Great contest idea. Is it ok if i enter pictures that i've already submitted?

sure.

ahhh i like this one, already have 2 or even 3 ideas... so thats more than enough.

hmmm.......... =)

this should be some sort of fun

please put up with the questions of a newbie fool.. ive submitted 2 images for the contest, but they are only showing in the new images gallery not the contest gallery... slower update??

I've updated the info on the gallery to clarify that point. The images have to be manually moved to the contest gallery since the gallery is outisde of the 'new images' gallery.

just gotta say i think this is the best topic yet :-) but then of course i could be biased;-)

MUSIC?!!?!?! :D hehe..... I mite be able to find something interresting... or maybe not...

wots the reward for this contest .???

A warm fuzzy feeling of self worth...

C'mon, what is this?! We want fame, fortune, fame, maybe a bit more fortune. Woohahaaa!!! (I must be mad because I use 3 !'s)

How about suggesting some prizes. I'm kinda at a loss.

You're still going to confer the titles right, like Honorable Knight and what not? And if all else fails, a month or two for free in the Caedes Cadre isn't bad either.

I might create some new titles as well.

How about a Hall of Fame for the winners and runner-ups.

Well we sort of do that already with the contest results pages.

I guess you could give a discount on the posters (if the winners haven't already bought them), but really I think the recognition is enough for most people... and don't you normally give them free membership to the caedes cadre for a month?

ya the membership in the cadre is good

How about a nice pat on the back? ;-)

ya or that

The site can probably afford that.

how about the opportunity to be an image mod... i would really like to do that.

or... you know how cadre members, image mods, and moderators all have special little symbols in front of their names? well, y don't you make a special little symbol for contest winners?

I do sometimes use the contest winners as a basis for choosing next image mods. It is a good way to call attention to the artistic mindset that the ImageMods need.

The symbol idea is pretty good too, however I think it would be difficult to deal with the ramifications of the addition. If they are already in the CC then I couldn't add then the the new group, and if they later join the CC the new group membership would be lost.

I think just giving them a CC membership with the accompanying :: symbol is probably good enough.

true, unless you were to put something after their names. for example, I win the contest and my name changes from ::Lightning to ::Lightning~. I dunno, I would just think that, yes, gratification for winning the contest is most definitly good enough and adding a special symbol somewhere about their name would enhance this because then people would be able to recognize them as contest winners w/out going to the contest page to see, whereas the CC symbol wouldn't nessicarily represent their accomplishments as a contest winner. Of course, i may also just be defending my idea simply because its mine..lol. :)

Another option would be to "upgrade" those who were already cadre members and winners; so for example, a contest winner could be "-Samatar", while a cadre member who won could be "+Samatar". Of course you would have to be a little more imaginative with the symbols than I am...

ppigeon seems to have 3 pics in the contest??? :D

uh oh!! I think he meant to only have one of the guitar/poster images there. I'm sure he'll remove one of them, *hint hint*. =)

Just for the sake of precision, and not as a complaint, ppigeon has submitted 4 images, not just 3. :)

Hooo Sorry. How many images can we put in a contest?

I regret to say that the limit is 2 for this contest, Pierre. I am very new here, so I don't know about past/future contests.

Two? Ok, I'll fix that... Thanks!

Good topic

Oh if only I had a camera right now..... music is my life, it's what I do -- I have so many ideas and so little time.. and a performance tomorrow. Oh well. ;-)

Isn't the contest...already....over?

well it did say by the 15th.. which is the day before my birthday.. which was days ago anyway so just ignore me .. its not my birthday anymore

well mine was the 12th.. which was 3 days before the 15th.. which was one day before your birthday....

anyway, what's goin' on with the contest?

I think that the time for entries is over, but the judging is yet to take place.

Judgment day is upon us!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!........

ummm... what happened to the "contest" gallery.. and my picture..? Uhh....

the pics are being judged, and will be put back in under the contests tab on the side

ooooohhhh.. alright

*snaps mouse to peices in anticipation*

Sorry about the delay. I've been really busy at work and it doesn't look like I'll get a chance to finish until after ThanksGiving.

that's alright, but I really wanna know! REALLY REALLY!
