Calling out Photographers...

I was thinking today, for a little bit of fun, would anyone be interested in a monthly competition, nothing too serious, no prizes just each month we set a theme, decided by the previous months winner and all submit photo's in a thread. Then at the end of the month open a poll and have people vote on which one they prefer, and offer some constructive critique. Then the winner decides the next theme for the month, and so it continues.

Always up for an excuse to get out the camera, and sure I'm not the only on. If I set this up would there be much interest in this?

So by example I would set the first theme, buildings for example. People then all submit their pictures to the thread, doesn't have to be new ones it can be old ones they've taken. At the end of this month, I open a poll and people vote, the winner decides the next one.

Who's in?

Adam :)

Heck yes, count me in! My camera is getting dusty lately, not getting much work.

Makes me wish i had a camera, but I'm saving up...
This contest had better still be alive when i get one!

*raises hand* I would do it!

I'm in...

Zomfg, I need a tripod.

I need a tripod ,too .I'm in.

Cool. Given the time I will arrange something from the start of April then for that month :)

Sure, I'll join in. I don't have a high-powered camera (but I do have a tripod now), but once in a while it takes a decent shot :)

Hey most people can take good shots with normal digital cameras.

Actually, we still have a couple of weeks so will update now and create a new topic for March photo of the month competition :D

Keep your eyes peeled :D

My 100$ digital camera takes great photos when you get the picture steady.

That is a really good idea !

I would love to dust off my camera.

Somebody PM Shift, too. Nevermind, I'll do it.

okay, get your entries in guys :D

Just for clarification, does it need to have been taken in the month of the competition? I'm assuming so, but just want to be sure.

Will there be a category for edited and unedited photos or will they be lumped together.

One entry per person?

I'm interested in how much editing is allowed, as well. I'm assuming the less the better, of course, but two categories is a good idea methinks!

Edit: Read the thread. :oops:

I think as much as the user wants. Pictures heavily edited wont appeal to everyone, but natural ones wont either.

I don't think it should be taken in the month, I think old photo's are allowed. It's about showing off nice photo's too :)

No category for edited and unedited, just all in the same pot :)

And one entry per person :)

Sounds good! :)
