What i need you to do:
=> Tell me which form of judging you prefer more
getting other members to vote or getting a panel of judges to judge the photos
=> Tell me which type of prizing do you prefer :
Gold or Items
=> Too many categories? Should several categories be made into one general one?
=> Any another questions or queries you may have to be posted in this here thread. please dont PM me. ill get to you ASAP on this thread.


As I have not been in many of these, I'm not sure which judging I prefer. As for the type of prize, I personally prefer gold, as I am always questing something. smile

Questions:
1) What is "Conceptual"?



Other than that, sounds like a great contest! I can't wait to get started!

Conceptual is :
[ deviant art definition ] Photography where the identifiable subject is not the primary emphasis of the work, but rather the cryptic or interpretive meaning found in the composition of the photo.

i hope that helps!!

What about a floral/plants category?
And also, if a photograph fits in more than one category should we PM it to you for category placement, or just enter it in both?
This competition sounds like fun, I've always liked summeryish photography!

yeah a flower/plants category would be great

everyone takes pictures of flowers it would be great to see different people taking pictures of flowers and showing thier unique style.

whaaat?!
i didnt put a flower/plants category in!?
GAH i thought i did.
crycry
oh right!! thats why, i put a MACRO category [ thats like uberclose ups. ] and i thought plants would go in there.
oh lol,
never mind. ill put one in.
^^
and if a photo counts for many categories, you could put it in all of them, but that would be several entries gone on one shot. i reccomend to take LOADS of photos this summer and worry about entering later.

Well, I personally thought plants could go in either Macro or Still Life, depending on the shot.

i'm thinking that patterns and textures could easily be made into one category, depending on how many entries there are. if there are lots, keep 'em seperate. if there are only a few, conglomerate them. just a thought.

Nice, nice : )

This should be a fun comp!

I think you've kinda already decided but I think I'd prefer a panel of judge to pick the winner than public vote : )

I don't think you should have toooo many categories! A variety is lovely, but I think you should make the categories 'subjects' rather than 'techniques' : ) Encourage people to interpret the subject in their own way!

But that's my opinion : D

More categories mean more people can win n__n <3

Textures and patterns should probably be combined into one, they're both pretty similar xD

And it's winter for me : ( So is that okay? xD
