photo contest. Since there are so many new LPS coming in (not just lords :)) I figured we could have one that was LPS based.

The winner would receive a few polyps of Aussie lords from me ;)


Let's get this going!!! How many of you would be interested in participating?

I'm down for a photo contest. :D I'll probably lose, but I'm still down! What are the rules?

 

[143gadgets]

AWESOME Rev!!

Vince, I am not sure on all the details yet. If we get enough people interested and I'm sure we will. I'll get with the other mods and we will post the details.

Will try, but probably little chance of winning. Will be fun to enter though!

cool ...everyone loves prizes...;)

sounds good.

i think it would be tough to divide categories based on cameras. cuz i know there are alot of point and shoot cameras out there that cost more than a basic SLR, and you can also buy lenses for them (the point and shoots) too depending on the model and type.

 

[143gadgets]

Come on guys I know more of you have cameras! Don't be discouraged.

 

[pookstreet]

I'll play in the point and shoot category :D

I think another contest is a wonderful idea.

For several reasons, I would recommend that the images be e-mailed in and not posted for advance viewing. Unveil all images at the same time at the start of voting.

My two cents for what they’re worth.

 

[143gadgets]

Alright. I think that the contest is a go. I have one final question. I am leaning towards having just one group. If we decide to do multiple groups are we going to do multiple prizes? I don't have enough aussies to do two winners. :)

 

[revhtree]

I think one group as well for now would be best. Maybe a sponsor will step up and give way a frag or two?? :D Maybe for second place. And I will give away a premium membership for 3rd and 4th place for a year.

 

[revhtree]

Well lets try this then...

This month lets do one category, the next another? So we could do 6megs and up and 5 megs and down or what do you think?

 

[143gadgets]

Sounds good. I'll have all of the people email the photographs to me. For this month we will only accept photos from point and shoot cameras. NO SLRs. That way we can have another contest with SLRS at a later date and this will be fair to everyone. What do you all think. i am totally open to suggestions. i just want to make it fair.

Requirements

1. Point and shoot camera (No limitation on megapixels )
2. Must be emailed by ? (When do we want to start and end this?)
3. Please submit photo at 800x600 resolution
4. Must be LPS
5. Pic must be taken by the person submitting it

That's all I can think of for now. I had a long day. too tired to come up with more right now. Any other suggestions?
