Who's up for a weekly photo contest?
« on: January 09, 2010, 04:24:07 pm »
Just for fun, no prizes  :smiley:

blatantly taken from another forum, but its a really good concept:

Rules:

* One entry per person, if you wish to change your entry please edit your original post.
* Photos taken for this challenge only, i.e. taken after the challenge has been posted, are eligible. This can be checked. PLEASE NOTE THIS RULE
* 'Photoshopping' should be limited to B&W conversions, cropping, levels, contrast, etc, etc.
* Entries in by a weekly deadline to be set
* Try to keep images no more than 800 pixels wide.
* This goes for pictures that don't meet the rules too.
* If your entry is 'not work safe', please link it with [url] tags, not [img] tags please.


Voting:

* You need to enter to vote.
* Voting will be from a Midnight to a Midnight on a decided day each week such as monday-tuesday . please make the effort to return and place your vote.
* After the deadline please post the username of your favourite photo and a brief description why.
* Your vote should be based on the use of the challenge theme.
* In the event of a tie, the earliest entry will be deemed the winner.
* The winner will choose the next challenge.


2 threads each week, one for discussion and one for photo entries only  :smiley:

might prove a good way to harvest photo's for the forum calender etc although images dont have to always be car related - thats down to the person taking them, you dont need to be a pro with a pro camera either as sometimes its as much about the idea of the images as it is the actual shot

that weeks winner will choose a word or theme for the next week and the entrant interprets it how you see fit

what do we think?  :smiley:

I've seen it on many other forums, but unfortunately, I always end up bored of them. Who knows, maybe the topics on here might be more interesting.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

every fortnight could be done sure :smiley:

i know its failed on some forums, but thats down to interested people actually taking part. if enough people fancy it, not that you have to enter everytime, then it can be a really nice addition to this forum imho

theres enough people on here who take photo's regularly to focus them into an area with a bit of direction imho

this is only an idea, but its seems to be positively welcomed so far  :drinking:

and hedge dude, youve definately got the talent to play  :happy2:

Its a great idea VC i have been meaning to give  photography its own section for ages instead of just a child board, and i was going to start a monthly comp but as usual lazyitess got the better of me.   :pomppomp:

I will definitely be entering i love photo's especially of my fav model of car.   :party: :party: :party:

Sounds like a fantastic idea to me.

Who will be choosing the first challenge then?  :innocent:

i think everyone should be able to vote not just people who have entered...i like taking pics but wont always be able to enter and would like to vote, if only 3 people enter one week its going to be difficult judging!
