Just for fun, no prizes :smiley:
blatantly taken from another forum, but its a really good concept:
Rules:
* One entry per person, if you wish to change your entry please edit your original post.
* Photos taken for this challenge only, i.e. taken after the challenge has been posted, are eligible. This can be checked. PLEASE NOTE THIS RULE
* 'Photoshopping' should be limited to B&W conversions, cropping, levels, contrast, etc, etc.
* Entries in by a weekly deadline to be set
* Try to keep images no more than 800 pixels wide.
* This goes for pictures that don't meet the rules too.
* If your entry is 'not work safe', please link it with [url] tags, not [img] tags please.
Voting:
* You need to enter to vote.
* Voting will be from a Midnight to a Midnight on a decided day each week such as monday-tuesday . please make the effort to return and place your vote.
* After the deadline please post the username of your favourite photo and a brief description why.
* Your vote should be based on the use of the challenge theme.
* In the event of a tie, the earliest entry will be deemed the winner.
* The winner will choose the next challenge.
2 threads each week, one for discussion and one for photo entries only :smiley:
might prove a good way to harvest photo's for the forum calender etc although images dont have to always be car related - thats down to the person taking them, you dont need to be a pro with a pro camera either as sometimes its as much about the idea of the images as it is the actual shot
that weeks winner will choose a word or theme for the next week and the entrant interprets it how you see fit
what do we think? :smiley:
-
I think it is a good idea VC :wink:
-
Great idea VC. :happy2:
-
sounds fun better clean the car tomorrow then!! :laugh:
-
great idea. a site i used to be on used to do the same
-
sounds good mate, im in. :happy2:
-
I've seen it on many other forums, but unfortunately, I always end up bored of them. Who knows, maybe the topics on here might be more interesting.

you're a proper little ray of sunshine arent you dude...someone need a hug? :love: :grin:
-
I like the sound of this but would prefer it if it were 2 weekly. :smiley:
-
every fortnight could be done sure :smiley:
i know its failed on some forums, but thats down to interested people actually taking part. if enough people fancy it, not that you have to enter everytime, then it can be a really nice addition to this forum imho
theres enough people on here who take photo's regularly to focus them into an area with a bit of direction imho
this is only an idea, but its seems to be positively welcomed so far :drinking:
and hedge dude, youve definately got the talent to play :happy2:
-
Its a great idea VC i have been meaning to give photography its own section for ages instead of just a child board, and i was going to start a monthly comp but as usual lazyitess got the better of me. :pomppomp:
I will definitely be entering i love photo's especially of my fav model of car. :party: :party: :party:
Bring it on (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Ftomashandmilly%2FDaft_stuff%2F365F145F13.gif&hash=1584cab91f6deae81d331daa36eefd9a4d64e908)
-
Sounds like a fantastic idea to me.
Who will be choosing the first challenge then? :innocent:

and hedge dude, youve definately got the talent to play :happy2:
Cheers VC :ashamed: :love:
-
I'm defo up for this too
-
i think everyone should be able to vote not just people who have entered...i like taking pics but wont always be able to enter and would like to vote, if only 3 people enter one week its going to be difficult judging!
-
Defo up for this:-
1) Everyone should be able to vote
2) Every 2 weeks or longer - shorter would lose peoples interest IMO.
-
some point's i'll put out there:
- the reason i was suggesting that you had to enter to be able to vote is purely to give people incentive to actually take part :smiley:
theres alot of would be critics and lurkers and people would need the time to vote so would take ages between each topic/competition otherwise if we were to avoid comments like "i didnt get time to vote, or i missed the opportunity etc etc"
so in essence the people who enter are rewarded with a vote, those that dont submit simply get to lurk and discuss on the thread
its a case of pleasing most of the people most of the time, although if its what tha majority want then thats what we'll do, although ive seen photo comps die a death for this very method of voting for all being used :fighting2:
- 2 weeks between comps is cool, makes no odds and does give people more time :happy2:
so running the risk of too many cooks etc.... are we cool with the above or shall i shutup and start it :laugh:
happy to keep discussing it if needed though, dont want to tread on anyones toes... and am happy to be overruled on the post to vote ruling :happy2:
-
I think we should have a vote to see about the "post to vote" thing but you can only vote if you've posted in this thread...... :confused:
Whatever you say VC I'm happy.
We may need to tweak things to fit but lets just get it started and see how we fare. :happy2:
-
I like your idea VC but I agree with Hedge. Perhaps a two or three day vote should be held on whether only those contributing should be allowed to vote or whether anyone can vote.
I think thats democratic :booty:
Then we can start with you coming up with the first idea. And tweak it from there... I will make it sticky as well so that it doesnt go missing and when we start a new month unsticky the old one and sticky the new one.
Mike
-
cool your the mod dude so makes sense for you to sit at the head of the table :happy2:
i'm merely throwing the ideas out until we hit something :smiley:
do you want to start some polls then(frequency and post to vote options)? i do think there should be 2 threads though, one just for the photos and one for discussions :happy2:
-
Alrighty.
So:
How about a child board specifically for the competitions in the photography section?
There I will sticky the actual competition thread where people can post their pics and keep it clean of conversation. And then create a thread for comments so that people can comment? Sticky both and after three or two weeks (depending on how long the competition should run for) then unsticky them both and sticky the new competition.
How does that sound? I may be the mod but its majority vote and everyones thoughts count.

sounds good to me :happy2:

I was only joking. :smiley:
Personally I think we should kick it off and see how it sits.
-
Cool. Will email Mr TC and ask him for a child section... Then will get the poll up and running and let it run once the child section is up.
Some developments :happy2:

Not my bag. :surprised:
Each to their own as they say. :laugh:

Ok chaps and chapetts i have set up a separate photography section, not just for the competition, we needed one i feel any way.
My thoughts on the competition are that it should be a monthly one and kept pretty simple. Maybe a topic were we all post our entry's and let people comment if they wish, then once the closing date has been reached a separate thread started with just the entries and a voting option.
But these are just my thoughts its up to you VC really as your the one willing to commit your time to do it. :happy2:
-
I'm in.
-
i'm up for this as well.... :happy2:
but is it possible to put a thread up about this is the main section as to be honest i don't browse this area of forum much and maybe other people don't as well and i think you would get a lot more interest as its a good idea....
also i think everyone should be able to vote as there are a lot of people who browse this forum but don't post..... :drinking:
-
Count me in too, this is going to be a good addition to the forum me thinks.
-
OK, I'll start putting the first competion together with a topic to give it focus, details will get posted shortly :happy2:

-

It was your idea, carry it through unrestrained. :notworthy: ( No naked ladies though :laugh: ) Just tell us what you want stickied :happy2:
-
Exactly, I shouldn't be "telling" you anything, just suggesting :ashamed: :happy2:
-
Come now VC. :grin:
You not stepping on anyone's toes here. Im easy with whatever you decide. :drinking:
As Mr TC said. Its your idea and with your imaginative power you can run it. Simply just ask us where you want it stickied etc and we will gladly oblige.
Now where would you like to start?
Thank you TC for giving the Photography section its own section :star:
