Silly question but... is there any reason why I can't see the photos being submitted? Is this by design?
Announcing the 5th annual DG Photo Contest!
.. Equil ...
Yep, by 'design'.
The entries aren't available to 'view' .. until Dave determines & announces the end of the submission/acceptance period ... Then, everyone is allowed & prompted to view ALL the submitted pics, and to begin voting ...

What an exciting contest this year - so many entries already! I can't wait :)

lol Carrie! I was thinking the same thing. You'd be amazed at how many people don't remember how many days are in each month - even Science wizards, doctors, etc.......
There are already over 3,000 entries !!! It's unbelievable :) Unless of course, my calculator is broken ;)
Dea
.. LOL .. Dea .. !!
You jes HAD to go sayin' such, 'ey? ..
Now, the rest of us are gonna be doing the same dang'd thing. (Hee) ..
I went and counted the tally also ... But, I came up with a mere 1,991 entries .. @ 8:08 PM Central time, that is !! ..

Hi Dave,
If it's not too late, Under the "Miscellaneous" judging category, I'd like to suggest adding:
Most Original
Ha Magpye.....but it was fun to make ya count :) Yup, now I'll be tallying them up all the time - lol !!
Dea
I added "Most Original" as a judging category under Misc.
best,
dave
GREAT!! Thanks Dave! :-)
Happily :)
Hi! I was wondering where I put Tulips, Daffodils, etc.?
=^..^=
I was wondering the same thing Susan. There is no spring bulb category. Miscellaneous has a flower category, and there is Seasons, but they just didn't seem to fit. We need a Spring Bulb category. *grin
How about a general "Flowers" category?
That sounds like a great, all-encompassing idea, Dave!
RG
Will the already posted pics of flowers in the miscellaneous be moved over or will we need to resend these?
Resend them.
Good! The "flowers" category sounds like the place for one or two of my best African Violet pictures... The AV forum probably isn't big enough to have its own photo category! :-)
Where is general "Flowers" category?
Kaleem
A little more than halfway down the list, called "Flowers in general"
.. Kaleem ..
Dave has added a new category, called Flowers in general on the main list .. and .. under the Miscellaneous category: there will a 'category for judging'.
So, my totally uneducated guess is .. that one can place/submit flower pics in either, or both categories .. if the photos don't qualify elsewhere.
Also .. Just in case > http://davesgarden.com/contest/2005/

Thank you , actually list is not Alphabetical, so have not seen that.
Kaleem
Allow me to suggest :
Flowers in General
categories for judging
Best Overall
Best Closeup
Best Combination
Best Mixed Planting
Best Public Garden
Smashing - thanks! I've added 'em.

dave, I'm amazed you aren't pulling your hair out, lol.
Not at all - this is a joy. :)
Thanks Dave!
woodspirit: I thought the same thing. We should have before and after pictures of Dave: with hair and without!
Maybe that could be another category. :-)
Did you see the picture of him with Love in Mist for hair? Or was it Love Lies Bleeding? Dave, can you repost that here?
No, we'll keep the fun pictures in their respective threads. Feel free to link to that thread, however.
dave
You aren't balding are you??? LOL
;)
How about ugliest plant, flower and pet?
Come on they ain't all beauties! lol
Ric
Great suggestion, Ric! I like "ugliest bug" too...
How do you select the sub category (or category for judging)? I submitted a couple of pictures in one category and did not see any way to select the sub category that the picture would fit into. Is that decided for us or am I missing something?
Ann
The judges do that when we vote!
OK! ;-)
I'd like to have a try for fun, but my silly DC is up to 400 pixels wide at most. Anyhow I have submitted one of my pictures to the T-shirt category.
Since we are still adding categories, I think I'm going to wait before re-posting some of my photos. I want to know for sure what all the final categories are going to be before posting. This computer is real slow - so is the internet connection, so I don't want to spend a whole lotta time doing it until I know.
