Just what we need another contest! "Too many aleady!",you say?. Every WTF forum has a photo contest but this one is different. In this one, you decide the topic, you decide the winner and you will decide the prize! In fact you will decide right now if this contest will even be a reality(you can't get much more democratic than that.) If this sounds interesting please respond to the poll by clicking on the buttons yes or no. Comments are welcome but only clicks will count towards the results.

Great idea.. you know I voted "yes" We should have stricter rules in this contest than in the regular forum pic contests. ie: overall composition (hands at ten and two), no allowing photoshopped entries, etc.

Jim, You mean a serious photo contest?! ;D I agree with you about the standards. This could wind up being a really strong competition!

I have an idea for categories (although there shouldn't be a thousand categories... too confusing).
Catalog Shots: Shots that detail as much of the natural appeal of the watch as possible. Focus is more on detail, focus, lighting for a complete (but stock) look at a wrist watch. Less focus on the "artistic nature" of true photography.
B&W Shots: Proper use of B&W photography to create a dramatic effect on the subject.
Artistic Shots: Where true creative minds (and photographers imaginations) will come into play. Creative use of backgrounds, lighting/shadows, highlighting the true essence of beauty in the form of the timepiece.
Macro: Self explanatory.
Dial Shots: Self explanatory.
LUME Shots: Shots of active luminescence.
Overall Choice: A compilation of the winners of each category judged to determine an overall winner. Each category has a top prize for each winner, and a grand prize for the "overall" winner. (Kind of like Best of Show")
Entrants should be allowed a minumum of 5 entries since this is a more serious contest that will likely have substantial prizes awarded. Here's the kicker... a minimum of ONE shot from each entrants overall contributions MUST be created specifically for this competition. So if you enter each category with maximum allowed entries (30) 29 may be photos previously used, but ONE as a minimum must be brand new shot for this competition.
I hope these suggestions prove useful... by no means should you feel you NEED to use any of them, just thought I'd throw some ideas out there.

I like Jim's suggestions of categories. It will add a lot to the entries and different styles of pics.

Hello. I think we could all enjoy a Photo contest for PC wallpaper. Lots of creativity involved. What do you think? Cheers,
Ron

Sounds like fun, but I suggest a MAXIMUM of three entries per category, with one original photo per. ;D
