Announcing the 5th annual DG Photo Contest!

Silly question but... is there any reason why I can't see the photos being submitted? Is this by design?

NW Qtr, AR(Zone 6a)

.. 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 ...

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.......

Frederick, MD(Zone 6a)

There are already over 3,000 entries !!! It's unbelievable :) Unless of course, my calculator is broken ;)

.. 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

Frederick, MD(Zone 6a)

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,

GREAT!! Thanks Dave! :-)

Happily :)

Bartlesville, OK(Zone 6a)

Hi! I was wondering where I put Tulips, Daffodils, etc.?
=^..^=

Yukon, OK(Zone 7b)

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!

Lindsay, OK(Zone 7a)

Will the already posted pics of flowers in the miscellaneous be moved over or will we need to resend these?

Resend them.

Frederick, MD(Zone 6b)

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! :-)

Mirpur (A.K), Pakistan(Zone 9b)

Where is general "Flowers" category?
Kaleem

Frederick, MD(Zone 6b)

A little more than halfway down the list, called "Flowers in general"

NW Qtr, AR(Zone 6a)

.. 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/

dave, I'm amazed you aren't pulling your hair out, lol.

Not at all - this is a joy. :)

White Lake, ON(Zone 4b)

Thanks Dave!

(Arlene) Southold, NY(Zone 7a)

woodspirit: I thought the same thing. We should have before and after pictures of Dave: with hair and without!

Conroe, TX(Zone 9a)

Maybe that could be another category. :-)

Lake Toxaway, NC(Zone 7a)

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.

You aren't balding are you??? LOL

Cincinnati, OH(Zone 6b)

How about ugliest plant, flower and pet?
Come on they ain't all beauties! lol

Ric

Frederick, MD(Zone 6b)

Great suggestion, Ric! I like "ugliest bug" too...

Ottawa, ON(Zone 5a)

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

Lindsay, OK(Zone 7a)

The judges do that when we vote!

Ottawa, ON(Zone 5a)

OK! ;-)

Shangshui, Henan, China(Zone 7b)

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.

Spokane, WA(Zone 5b)

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.
