I'm sorry guys,  but you've lost me here. I don't understand how themes like "friendship" or "nature"are precise and technical. ??? The themes could not possibly have been more broad and open to interpretation, and usable with all themes. As for having a free theme, it never got voted in. If we had been allowed to assign themes as a team, we probably would have had a free theme every third month or so, but that was called undemocratic, so we were forced to complicate the whole process with asking for nominations and putting it to a vote. If we had just picked a theme, things would have been sooooo much simpler. But you can't please everyone, I guess. And the biggest proponents of a democratic process never participated either, so maybe that complaint should have been ignored. Oh well. Hindsight is 20/20.

Democracy is a killer for things like this ;) Someone needs to set rules and people will follow. I hope to see another rebirth of the contest, but its all up to the site owner I guess :)

Even though it has lost steam I really want to thank bb and Crew for taking so much personal time to organize the event.

Thank You  :pop:

Could it be that a monthly contest was too much? I can imagine that when it is two times a year, people have more time and work to that  'special moment' of the contest. More exlusive and more time... just a suggestion

I was thinking the same thing the other day. I do believe the contest might work if it's only twice a year.
And with some simple rules, or less rules. Pictures with playmobil, decent ones and every member is allowed to sent in a couple and they get posted in a poll and it's voting time.

That was all the rules we had with the monthly contest anyway! The complications were due to the fact that each month's theme had to be chosen "democratically" because some members insisted it was wrong for those organizing the contest to assign a theme, it should be voted on. So there had to be a poll to choose the theme, and a poll to vote for your favorite picture, and it got confusing. ANd even so, people complained about the themes being complicated, when the themes were VOTED in.

Maybe some day we'll try it again. But we got pretty fed up, and I don't think we're in the mood just yet. ;)

Yeah your right there, it gets frustrating.

We will wait and in the meantime post pics in the forum anyway, without a contest! :)

That's the spirit! Maybe if we can see enough people using the photography and graphics section to post artistic or humorous pics without the incentive of a contest, we can get back in the mood to try again some day. I have a series of funny pictures planned I've been meaning to shoot, so perhaps I should work on this.
