I entered my photo of a jail cell//door for the current contest, yet I don't seem to see it on the contest entry pages. Could someone tell me what happened please? It's not even showing in my gallery, even tho it is listed in the contest entry place.

As you had already uploaded that particular image previously it contravened the coc.

Specifically: "Once an image has been uploaded to the site it should not be uploaded again unless substantial changes have been made to it. These changes should be enough so that it could be reasonable assumed that the resulting changed image would receive a better critique than the previous version."

Additionally contest entries are also supposed to be original images that have not been uploaded before either...

I wasn't aware that an older photo could not be used. Some contests don't seem to go by that. It would have been appreciated if I had been notified that my photo would not be used. V

Much like previously run site contests ... or, some and at one point ... these words were usually attached to the news announcement(s):

"Only original imagery and images that have not been previously uploaded to caedes.net are eligible for submission."


The idea of these contests, is to provide some impetus for the membership to try something new. Much like, and akin to your own words on some of the discussions regarding the selection of the topics/themes.


Aside from violating the Caedes Net Code of Conduct by uploading similar ... or exact same ... images ... the point of trying something new is lost entirely, if members were allowed to sift through their past uploads/postings and select one for any given contest.
