Photo Contest-Ideas Thread

Yay, finally some initiative for a photo contest! Fun times ahead!

 

we could create a cool badge for below you name as the prize. It could rotate monthly and link to the winning picture.

This way we wouldn't need to hunt for prizes every month (It's a lot of work)

:thumbs_up I like!!

 

good idea Jmck!

 

How bout we each send the winner 5 bucks? haha...I like the badge idea too...

 

OOOh I like this, we are getting interesting. Now is this contest based on the ability one has for photography or their tank? How come there was no reef theme? I like the badge as well, it's a fantastic idea. I myself would do the contest....lets have some fun, isn't that what our tanks are for!

 

i was also thinkin maybe a section for noobs maybe a progress section or somethin of that nature

 

Am curious as to format...each participant submits one photo per catagory per month?...

How to judge?...I think whoever is managing the contest should find an independent "judge" --- Maybe get an "expert" - i.e. Anthony Calfo? To make decision for us...

Another idea is get "volunteer" from a "expert photography" forum to judge pics for us...

Just a thought.

(am assuming we don't have any professional photographers among us)

 

me likes too !

great idea J

 

"Historically", we've had members pick the best photo by vote. I'm pretty sure that this format will be used for this and future contests as well. Let me dig up the last contest we had and post a link. This contest is for everybody, regardless of skills or length of time in the hobby. I'll add the reef theme to the poll as requested by nemo I'll have to bounce the "noob/progress" idea around my brain for a bit to figure out how to work that if possible Thanks for the input everyone!
