Tea8 Loc: Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.

Note taken into consideration. And if you would like a further answer on this go back and reread the whole thread I think you will find the answer.

Tea8 Loc: Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.

I would just like everyone to know that I have now closed the entry part of the contest. I am very pleased that I was able to keep taking entries after the massive amount we got within the first couple of days. I am sorry I did have to close the contest off early, but I will leave voting open through the 21st like I had originally said. I think this will give everyone the opportunity to look over all the photos and vote for their favorite. So please go vote!

Was there any reason why the deadline of 4/18/12 changed. I thought I had until the 18th to submit. Maybe next time I will submit as soon as I see it posted.

I did not know that I had to limit the amount of entries when I started the contest. I was told by Admin I had to limit the number of entries so I didn't go over the limit the system is capable of handling. I do apologize for this, but I also want to be able to host contests in the future so I am following orders by Admin. I do plan to host contests in the future with different time amounts and rules, so you should have a chance in the future to enter.

I agree

I agree. The contests are not mandatory, like any contest you read the rules and either enter or don't. I joined the group recently hoping it would be a friendly discussion if photo ideas and help.I see a lot of nit picking like in here about the contest. I hope to enter this one and will abide by rules even if I have to out and shoot in both modes.

Tea8, congrats on the new contest.
I have a suggestion about rules, as it would level the playing field.
The "Photographic Society of America"(PSA), which governs member clubs all over the US and the world, has guidelines in place for the genre of Nature(wildlife).
You may view that hose guideline as follows:
Go to the Photographic Society of America website.
Just to the right and below the logo, click on "divisions".
On the list on the left, click on "nature".
Scroll down below the picture of the division chair and click on "Division information".
Then click on bullet, "Definition of Nature Photography".
Afterward, I also suggest a look at the bullet below it, "code of practice".

Tea8, those rules are accepted for nature contest all over world. It's an easy way to answer any question or personal philosophy that comes up, without you having to make personal calls, that then make you the bad guy playing to some but not others.
Nature is a lot like journalism, as some PP is allowed, but not a lot.
Please give this some consideration. And maybe someone much smarter than me can post a direct link, if it's something you can use. Good luck. ;-)

...and is it just some bizarre coincidence that St3v3M's latest contest is themed "Wildlife?" hmmm...

Well I will keep this in mind if I ever decide to have a new contest. Since this one was over almost two years ago now it's a little late, but St3v3M may like to know since he now runs the contests and has chosen Wildlife for this weeks contest.
