[smut1962]

Hi folks, raher new here and just wondering if there will be a competition for March and when its likely to be announced?
Many thanks, and sorry if this is a question that has to be answered each month!

Well if there is, I hope more people decide to vote- the amount that did was a little bit disappointing.

Well ... I'm new here but willing to vote (and enter) if there is one!

I found it more than a little intimidating knowing what and who I would be up against!!
I am sure a more informal approach would succeed,many people are reluctant to post in the Gallery,let alone enter a competition even though their standard is high, take Turtletaggers pics. for instance.Entry for a monthly Theme may be the way to go initially make it a gradual build up to increase peoples confidence their work is very good it is just the confidence they lack

How about a competition for Compact Digital Cameras only? From what I have seen they don't hold a candle to the DSLRs. Might bring in a few more competitors. Would need to show the EXIF?

I'd agree with a compact/non-SLR category. Even though I've got a DSLR I used to take all my piccies with a Fujifilm A203. One example being my avatar.

fair enough if we have a category for each....?

I agree with your idea for non DSLR competition but would emphasise that we need more voters for the competition to make it viable. Last months votes were a little disappointing. Don't know whether its possible or not but could we not give the non members the opportunity to vote. I know non members only get access to photos if they register as members but could we not make an exception for the competition, so as to showcase the efforts of those who participate as much as possible?

If memory serves me there were a couple of requests on the forum as to where to vote.
