so when will the test contest begin? hehe
look forward and hope this way will work with every one  :blackhair:

there is one contest on the go.
the final day to send pics is October 24th.
the theme is COLOR, meaning that 90% of the things in the pic must be the same color.

after that we'll start with the new system.

I think a sub-board in the Photography section would be the way to go. It would give a place to keep all the threads together and put it in a related area where people who take photos are often looking.

For contest naming I think you should go with a number and year combo. Contest 4 of 2011, or the Fourth 2011 Contest. You can then start your numbering over the next calendar year.

I also would suggest one locked sticky thread whose only post would be a list of that entire year's contests and deadlines

2012
Contest 1 - deadline January 16 - theme Blahblah
Contest 2 - deadline February 27 - theme not yet chosen

etc. Then after a contest deadline is closed a mod changes the listing from the deadline date to the word closed, and after there is a winner that info is posted as a result on the same line. That way everyone can tell exactly where you are at as far as upcoming deadlines, chosen themes, and what needs to be decided on next.

That is an extremely useful suggestion, Tim! I like the idea of a thread showing all the dates for the year. And I like the idea of a sub board, too. We do seem to be adding a lot of boards lately, but then again, there is a lot more traffic on this forum now, so maybe it makes sense that we have more boards with so many active members now.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Lots of my Playmo stored away and too much to displace to reach several things, plus a very unreliable camera... those are my reasons for not participating sofar...
