Photo Contest

Where does it say when the judging will take place? Somewhere in 'Extras'? October 31? Will there be an announcement? The Newsletter? Dumb question?

In the initial thread: http://davesgarden.com/t/393562/

The cutoff date is October 31st. After October 31st, the judging will begin. At that time, I will post a new thread to describe how to do the judging (all members are judges).

Don't forget. No voting for yourself. :)

LOL golddog, I would think that if you had entered and truly felt that your entry was worthy it would be hypocritical not to vote on yourself ;~) The real challange is going to be selecting a single entry in each category when we have so many really fantastically talanted people here.

Isn't there a first, second, third and consolation sort of thing for each category?

I don't know how Dave has it set up. I am looking forward to seeing this new contest program in action almost as much as seeing the entries. I actually was hoping the whole contest was open to non subscribers too just to add some additional input but I guess that would have been a whole can of worms.

Ulrich, here are the past contests.

I have perused most of the categories and photos now. What surprises me is that so many of the outstanding photos I have seen posted this past year are NOT in the contests.

There are many outstanding photos entered by some among us who have photography in their blood, but so many really wonderful photos by people who do not consider themselves photographers are missing.

Maybe next year we could gave a category where we can nominate someone else's photo?

What say, Dave?

Great idea about nominating, Darius!

It would be fun, but somehow the image has to be copied into the contest itself. I'll have to give it some thought.

I certainly agree - we've seen some beautiful photos here this year that were not entered in the contest!!

Agreed - I can think of one picture that was so stunning I went back many times to enjoy. I actually LOOKED for it in the contest and it wasn't there! :(
