Winter Holiday Contest

Journal Entry: Sun Dec 20, 2009, 7:09 AM
Winter Holiday Contest
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! There's a new contest in town. And there IS room for the both of us. So here's the scoop. I want you to take your camera along to all of your holiday celebrations in the coming weeks and take some macro photos. Ham. Turkey. Gravy. Well that last one would be terribly boring... Mistletoe. Holly berries. Ornaments. Lights. If it has to do with the holidays, take a picture of it and when you return home, submit your best one.


Rules
Yes, there have to be rules. I know it sucks. But please follow them. I feel bad when I have to reject submissions because the rules weren't followed.

:pointr: One entry per person
:pointr: Submission must be NEW in your gallery on or after the contest start date (Dec. 20th)
:pointr: Submission must be a macro photograph
:pointr: Submission must be themed to match something to do with a "Winter Holiday". Any submissions featuring only snow/ice will be rejected since snow is not a holiday.
:pointr: Use photo retouching in moderation. Only minor adjustments will be accepted. Things like minor color adjustments, saturation, brightness, contrast, and borders are OK. Any heavily filtered or manipulated photograph will be rejected. The focus here is photography, not Photoshop.
:pointr: You must submit your entry to the Contest: Winter Holiday gallery folder. Entries must be approved before they will show up in the gallery.


Prizes

:bulletgreen: The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will be submitted to the group's featured gallery folder, which displays on the front page.


Timelines
:bulletgreen: Submissions will be open from Dec. 20th until Jan. 31.
:bulletgreen: Voting will begin on Feb. 1. and will end Feb. 12th.

Group Submissions & Favorite Suggestions
Based on the poll, the majority of the club is bothered by the volume of submissions to the Open Member Submissions gallery folder. The last thing I want to do is cause people to leave the group because they find the group an annoyance. So here's the solution I've come up with.

Open Member Submissions gallery folder
I hate to do this, but this folder will be closed for submissions until further notice. I've contacted the help desk to find out if there's anything in the works to make it easier for group members/watchers to manage their devwatch with relation to groups. I'll update as soon as I find something out.

Group Favorite Suggestions
Since the club is all about the members, I still want to allow you guys to submit to the group. Luckily, when you submit a suggestion to the group's favorites, it doesn't notify the group's members or watchers. So starting today, you may submit 2 of your own deviations per week to the group's favorites. This will allow club members to get exposure while helping people keep their devwatches clean. You may submit other people's deviations to the group's favorite in excess of your own 2 per week, but try not to spam me with every photo you see. Pick the best and submit those.


Contest: Winter Holiday
There's a new contest going on, and it's located right here: Winter Holiday Contest.


Contest: Group Avatar
The group avatar contest is still open, but the deadline is fast approaching. Submissions end on Jan. 1, so hurry up. Contest information can be found here: Avatar Contest


Contest Voting
I still haven't found a way to vote for contests other than to have people send me notes with their vote. This is a lot of work for me, so I'm trying to avoid it. Does anyone know of any other way? Polls only allow 10 options... Please comment if you have any suggestions.


Contest News Article
I've written a news article for the Winter Holiday contest. Take a look at it and give the little heart button a click. The journal can be found here: [link]

Hi!

Um...I submitted a deviation to the "Open Member Submition" and I changed the deviation by adding one extra image of the same set.

I got a message this morning saying that this group does not allow changes to the deviations AFTER being submitted.

But, in the rules of the current blog (journal) it doesn't clearly state that. I read and re-read...maybe its me...but it is not written..Maybe its in some rules I still haven't found that I haven't read...or something

But, I can change the deviation back to the original one that was submitted for it to be able to be back in the submissions folder or if I can't do that..can I re-submit the new one? Since I'm able to submit up to two per week..

Hmmm, that's not a rule that I have imposed. It must be something that is a standard rule for DA groups. I can't find any settings anywhere to (dis)allow that.

Are you able to remove the submission from the group, change the photo, and resubmit it to the group? If you can do that, I'll make sure it gets re-approved. If you can't, let me know which one it is and I'll manually remove it from the group.

Unfortunately, I can't hide/delete comments on the group's page. Seems to be something that DA overlooked in the new groups system... Oops. :)

I wish I could continue to watch this group. Unfortunately, you've lately been flooding my inbox out of control, which I prefer to keep clean and manageable, especially if I'm away for some time. I'll continue to check back, but I'll be removing you from my watch list.

I'm sorry to hear that. You can always just unwatch deviations from the group so you'll still get journals so you can keep in the loop for the goings on in the club.
