Monthly Photocontest: help us understand.
« on: September 26, 2011, 15:05:17 »
A few months ago when we thought about launching the photocotest, we decided to make a poll first to know how much interest there was about it.
Out of 30 voters, 25 said they wanted a contest and that they would participate. 25!

Since it started in march only 9 members were part of it, and only 4 of them were consistent every month. So something is wrong.
This is not like running a nuclear station, but it does take the organizing team a lot of time, work and effort behind the curtains, to make it happen.

So we need to understand what's wrong with it to make it better, if it is possible.

Please answer the poll honestly.

Thanks everyone for the cooperation.  :wave:

In "I would participate if there was a real price", I think it's supposed to mean prize?

If I had more able free time (free time when it's sunny outside), and if the theme was ok for me, I would participate.

I never know when the dates are or what the themes are. The info is usually in different places and I don't have the time/don't remember to go hunting through for it.

But I don't know where this info could go :-\ Perhaps on the banner on the index page :-\

Oh, and I don't get much time now anyway :-[ (I think this might be the case for most people)

Because I am still sorting my Playmobil collection, I am not in a position to put together photo scenes yet. Hopefully soon :)

Same here. Lack of time. I can hardly cope with my other projects, I'm late on all my schedules!

no one said there will be a prize. it is just a question to know if that would change things around. Does not mean we'll change that to have more people being part of the contest.

I can understand time can be an issue sometimes.

Damo you have a good point reagrding the info.

I don't think that's true or fair for you to say Alex... you claim you don't have a cam, you can't upload pics, so even if there WAS a prize you won't be part of the contest.

Please constructive answer guys! Thank you!  :wave:
