I think we need to look at some rules regarding the photo competitions (minus the normal guidelines). There are several brand-spankin-new members (ie 3 posts and under) who joined this site just to throw in their professional images in the competition. Should we make a rule regarding how many posts a user must have before joining a competition? IDK, maybe like 100 posts or so before they can be eligible for entering the competition? If not, youre just gonna have a million pro photographers Googling "photo contest" and stumble upon this site and enter the competition, w/o prior contribution to this site. Not quite what Id call fair.... I mean, Im all for seeing great photographs and all, but I think some guidelines need to be laid down. Anyone agree?
Interesting...did not notice that! Well since I been here the longest oh well...
They are the ones that did not bother to read the rules or the thread about the contest!!
With the prize money at stake for this contest I can understand your concern. With an all expense paid, two week trip to the Bahamas at stake I am sure " a million pro photographers" are gonna line up to submit their award winning shots.
All kidding aside, as a brand new member here, you could be talking about me (except my pictures suck, that is). I joined on the 28th of April, made one post about moving to Florida, one post about golfing and then stumbled here. I did not understand the rules and have since asked to have all (both) my entries deleted. I am tricky. I am setting you up for the next contest, where I win the all expense paid trip to Australia.
I'm assuming, Steve-O, that your comments are directed at me, considering I entered the contest and have under 3 posts (well, 3 including this one). I joined this site because I'm an avid follower of urban development and architecture who enjoys discussing cities. In fact, I'm a longtime moderator at Skyscrapercity and Skyscraperpage. Photography is just a pastime I enjoy, so when I saw there was a contest here, I figured I'd enter. I don't appreciate the imputation that I Googled "photo contest" and signed up just to win some contest.
You entered the contest 1st post....you told about your camera 2nd post & now this 3rd post!!!
