It should be appreciated however that the gallery editors cannot be expected to do all of this extra work. It is simply not practical. The photography competition was suggested as a good idea, and it was in the entries, however there was scant votes, and as such it seems to have been shelved. I am all for new ideas but some of the responsibility has to be shared and greater care taken when submitiing entries for review
