I will be taking over the photography contests hopefully in a day or two once I figure out how they were run.

If there is anything someone would like to comment on for now, this would be a good place to discuss some related issues.

So, thanks in advance for your patience and assistance.

Maybe post the rules again at the beginning of the contests so the newer members will have some guidelines to go by. After participating for a while it is easy to forget that there are a large number who don't know the basics of the contests.

Oh yeah don't forget to mention the new Corvette the winner doesn't get, or the envelope of cash and huge gift certificate for new camera equipment that is in the glovebox.

I have edited one set of rules and posted in a new sticky: Rules, Links and Info to Monthly Contests

There was some confusion for me and I tried to correct it, hopefully it has made thing a bit clearer and hopefully, hope I did not make things worse.

I have some other issues I want to discuss, probably in this thread.

Suggestions are appreciated.!

Basically three days.

But this should be discussed in this thread: Photography Contests - Overall Discussions So, this message is being "copied" to that thread to possibly discuss what we want in this contests. I have foundsome issues to be confusing for me.

Will you be starting a thread for a "September in your home state" contest? I'm hoping that I might actually get a semi-decent photo or two later this month when we go on vacation; even though I realize that novices don't stand much of a chance with all the pros here, it's still fun to give it a try when I get a rare lucky shot.

Perhaps for the theme contests, we could know the subject two months in advance so there is no lag time.
